Something old ... Something new . ..

The concept of this sale-a form of trans-Atlantic auction-may be new to the majority of the recipients of the catalogue. The idea, however, is not a new one for Harmers .

Shortly after World War Two started , Harmers held a series of transAtlantic auctions of British-owned properties . The catalogues were produced in England and distributed to Harmers mailing list on both sides of the Atlantic. The stamps were placed on exhibition firstly in London and then in New York. The auctions were then held in New York and in every instance where the American bidding exceeded the British bidding , valuable dollars went to Britain to help the War effort.

This catalogue , the "Windsor" Collection, is the third example of a trans-Atlantic auction in Harmers ' modern era. The first , the Canadian " Pence" Issues on cover , was held on December 15, 1976 by Harmers of London in the New York Galleries; the second , auctioned on May 20-23, 1980, was the famous Sandra Ilene West Collections of Germany and Bavaria held by Harmers of San Francisco in the London Offices and now, once again , the London House is selling in New York.

The owner chose this method for several reasons , of which the most important was the holding of the sale in conjunction with Harmers "Quality" United States and Prestige '83 auctions. This was viewed by the owner and Harmers as a unique opportunity to assemble many of the world 's great collectors.

While the descriptive format is somewhat different than that normally seen in a Harmers' New York catalogue, it does combine styles of both London and New York for easier comprehension. Please note, however, that Harmers of New York must institute their Conditions of Sale and must also require payment to the New York Office in U.S. dollars.
