(Cover Photo ) (14,15) Est. Cash Value $4,000-6,000

This cover traveled by British Mail on the Cunard "Europa " via Marseilles as evidenced by the "34" magenta credit marking.

The rate was 39 cents. Evidently the Mobile postmaster did not notice the three fo lded-over 10 cents imperforates and added the perforated JO cents to make 40 cents (a one p enny overpayment). The three "unnoticed " stamps were subsequently pe n cancelled in New York in the same magenta ink as the ms. "34 ". A fa scinating examp le of stamp usage and routing to a rare destination

OUR APOLOGIES The photo of lot #33 on page 7 was inadvertantly omitted.

It is shown below.

CONDITIONS OF SALE THE PLACING OF A BID SHALL CONSTITUTE ACCEPTANCE OF THE CONDITIONS OF SALE BIDDING Unless announced otherwise by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot, as numbered in the printed Catalogue . H.R. Harmer, Inc. (hereinafter "Harmers"), License #s 672829, 780870, as agent for the consignor or vendor, shall regulate the bidding and shall determine the manner in which the bidding shall be conducted.

Harmers reserves the right to withdraw any lot prior to sale (without liability to any potential purchaser or agent) , to re-offer any withdrawn lot, to divide a lot or to group two or more lots belonging to the same consignor or vendor, and to refuse any bid believed not made in good faith.

The highest bid acknowledged by the auctionee r shall prevail. Should a dispute arise betwee n bidders (including a dispute between a floor bidder and the auctioneer acting on behalf of a mail bidder, consignor or vendor), the auctioneer alone shall determine who is the successful bidder and whether to reoffer the lot in dispute . Should a dispute arise after the sale, the auctioneer's sale records shall be conclusive . On all lots sold , a commission of 15% on the hammer price Is payable by the buyer. (a) The auctioneer reserves the right to bid on behalf of clients (and consignors or vendors) but shall not be liable for errors and omissions in executing instructions to bid, however received, and whether such errors or omissions be those of the bidder or agent or those of the auctioneer. (b) All lots are offered subject to a reserve price. The auctioneer may implement such reserve price. The auctionee r may implement such reserve price by bidding on behalf of the consignor vendor. (c) It may also be assumed that all consignors have been advanced monies against the sale of their stamps and Harmers therefore has a security interest over and above the normal auction commission. (d) Purchases made by a consignor or vendor or his agent on his own lots shall be considered as a sale subject to commissions and sales tax as applicable. (e) Agents are responsi ble for all purchases made on behalf of their clients , unless other arrangements have been confirmed in writing prior to the aucti on .

PAYMENT FOR PURCHASES Payment for lots, including those on which opinions are desired (Condition of Sale 8), shall be as follows : (a) Floor Bidders . Payment of the purchase price, or such part there of as Harmers shall require, shall be made by the purchaser in such manner as Harmers may determine . The name and address of the purchaser of each lot shall be given to the auctioneer immediately following the sale of such lot. (b) Mail Bidders . A successful mail bidder will be notified of lots purchased .

Before Harmers will send such lots, payment in full must be received by Harmers within three (3) business days of receipt of the aforesaid notification by the mail bidder . However, a purchase r known to Harmers , or who furn ishes satisfactory references, may at Harmers option, have purchases delivered or forwarded for immediate payment (by a dol lar draft on a U.S. bank in the case of overseas purchasers ). Mailed delivery will be to the address on the bid sheet and proof by Harmers of receipt of a sending at the advised address shall constitute delivery. All charges for handling , delivery and insurance (obtained by Harmers on behalf of the purchaser ) shall be added to the purchase price ; a minimum charge of $1.00 will be made. Risk of loss in transit shall be on the purchaser . (c) Where an opinion of a generally recognized authority• is desired, the time for payment may be extended in accord with and subject to Condition of Sale 8.

Title shall not pass to the purchaser until full payment has been received by Harmers as agents for the consignor or vendor. (a) Purchasers agree to pay for lots as specified in Condition of Sale 4 (or as the same may be modified by Condition of Sale 8), and no credit is extended ; a late payment charge of 2% for the first month and 2 1/2% for each succeeding month compoun ded shall be added if payment is not made in accordance with the aforesaid conditions . (b) In the event that a bidder shall fail to comply with these Conditions of Sale ("Non-Complying Bidder"), then , as to any lot with respect to which such failure to comply occurs , Harmers may, in its sole discretion , re-offer such lot during the same auction or at an auction at a later time , or by private treaty at such time as Harmers, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate and the Non-Complying Bidder shall be liable for the deficiency, if any, between the hammer price and the net proceed s of a sale to a subsequent purchaser , whether at auction or by private treaty, as well as for all costs and expenses of both sales , all other charges due thereun der, including commissions with respect to both sales, whether payable to Harmers or to a third party and all incide ntal damages . It shall be in Harmers' sole discretion to determine whether to re-offer the lot theretofore hammereddown to a Non-Complying Bidder at the same auction , or by private treaty in due course , or at a subsequent auction conducte d by Harmers. In no event shall any surplus arising from the sale of a re-offered lot be payable to a Non-Comply ing Bidder. (c) A defaulting purchaser shall be deemed to have granted Harmers a security interest in property in Harmers possess ion owned by such purchaser.

Harmers shall have all of the rights afforded a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code with respect to such property an may apply against such obligations all monies held or received by it for the account of, or due from Harmers to such purchaser . (d) If Harmers takes any legal steps to secure payment of a delinquent account , the defaulting purchaser shall be liable for all legal and other expenses incurred by Harmers to secure such payment , including but not limited to a reasona ble allowance for attorneys ' fees. For purposes of this paragraph , the term legal steps shall be deemed to include any and all consultation by Harmers with its attorneys with respect to all matters arising out of a delinquent account. · For UnitedStatesstamps,thegenerallyrecogn ized authority, unlessotherwise agreed, shallbe the Philatelic Foundation al NewYork

If an opinion of a generally recognized authority is desired, the period of time within which a lot must be received by Harmers will be extended in accordance with Condition of Sale 8. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved by reference to a generally recognized authority, and Harmers thereupon undertakes to re-offer the lot with a description identical to the descript ion disputed , the Returning Purchaser shall be liable for the deficiency, if any, between the proceeds of the sale to the Returning Purchaser and the proceeds of a sale to a subsequent purchaser , as well as for all costs and expenses of the re-sale, including commissio n, and all incidental damages . Any lot, the description of which is disputed , must be returned intact in the condition received by the purchaser. The following lots are not returna ble except at the discretion of Harmers : (i) lots from purchasers who attended the exhibition of the lots ; (ii) lots examined by postal viewers ; (iii) lots on acco unt of thei r appearance , if they are illustrate d in this Catalogue ; (iv) lots described as having repairs, defects or faults- for any reason ; (v) U.S. stamps (through 1918) for reasons of paper inclusions , (vi)no encapsulate d stamps unless originally offered in this condition . (d) Authenticity .
