The Bookplate Society’s Members Auction 73 To take place on 4 October 2014 Please post bids to Peter McGowan, Nethergreen House, 9 The Green, Ruddington, Notts NG11 6DY Or email: [email protected] The absolute deadline is Tuesday, 24 September 2014 because Peter will be travelling, so send in bids early (late bids will not be received in time). Ensure you include your current address and contact details. If you are bidding by email, please make sure you have received his confirmation of receipt. Successful bidders living outside the UK will be asked to pay for their lots before despatch. If two bids of the same amount are received for a lot, then the bid received first will take precedence, so early bidding is desirable. All lots now carry reserves, either at a default value of 75% of the estimate or at an undisclosed figure set by the seller. No bid will be accepted below the reserve. Take into account that some of our estimated prices appear rather too modest, and may be well overbid. NB: See the members’ page of our website for images of this material. £ 1 Arm with supporters for 3 Earls: Earl of Kinoull, Chip for Thomas Hay 9th Earl, 1710-1787, succ 10 1758, F14196; Philip Earl of Stanhope, succ as 2nd earl 1720-21, d.1786, Jac; Earl of Mansfield KT (Murray).
