This special auction is devoted to Scouting, Mafeking, and allied material formed by the late David C. Jefferies of Edinburgh. He was as well known for scouting interests and activities as he was for philatelic, and in his collections his interests often went hand in hand.
We held a similar auction in June, at which time we believed we were offering his complete collection. However, everything in this catalogue has appeared from his estate since then; sufficient to warrant a second sale. We understand there is no more remaining.
We have tried here to present material for sale in such a way as to allow collectors the chance to obtain interesting single items, while there are other lots which will suit dealers or enthusiastic collectors.
Please check through the different sections, as some items do not clearly fall into one category !
Collections and Mixed Lots.
Estimates; Please note that in the china and metalware section we give descriptions only, without estimates. Any customers seeking guidance can approach us for our current feelings. Starting prices will be disclosed at any time, but top bids will never be disclosed. There are no reserves.
A final list of starting prices will be published in the day or two preceding the auction and will be displayed at the viewing. A list will also appear on our website (follow link from sale introductions at scouts2005b.html).
Clearly, some customers may well enter bids at just a few pounds on lots that end up selling for hundreds, and we hope that no one will feel any embarrassment through this.
We are not in the habit of selling unsold lots after the auction has finished. {1} We have very few unsold lots anyway. {2} Any unsolds will probably appear again in a future sale. (There were no unsolds in the June Scouting sale).
Illustrations; Some of the three-dimensional items in this auction have been photographed, and these images (marked ( in the catalogue) can be seen at images.html. These will be available during the few days preceding the auction.
Viewing at Venue; We hope to have most of the more fragile lots out on open view. Note that there will be some restriction to the handling of these lots.

Q96 o9w A world collection in three old and battered binders. At first sight, the collection looks
merely good, but studied attention reveals a steady stream of single stamps, sets, and part sets
which are better (and others which are not so much valuable as unusual). Seems to cover only
the period approx. 1900 to 1940. Majority used, but a fair number mint, and the condition
overall is fine. Certainly strongest in Europe, but still with useful ranges of Overseas and
Commonwealth. (Some thousands of stamps) ( .. .. £1,000 to £1,500.
o9t Not for the fainthearted, this carton is stuffed with pages, packets, and so on, with a huge
array of world stamps. Many hours of sorting. Apparently originally from a foreign source,
there is a strong showing of Europe and Overseas. (1,000s) ( .. .. £200.

ation. Also others in tins, small stockbooks, etc. Mainly used Europe. ( .. 75.

box. Thousands of loose cheap stamps in packets, two old (1950s) Michel catalogues with
hundreds of stamps between the pages, some duplicated used world on stockcards (up to
1970s), etc. Mixed periods. ( .. .. .. .. .. 50.

UK/IoM stamps, some UK packs (c. late 1960s/early 70s), and various other world odds.
(100s) ( .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 50.
G91 Large accumulation (“guddle” would be kind) in large carton – loose stamps, small stock-
books, envelopes/packets, box of RAF covers, binders, junior albums, etc. (1,000s) ( 50.
o9t Mixed big box. Several shoeboxes of packets of USA, Hungary, Austria, UK and many
others. Although bulk is cheap stamps, by no means rubbish, and many odd bits to pick over.
Another good sort. (Many 1,000s) ( .. .. .. .. 50.
o9t Two plastic tubs with a duplicated stock of singles, sets/part sets made up in packets and pre-
sented ready for sale. Issues included up to 1970s – mint, used, and c.t.o., with many thema-
tics and much from the more prolific countries. Useful stock in the right hands. (1,000s) ( 50.
o9t Carton of world stock/accum.; many 1,000s arranged in packets in small boxes, a big packet
of bundleware, some 100s of Canada perfins, a few UK company opts., kiloware, etc. Some

albums/stockalbums. (1,000s) ( .. .. .. .. .. 50.
o9t World remainders in two old fat and heavy Scott’s Junior albums, plus another fifteen mixed
albums, binders and stockalbums with varied contents. Much foreign, and nothing very
modern. Heavy lot, worth ploughing through. (1,000s) ( .. .. 50.

Much common, some bits of interest. Many foreign. (1,000s) ( .. .. 40.

betically I to Y. Stamps often in wrong spaces. Wide range. (1,000s) ( .. 40.

wealth. (100s) ( .. .. .. .. .. .. 35
o9t Carton with many thousands of off-paper stamps mainly sorted into envelopes, arranged in
shoeboxes and similar. Also mixed other odds. Probably covers certain countries only, but
difficult to qualify this without spending more time than we intend. Should either be viewed,
or a real shot-in-the-dark for a blind bid. In some of this and the following lots there are
some older, some have large numbers of QE used West Indies. ( .. .. 35.

Stamps and Covers
( Throughout the stamp sections, stamps and miniature sheets are generally in fine condition,
decently mounted using hinges.
( at the end of a description indicates that covers and cards have been mounted using
adhesive tape (“sellotape”) on the reverse in the manner of a large stamp hinge; this will
almost certainly leave at least a mark when removed. Non-stamp items (badges etc.) are
also “hinged” with sticky tape.
Covers are mainly a mix of souvenir/FDC, and of national Scout HQs etc. Some occasional
Girl Guide material is included.

Changes from Normal Arrangements;
VIEWING of all lots on the auction day will be from 11am.
There will be no Buy or Bid Sale.
The shop telephone will probably not be answered on auction day. Please use the mobile or auction venue numbers as shown on back of bid form, and in Collectables catalogue.
THE AUCTION VENUE is 650 metres West of our Shop, on Ferry Road. It has its own car park.
The bar (upstairs) is open 5-10pm and also serves a variety of food, teas and coffees. Please note that
we do not allow drinks at the viewing tables, but you are welcome to bring drinks down from the bar
once the auction has started.
€uro Currency; We are happy to accept Euro cash payments in our shop. We display our rate beside the counter. We normally allow the market rate rounded down to the next whole penny. For example, at the time of writing, the market rate is 0.6773570, so we are allowing 675p per Euro (which is probably better than your bank will give you). You can also pay for auction lots in Euro banknotes
((postal customers please confirm before sending). We cannot yet take auction bids or cheques in Euros.
We also accept payments in our shop in Euros, and we buy the old “legacy” currencies, as well as other coins and notes.
