APPROVAL

What Harmers ' experts know about collectibles outside of the philatelic sphere is practically nothing !

What they know about stamps is second to none !

Because Harmers are specia list auctioneers , where every endeavor , every ability , every effort is directed to the disposal of philatelic material to maximum advantage .

MAJOR A&BREVIATIONS SE = Straight Edge; s.l. = straight-line; c.d.s. = Circular Date Stamp ; c.t.o. = Cancelled to Order ; F.D.C. = First Day Cover CONDITION The various gradings of stamps are , in order : superb; extremely fine ; very fine ; fine ; fair A lot described as '"fair '" is so listed either by reason of general appearance or more often because of a small fault or faults , such as a crease , thin spot , short or missing perf, perforated into , cut into , etc .

In the case of sets , large blocks , sheets , etc ., the condition quoted represents the average and quality above and below this standard can be expected .

Mixed condition : In large lots, the condijion is generally expected to range from fair to at best fine . Serious defects can be expected .

O.G. L.H. N.H. Shaded port ion can represent an actual hinge or the area disturbed by a hinge .

Never hinged - unused with original gum in Post Office state and unmounted.

Lightly hinged - unused with full original gum showing some evidence of a previous hinge , which may be present in part or entirely removed .

Original gum - unused with original gum somewhat disturbed by previous hinging which may still be present.

Part original gum .

Unused without gum \unless gum is mentioned) .

Unused without gum , as iss ued .

BLOCKS OR SHEETS AND THEIR GUM Minor separations are the rule, rather than the except ion, in the case of blocks or sheets of any size. A few separations-around four perts per row-do not affect the value of a block or sheet and are not grounds for the return of a lot.

Blocks of four that have two stamps o.g. and two stamps n.h. are described '"n.h.(2)/o.g.(2)"".

PAIRS All pairs are horizontal , unless otherwise mentioned .

CATALOGUE NUMBERS The catalogue numbers of the contents of the lots are given in parentheses immediat ely following the descr iptions , but in bulky lots only the range of issue is shown .

CATALOGUE VALUES The final column shows the catalogue value of the lot. This is shown in parentheses where , in the opinion of the auctioneer , the market value exceeds this figure .

ESTIMATED VALUES If an estimated cash value is given, it is shown in the description and always indicated by the abbreviation " Est. Cash Val. " It is used where the lot is large or where the actual value has little relation to the catalogue price .

It represents the auctioneer 's appraisal of the true MARKET value of a lot and the figure is invariably close to the actual realization . It is useless for mail bidders to list any bids that are only a low proportion of such estimates .
