THE DALE/ LICHTENSTEIN CAPES What can one say about this wonderful collection? It is unquestionably the finest group of Cape of Good Hope and is considered by many to be one of the greatest single countr y collections ever assembled in the world. It includes the pick of many years of buying by tw o top philatelists, Alfred F. Lichtenstein in the beginning, later jointly with his daughter Louise Boyd Dale and lastly by Mrs. Dale on her ow n.

What is grand in other Cape collections is conv entional in this one. Therefore, the rarities defy description-the magnificent singles with gum; the largest or near-largest blocks kno w n; cov ers representing virtually all values, many about which collectors have only dreamed .

And what can be said of the tw o greatest rarities of this intensel y collected country-the " Cape Error Cover", the rival of the Post Office Mauritius cover for w orld- w ide philatelic excellence and rarity , and the "Tete-Beche Pair " of the 4d blue, merely (if we may be forgiven ) unique. Harmers has particular affinity for this tete-beche variety, for it was on October 13, 1930 that it was first auctioned by H .R . Harmer at the London Galleries.

There is always regret for an auctioneer who becomes the instrument in overseeing the final dissolution of a collection of such magnitude. It is also difficult to express the excitement one feels when looking at a single album page and seeing on it, this one page only , not one but a number of priceless pieces. Thus, it is with some sadness that we removed the Cape items from their original exhibition sheets in order to prepare this collection for auction.

Now the opportunity is presented herein to philatelists throughout the w orld to obtain this exceptional material after so many years. And w e hope that the enthusiasm, the passion and the joy that Alfred F. Lichtenstein and Louise Boyd Dale had for this grand Cape of Good Hope Collection is reflected in this catalogue .

THE ISSUED STAMPS PERKINS, BACON

& CO., LTD.

1853 DEEPLY BLUED PAPER Due to the number of printings of the blued paper, color variations abound from those designated in Stanley Gibbons. Therefore, we have utilized this impeccable collection as the source of reference for our classifications. In addition, the majority of the blued papers are with "ivory heads" and we have therefore not distinguished them from the normal.

4 PENCE BLUE TRIANGULAR PAIR FORMING THE UNIQUE TETE -BE.CHE PAIR. ROYAL CERT. (1930) "ge nuine ' tete -b eche ' pair". FROM THE BAINBRIDGE AND RIESCO COLLECTIONS ..... ............................

(9)

For hi storical purpo ses we reproduce below H ar mers' original descr iption from the October 13, 1930 auction of the " Bainbridge " Collection -l ot #544 .

"A REMARKABLE PAIR SHOWING ERROR OF SETTING, DUE TO TWO STEREOS BEING MISPLACED , FORMING A 'SIDEWAYS' PAIR. THE PIECE HAS ONLY RECENTLY BEEN DISCOVERED AND IS, WE BELIEVE , THE ONLY KNOWN PAIR OF THIS ERROR OF SETTING. BOTH ST AMPS ARE WHAT IS KNOWN AS TYPE 1b AND MUST THEREFORE HA VE COME FROM THE LIMITED FIRST PRINTING IN SHEET OF 24; THE VARIETY PROBABLY OCCURRED IN A SMALL PORTION OF THE PRINTING OWING TO TWO CLICHES FALLING OUT AND BEING WRONGLY REPLACED. THE PIECE IS OF FINE COLOUR, LIGHTLY CANCELLED BUT SLIGHTLY THINNED; THE RIGHT HAND STAMP IS TOUCHED AT PLACES. " Our Annual R esume from the 7930-37 Season notes: " H ere w e ha v e a remarkable instance of a philat elic v ariety of the first importance passing unrecognised through sev eral hand s until it came under the expert eye of Mr. H.R . H armer. I ts discov ery pro v ided one of the philatelic sensations of 1930-3 1. The pair, w hich no w adorn s the greatest specialised collection of T riangular 'Cape s' in the w orld, has been de scribed by the leading authority on these issues as 'unique and w ithout riva l '."

I n addition, an article on the find occurs in " Stamp Collecting ", Au g ust 23rd, 1930.
