Auction Catalogue For161 Dec 18, 2010 Prestige Philately - Auction No 161 Page: 3 Prestige Points #161 1. Welcome to our last sale for what has been an eventful 2010. All of us at Prestige Philately thank you for your support in the past and look forward to being of service to you for many years to come. 2. Our October sale provided us with a good test. It was scheduled for the Gary Watson Saturday after the Australian Football League Grand Final, a sporting event that Director and Auctioneer has far more impact on the local populace than even the Melbourne Cup. Imagine our concern when the match was a draw (only the third in 150 years), and the Company Secretary: replay was scheduled for the same time as our auction! Needing to act decisively, Lakshini Watson we felt that the prospect of an empty auction room was an unacceptable risk for our rd Email: [email protected] vendors. We therefore moved the sale to the next day, the 3 of October, and set about advising everyone of the situation. General Manager: This is the first time we have ever held an auction on a Sunday. We are deeply Daniel Brown appreciative of the way our clients took it in their stride. We especially appreciate Email: [email protected] those who had made arrangements to come from interstate for the sale and who, in spite of their travel and accommodation plans being disrupted, happily went with Accounts: the flow. Our phone-bidders also accepted the change in good spirits and, of Bev Woods course, our valued staff willingly gave up their Sunday to make it all happen. Email: [email protected] The net outcome was a strong turnout, an active room, and a fine result. To all Despatch and Client Liaison: those who were in some way inconvenienced by the disruption to our schedule, I Nick Anning extend my regrets and apologies. To all, I offer my grateful thanks for proving once Email: [email protected] again that “stampies” are a flexible and resilient bunch. Lotting and Client Liaison: 3. Of course, the October sale was the first in our new premises at Boronia, in Matt Hancock Melbourne’s outer-eastern suburbs. Much to our relief and satisfaction, despite Email: [email protected] some modification to our well-honed practices, and the introduction of some new procedures, everything went off remarkably well. Richard Kennedy Client feedback has been universally positive. The vast and free parking options at Email: [email protected] Floriston Road made everyone smile, and those who came by train were relieved Client Support: to find that we are only a short walk from Boronia station. The bright and informal Leo Djuhari entrance foyer provided a warm welcome to our new home, and the quality of the Email: [email protected] lighting in the viewing room received favourable comment. The improved amenities situation was greatly appreciated. Even our new caterers got the Our Sydney Office: thumbs-up. Level 39, 2 Park Street 4. Clients who regularly attend our sales often remark on the warm welcome Sydney NSW 2000 they receive and the positive vibe that filters through our premises. The auction-day experience at Prestige is designed to be inclusive, stress-free, and a lot of fun. If Stephen Browne you have never been to one of our sales, I would encourage you to make a point of Phone: (02) 9004 7300 doing so. With airfares so competitively priced these days, and with us having now Email: [email protected] moved closer to both the CBD and the airport, it’s never been easier to come along. Our Perth Agent: We have some clients who take their annual leave to coincide with a Prestige Ross Duberal auction. They say it’s a highlight of their holidays. Although the internet now Phone: (08) 9341 3576 provides you with greatly enhanced access to and appreciation for the material Email: [email protected] being offered, there is still no substitute for the experience of actually being in the Our British Agents: room to soak up the auction atmosphere. Come and join us: I’m sure you will want Roger Lee to become one of our regulars. Phone/Fax (01869) 240 555 5. As you might expect, moving to new premises involves many changes. Email: [email protected] Naturally, our postal address has changed. We can still accept mail at our Belgrave mailbox. However, letters and parcels sent there can be delayed several Patrick Reid days. This has already caused some clients’ bids to arrive after the October sale. Phone (01344) 300 309 Please, please, please, make a note of our new contact details, which you will find Email: [email protected] on the inside front cover of this catalogue. Our American Agent: It is especially important if you are sending items to us by courier, that you Steve Schumann MUST provide our physical street address, Unit A, 8 Floriston Road, Boronia, Cell Phone: (510) 415 6158 Victoria. If your package is addressed to Belgrave you will probably get it back, Email: [email protected] thereby incurring aggravated delays and additional expense. Page: 4 Website: www.prestigephilately.com Dec 18, 2010 6. Another, unexpected, change occurred when Kim Campbell announced that she was leaving to take up a position with a medical research company. We thank Kim for her 8 years of dedicated service (in two stints) and we wish her success in her new career. Proving the value of a team-based working environment, Daniel, Bev, Nick and Matt have all willingly added parts of Kim’s functions to their job descriptions. We also saw Kim’s departure as an opportunity to add new skills to our team. Lakshini, Daniel and I weighed up the options and decided to appoint not one, but two, new people. Leo Djuhari has well-developed computer skills. In addition to taking on some of Kim’s administrative tasks, Leo is also providing valuable support to Daniel on the IT side of things. In Daniel’s absence on leave, and with Nick’s assistance, Leo has done most of the scans for this catalogue. I think you will agree he has done a fine job. (Leo can also respond to correspondence in Indonesian.) Richard Kennedy has been appointed as a trainee describer. I have long held the view that I could take an intelligent person who has a thirst for knowledge and attention to detail, and develop that person into an expert philatelic describer. Richard comes to us with no stamp knowledge, and no collecting background. However, he has enthusiastically accepted the challenge I placed before him. He is certainly a fast learner and, as you will see from the credits at the base of page 2, with guidance from Matt, he has already contributed to the lotting of this sale. Leo and Richard are both personable young men possessed of an admirable work ethic. They have slotted easily into the Prestige Team. All our staff are very pleased to have them both share in our journey. I’m sure you will also enjoy your interactions with them. 7. This sale comes hot on the heels of our Walkley/Nelson Double Header held at the end of November. Dozens of collections are scattered throughout the sale and represent some very good opportunities. The Kangaroos section offers range and quality. An exciting new discovery is revealed at Lot 183. The Australian postal history section includes some well-developed studies from a European vendor, plus more fascinating studies from our old friend Robin Occleshaw in England. The Australian Colonies material offers an array of beautiful proofs, high quality Classics and three sensational Victorian covers. There are also attractive ranges of the ever-popular Victorian postmarks and Western Australian railway stamps. In the Rest of the World, we have an unusual Antarctic array plus Falklands varieties, a fabulous Trinidad cover, a selection of Holocaust covers and ephemera, a further selection of Bahawalpur rarities, a magnificent block of New Zealand 6d Chalons and a group of intriguing United States inter-bank registered parcel tags. We also have three exceptional mid-1850s covers from India to Victoria, one of them mis-sent to Penang! 8. Looking ahead, in the past few weeks we have received for sale, from different sources, fine collections of New Guinea and Papua, plus a swag of presentation proofs of Papua New Guinea. These properties offer us the opportunity to develop around them a sale dedicated to the Pacific Islands, to be held on Saturday, 26th February 2011. If you have an appropriate collection, study, or even better single item(s) that you would like to consign for this sale, please act now. Material must be received by early January. 9. Finally, as this year rushes towards its inevitable conclusion, please accept from all of us at Prestige, our very best wishes to you for a blessed Christmas, a peaceful Hanukkah, or just a jolly good time during your end-of-year break. and the Team at Prestige Philately: Lakshini Watson, Daniel Brown, Nick Anning, Bev Woods, Matt Hancock, Leo Djuhari and Richard Kennedy. Dec 18, 2010 Prestige Philately - Auction No 161 Page: 5 Understanding our Symbols & Unique Grading System At Prestige Philately we utilise much the same symbols as other firms, but with some additional categories that you should be aware of. We are the only major firm in the world that actually grades the quality of the material we offer. While some clients have struggled with the whole concept of grading, most have clearly embraced the idea and we receive much favourable comment about the system.
