Used Admirals, Spinks Auction

Today brought a very ordinary two volume collection of (owner's count) 14,481 different stamps. As is our usual practice we paid 1¢ a stamp for collections of this type and offer it for sale at $280.

Several new lots have been prepared. The most interesting is the Jim Webb collection/inventory of used Admirals. This has many scarcer varieties. We are able to offer it at $450 which is a low percentage of the catalogue value. Phone us or drop into the store for more details.

This morning Spink Auctions in London offered some scarce Great Britain items. We acted as agent in placing these in this auction and in the space of a few minutes the lots sold for more than £40,000. It was quite exciting to see the best two being bid up in increments of one thousand pounds.

Old customers continue to drop in and so far everyone who has commented has been impressed. One frustration for us is the lack of cooperation that the National Capital Commission has shown in allowing a sign on the plywood hoarding the front of the old store directing people to come one block east to 62 Sparks St.

Today's picture of the store shows a view from the back of our new store and shows the impressively high ceilings.
