1866-79, a selected group of seven covers, including Trebizond with an extraordinary and
probably unique franking made up of 1864 2s., 3s. (3), 10s. (5) and 15s., all cancelled in
blue, of great visual impact; Jerusalem with two covers, one registered addressed to a very
rare destination, Russia, bearing 1867 10s. (2) & 15s. (2), the other with single 1867 10s.
to Constantinople; a visually attractive cover with 1864 5s. (5) neatly tied by “Lettere
Arrivate/Col Vapore/Dal Levante” three-lines handstamp; two covers from Smirne, one
with small type c.d.s. bearing 1867 2s., 3s. (2) & 15s., the other with 1867 3s. (2) & 10s.

1863, March 10. Cover from Alexandria to Leghorn (Italy), bearing Sardinia imperforate
1855 20c., six singles, 40c. (bottom right corner with imperfection) and 1858 80c., all
with mainly wide margins, tied by “Alessandria d’Egitto” c.d.s.’s in blue, repeated
alongside, showing framed “Piroscafi Postali Francesi” marking at right denoting carriage
by French vessels, following disembarkation in Sicily, with corresponding transit and
arrival on reverse. Addressee’s panel restored, and some reduced tone spots, of no
importance for this key rarity. A unique franking, being the highest known on cover
of this early issue used in Egypt, with its desirability being augmented by the fact
of representing the earliest recorded date of use of the highest denomination, the
80c., as well as of the 10c. The most significant cover of the Italian post office; it
must be considered as one of the most celebrated covers of Egyptian postal-history.

Lettera su pergamena del 21.VIII.1464 del DOGE CRISTOFORO MORO (14621471). Nel 1463 accettù l’invito di Pio II e si mise a capo di una crociata contro i turchi.
In quegli anni infatti i turchi avevano insidiato i possedimenti veneziani e aveva luogo la
Guerra Veneto-Turca, tra 1463 e 1479. Interessantissima lettera perché spedita “dalla
nostra ducal Triremi nel Porto di Parenzo (Istria)” e diretta all’Illustrissimo Dominio
Ducale delle Venezie. La lettera venne scritta qualche giorno dopo la partenza della flotta
veneziana da Ancona, porto dal quale, alla presenza di Papa Pio II e al comando del Doge,
avrebbe dovuto far vela per l’Oriente verso una nuova Crociata. Il 15.VIII Pio II morì ad
Ancona e Cristoforo Moro decise di ritornare a Venezia dando disposizioni per il
trattamento delle galere pontificie ed i relativi equipaggi. Bellissimo sigillo in piombo del
Doge. Eccezionale documento postale di estrema rarità, perché redatto a bordo di
nave e trasmesso via mare a Venezia. Splendida qualità. Regesto. Foto

1858, cartoncino con applicate otto prove del conio originale dei francobolli di Sicilia,
stampate su carta bianca, spessa, soffice e porosa. La fila inferiore reca i sette valori
dell’emissione con tonalità cromatiche dissimili rispetto alle cromie dell’emissione
definitiva; in alto appare una prova del 5 grana in una delle tonalità di colore emesse,
vermiglio vivo, sulla quale è impressa, in nero, una prova dell’annullamento a “ferro di
cavallo”, apposta con la finalità di non deturpare l’effigie di Ferdinando II. Emilio Diena,
nella sua opera sui francobolli di Sicilia, descrive questo insieme e nota che “l’effigie è
impressa con grandissima abilità, e mostra una meravigliosa finitura, morbidezza di tocco
ed espressione vivace. È facile rendersi conto che si tratta dell’opera di un artista dei più
abili”. Illustrata sul catalogo Sassone 2015 a pagine 386, rappresenta una delle più grandi
rarità di Sicilia. Le prove sono state realizzate da Tommaso Aloisio Juvara; grazie all’opera
di questo grande artista, i francobolli di Sicilia sono giustamente considerati tra i più belli
dell’ intera iconografia filatelica mondiale. Lo straordinario stato di conservazione, anche
considerando qualche lieve e quasi impercettibile punti di ossidazione di nessuna
importanza, avvalora ancora maggiormente l’importanza di questa gemma, che
rappresenta un insieme assolutamente unico. Cert. Enzo Diena ed A. Bolaffi. Foto

soprastampato “Estero” , 1878, 20c. (11) annullato in azzurro con timbro lineare “Baia
di Assab”; cerchi a data di Brindisi e Livorno al verso, dove giunse il 23 dicembre. In
questo periodo di conquista e certa precarietà, la corrispondenza da Assab era consegnata ad
una nave stazionaria che più o meno quindicinalmente si recava ad Aden, dove era
consegnata al Console italiano, per poi inoltrarla via Brindisi, in una grande busta, tramite
l’ufficio dell’India brittanica ad Aden. Busta leggermente ridotta a sinistra, un fatto di
assolutamente nessuna importanza per questa grande rarità. Delle cinque lettere note,

transfers at lower right caused by a shifted alignment -a variety scarcely encountered-,
slightly cut into at right, otherwise mostly very good margins, tied to 10 June 1849 cover

and subsequently rejoined, not detracting. An unusual franking paying the single
maritime rate, being the largest franking and multiple known of this value on cover,

1844, 60 r. black, type II, late impression, a magnificent large margined vertical strip of
six, just touched at bottom, applied on judicial document delivered through the post from
João da Barra to the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice, dated July 1st, 1851. The franking
paid the special postal rate for a judicial document weighing 48 “oitavas’’ (8 “oitavas’’ per
each 60 réis). As described inside, the total costs of the legal proceedings amounted to
3$298 réis, out of which 360 réis were related to postal expenses. Judicial case dossiers
could neither be processed nor distributed to the litigants without payment of the mail’s
postage. To our knowledge, a unique multiple on document carried through the mails.

225 1845, 90 r. black, yellowish paper, intermediate impression, type IIa, a remarkable block
of six (3x2) with predominantly large margins, just touched at top right of upper right
adhesive, together with a block of four, just touched at left, otherwise large margins, in
combination with 30 r. black vertical pair, type II, all tied to piece of judicial document
carried through the post, dated 18 March 1856 by framed ‘Cidade/De/Nictheroy’
handstamp in a brilliant orangish red colour. Type IIa (sometimes known as type III)
introduces one of the most fascinating mysteries in the “Inclinados” issue: the plating of the
90r. value. Until 1973, all multiples, which only exhibited Type IIa characteristics, were
believed to have originated from a second 90r. plate made up solely of this type that was only
ever printed on the thin paper. However, at the 1973 IBRA exhibition in Munich, a vertical
block of twelve (2x6) was discovered that was composed of Types IIa in the left hand row
combined with Types II, I, II, I, IIa & IIa in the right hand row. This discovery put into
question the previously held belief of a plate composed solely of Type IIa stamps and it also gave
rise to a theory that there may, in fact be three different plates. Everaldo N. dos Santos in his
article “Inclinados, o Maior Desafio do Filatelia do Brasil” (“Inclinados, the Biggest
Challenge of Brazilian Philately”) argues against the three plates scenario and it is his
opinion that the second plate consists of Type IIa stamps together with both Types I and Type
II stamps. Obviously, any Type IIa multiples are very important building blocks in either
attempting to complete the layout of this plate or in trying to prove the possible existence of a
third plate. Positional pieces such as these very rare blocks are even more so. The largest
franking recorded of the fascinating type IIa, including the second and third largest
multiples in existence the 90 r. value type IIa. The blocks being key items in
establishing the curious layout on the plate which includes the type IIa. A most
desirable, great rarity of Brazilian philately. Cert. Moorhouse. RHM 5, 7D. Ex Hubbard.

one large envelope with 11 examples (one single and five pairs), a very rare via Panama

United States-Chile combination franking, and rare 5c. embossed postal stationery
envelope uprated with 5c. (5) & 10c. in a very late period (1880) when, as a result of the
shortage of adhesives available during the Pacific War, it was authorized the usage or
remainders of this issue. An extraordinary group including several key rarities of this, the

marking denoting single rate: the application of this postmark on a Colombian adhesive

1913, May 25. 5c. Federal envelope sent from Torreón addressed to Chihuahua. After
Pancho Villa took Jiménez and Santa Rosalía in April and Parral in May, Chihuahua and
Ciudad Juárez were the only towns in the state which remained in Federal hands. The

Mercado which were virtually isolated in Chihuahua by Villa’s guerrillas. Stamped
“Devuelta a su procedencia por estar clausurada la oficina de destino”; the word
“clausurada” was crossed out and “Incomunicado” written below. After an attempt to

1914, March 3. 5c. Federal envelope to Sinaloa, readdressed to Torreón. The battle for
Torreón began a couple of weeks after this cover was sent, with mail deliveries probably
halted by the 25 March, if not earlier; Sinaloa had been in the hands of the
Constitutionalists since 5.10.1913, so it was closed to Federal deliveries, therefore with
“Clausurada la Oficina de destino” and for its being sent to Mexico City where authorities
at the Departamento de Regazos searched the address of the sender which they wrote in
red; by that time Torreón had been taken by Villa, and so the second “clausurada”
handstamp was applied. Backstamp “Mazatlán” implies transport by ship since this port
was closed to approach by land. Scarce and very interesting.

Celestino USUELLI (1877-1926). Usuelli fu no dei più importanti aeronauti e progettisti
di dirigibili italiani. Effettuò quasi 100 ascensioni in pallone libero, una delle quali si
concluse in tragedia con l’annegamento dei suoi due compagni di volo. Partecipò tre volte
alla Coppa Gordon Bennett. Fu il primo ad attraversare le Alpi da est a ovest nel 1906,
impresa che gli valse la Coppa Regina Margherita. Collaboratore e socio di Crocco,
Ricaldoni e Nobile, fu progettista e fabbricante di dirigibili, tra i quali il T 34 “Roma”, di
34.000 metri cubi, il più grande dirigibile semirigido dell’epoca, che fu venduto agli Stati
Uniti. Contribuì in modo determinante alla formazione della “scuola dirigibilistica
italiana”, del dirigibile semirigido, in contrapposizione con i rigidi Zeppelin. Usuelli fu
anche presidente della sezione di Milano della Società Aeronautica Italiana. Questo
importante lotto comprende circa 250 documenti, foto originali, lettere, verbali
ascensioni, progetti, documenti sul palloni pilotati da Usuelli, due libri con la descrizione
di tutte le ascensioni del dirigibile U 3; il libretto originale di carico e scarico del pallone
Regina Elena (tragico naufragio di Ancona); un grande album con quasi 100 fotografie
originali dei primi dirigibili dal 1911 al 1914 e dei Cantieri Usuelli di Villapizzone; libro
cassa e libro paga dei cantieri; tracciati barografici di ascensioni, tra cui la seconda
traversata alpina; relazioni di ascensioni con dirigibili, con tracciati barografici e firme
autografe dei piloti; cartoline relative ad alcuni voli in pallone; foto di famiglia e
corrispondenza autografa con tutti gli aeronauti contemporanei. Insieme assolutamente
unico ed eccezionale. Gran parte del materiale proviene dalla famosa collezione Taragni.

Aerostatica Italiana, “antichi” e precursori. L’aerostatica in Italia ebbe lontane origini.
Dopo la Francia, l’Italia fu la seconda nazione a fornire un contributo scientifico e sportivo
fondamentale alla attività del più leggero dell’aria. In questo lotto sono rappresentati nel
modo migliore tutti gli eventi aerostatici che si verificarono a partire dagli ultimi decenni
dell’Ottocento e fino al 1905. Si tratta di uno dei periodi dei quali, paradossalmente,
esistono meno documenti, assai meno di quelli del periodo antico. Questo insieme
comprende circa 100 pezzi di particolare pregio e rarità, di cui molti, sopratutto cartoline
illustrate, ricercati dai collezionisti; particolarmente belle e rare le cartoline relative
all’Esposizione di Torino 1898, tra cui un rarissimo esemplare viaggiato. Sono presenti
anche tessere di ingresso e manifestini lanciati da bordo dei palloni in volo. Pregevolissimi
i documenti su Cirillo Steffanini, tutti autografi, tra i quali spicca un cartoncino che egli
lanciava dalla mongolfiera durante le sue esibizioni al trapezio, un pezzo davvero unico,
firmato e datato dall’aeronauta. Completano il lotto: le prime cartoline del lancio del
pallone di San Marcello Pistoiese, rare cartoline del pallone Gigante e del Centauro a
Genova, degli aeronauti Zambianchi e Quaglia, che come Steffanini si esibivano
compiendo volteggi al trapezio, appesi al pallone privo di controllo, e un biglietto per
assistere a un’ascensione di Francesco Orlandi. Interessante un campione di tessuto del
dirigibile Leonardo da Vinci di Forlanini. Tutti i pezzi sono ben documentati e spesso
sono accompagnati da ritagli di giornali dell’epoca con la cronaca dell’evento. Inisieme di
grande importanza, straordinario e unico, rappresentante uno dei periodi più affascinanti
della conquista dell’aria. Gran parte del materiale proviene dalla collezione Taragni. Foto

1895-1926, interessantissima raccolta di oltre 50 pezzi di grande formato, contenuti in
un album grande (50x40cm) e due portarotoli: giornali, manifesti, fogli lanciati in
occasione di raduni aerostatici, un’azione della teleferica del Monte Matanna (pezzo
unico a quanto ci risulta), lettera del 1896 da Steffanini Cirillo Stephenson (della Flottiglia
Aeronautica Milanese) annunciando ladunanza per costruire un parco aerostatico, le
bandiere per le auto inseguitrici durante i rally-ballon (rarissime), la documentazione del
record di durata stabilito da Donner Flori, con tracciato barografico completo del volo.
In due tubi si trovano sei grandi manifesti telati, interessantissimi e alcuni insoliti, molto
difficilmente reperibili e la maggior parte fine 800-primi 900, in ottime condizioni grazie
alla telatura che ne ha impedito l’altrimenti inevitabile deterioramento. Visione altamente
suggerita per la belleza ed importanza dei pezzi. Foto

1906, ESPOSIZIONE DI MILANO. L’Esposizione Internazionale di Milano del 1906 fu
una grandissima riunione internazionale, istituita per commemorare la inaugurazione del
traforo ferroviario del Sempione, all’epoca la più lunga galleria mondiale; l’esposizione di
Milano, pur non raggiungendo il rango di “Universale”, vide la presentazione di tutto ciò
che la scienza e la tecnologia dell’epoca considerava all’assoluta avanguardia, soprattutto nel
campo dei trasporti terrestri e dei nascenti trasporti aerei. Gli spettatori furono valutati in
circa 10 milioni in totale, una cifra enorme per l’epoca. Durante l’evento furono effettuate
16 gare tra aerostati, un cimento sportivo che all’epoca rappresentava un primato mondiale.
Prima del 1906 erano state effettuate solo poche gare, la maggior parte delle quali in
Francia. Per ospitare i palloni e i neonati dirigibili fu creato un grande “parco aerostatico”
che rappresentava una delle massime attrattive dell’Esposizione. Un pallone vincolato
portava gli spettatori fino a oltre 200 metri di altezza. Questo lotto comprende circa 200
documenti, tra cui il noleggio dei palloni della SAI, i verbali pre-esposizione, libri di
bordo, cronache e resoconti. Numerose e belle le foto e le cartoline stampate per l’evento,
tutte particolarmente rare. Insieme straordinario e unico, da esaminare. Foto

Aerostatica, 1906-anni 20. Lotto di grandissima importanza comprendente circa 300
pezzi, tra cartoline, lettere autografe, tessere, menu in occasione di ritrovi tra aeronauti,
statuti, tracciati barografici, relazioni, ecc. Tra le cartoline è presente la “teleferica” del
Monte Matanna, unico esperimento mondiale di trasporto passeggeri mediante un
pallone ancorato ad una rotaia; la cartolina, a colori, è autografata da tutti i protagonisti
e si tratta di un pezzo unico, certamente considerata come la più rara cartolina
dell’aerofilia italiana, di cui se ne conoscono una decina di pezzi, ma questo è l’unico
conosciuto che porti tutte le firme dei protagonisti, e fu regolarmente spedita all’indirizzo
della figlia dell’ingegner Porro Lodi, con Romeo Frassinetti tra i progettisti della
ingegnosa e originale teleferica. Completano il lotto documenti fotografici
importantissimi, relativi a eventi a Gallarate, a Mantova, in Liguria, a Milano, Padova,
Biella, Como, Lecco, Novara, e in numerose altre località, anche all’estero (Vienna,
Zurigo e Bruxelles soprattutto), molti autografati dai protagonisti, tutti i grandi
personaggi del volo più leggero dell’aria dell’epoca: Da Schio, Usuelli, Moris, Piccoli,
Frassinetti, Canovetti, Donner Flori, Mina, Forlanini, Dal Fabbro, Longhi, Minoletti,
Borsalino, Prato Previde, Vaccarino, Montezemolo, Cobianchi e altri ancora. Ricca la
rassegna degli eventi della Coppa Città di Verona. Un insieme di grande fascino che
comprende il “Santo Graal” dei collezionisti di cartoline. Tutti i pezzi sono ben
documentati e spesso sono accompagnati da ritagli di giornali dell’epoca con la cronaca
dell’evento. Insieme assolutamente fantastico e affascinante, gran parte proveniente dalla
collezione Taragni. Foto

Francesco De Pinedo - contd.
This item and those offered in lots 1084, 1085, 1094, 1098, 1099 & 1100 represent a unique assembly of route maps of the
famous and glorious flight Rome-Melbourne-Tokyo-Rome of 1925, completed by Francesco De Pinedo in 55,000 kms in his
biplane flying boat named “Gennariello”. The maps, with manuscript notations by the pilot, indicate the route followed,
coordinates, times, petrol comsumption or other interesting entries. This group comprises, according to our records, all route
maps which have been survived to date; these were kept by Francesco De Pinedo after this flight. One may guess the
circumstances and conditions under which this aviation pioneer had to deal with; his enthusiasm and heroism, but also his
worries and restlessness (we find, on the reverse of one of the maps in this lot, his following note: “I think we are losing some
oil drops”). As a matter of fact, unexpected technical problems could be also aspects of such a difficult flight; De Pinedo was
then forced to replace one wing and one engine, assisted by his engineer Ernesto Campanelli, who accompanied De Pinedo
in this flight. These items undoubtedly represent a unique and extraordinary firsthand testimony of one of the great
pioneering achievements in aviation history.

Eccezionale e straordinaria carta di navigazione originale relativa al raid di 55.000
chilometri del 1925 compiuto da De Pinedo e Campanelli sulla rotta Sesto Calende Bombay - Calcutta - Singapore - Perth - Melbourne - Sidney - Formosa - Shanghai Mokpo - Tokio e ritorno. Questa carta, relativa alla tratta KARACHI - BOMBAY MASULIPATAM - CALCUTTA del volo, riporta le annotazioni del pilota nel corso della
tratta con orari e tempi di volo, consumi ed altre interessanti annotazioni. Sul retro di un
allegato fotografico della carta del fiume Hugli, usato durante il volo, il pilota scrisse “Mi
pare che stiamo perdendo qualche goccia di olio” (durante il raid soffrono una lunga
serie d’incidenti e di avarie, che costringono ad alcune riparazioni e mettono in dubbio
l’esito dell’impresa): un’eccellente dimostrazione riguardante un problema tecnico. Le
carte, offerte anche in lotti successivi di questa vendita, sono una testimonianza
irripetibile di una delle più note imprese del periodo pionieristico dell’aviazione
italiana e mondiale. Rilegatura originale 14 x 25cm circa. Foto

1925, 1° giugno. Telegramma di due pagine con felicitazioni da Benito Mussolini a De
Pinedo, inviato durante il suo raid Roma-Melbourne-Tokyo-Roma, nel momento in cui
si trovava in Australia, quando la prodezza dell’aviatore raggiunge uno dei momenti più
alti della storia aeronautica italiana, che ebbe un grande riconoscimento mondiale. Datato
a Pot Hedland il 1° giugno 1925: “Il governo saluta orgoglioso e riconoscente l’eroico
tenacissimo aviatore cha ha silenziosamente conquistato una nuova fulgida vittoria dell’ala
italiana”. Indubbiamente, Mussolini capì l’importanza di questo successo. Piccolo strappo
in alto senza importanza. Uno dei due telegrammi noti indirizzati da Mussolini
all’aviatore durante il raid, che furono portati dal pilota con se durante i voli. Straordinario
testimone e grande rarità della memorabilia aeronautica italiana. Foto
Telegram sent by Benito Mussolini congratulating the Italian aviator Francesco De Pinedo
on his splendid and extraordinary achievement after flying from Rome to Australia. One of
only two telegrams recorded, sent to De Pinedo by Mussolini, during the flight RomeMelbourne-Tokyo-Rome, which were carried by him to Rome. This item represents an

Forgery: means a Lot constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship,
origin, age, period, culture or source where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue and which at the
date of the auction had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with the description in the catalogue. Accordingly, no
Lot shall be capable of being a Forgery by reason of any damage and/or restoration work of any kind;
Hammer Price: means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a Lot;

2 SPINK’S ROLE AS AGENT
2.1 All sales undertaken by us either at auction or privately are undertaken
either as agent on behalf of the Seller or from time to time, as principal if
we are the owner of the Lot. Please note that even if we are acting as agent
on behalf of the Seller rather than as principal, we may have a financial
interest in the Lot.
2.2 The contract for the sale of the Lot will be between you and the Seller.
3 BEFORE THE SALE
3.1 Examination of goods
You are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which you are
interested, before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request. We provide no guarantee to you other than in relation to
Forgeries, as set out in clause 5.10 of these Terms and Conditions.
3.2 Catalogue descriptions
3.2.1 Statements by us in the catalogue or condition report, or made orally
or in writing elsewhere, regarding the authorship, origin, date, age, size,
medium, attribution, genuineness, provenance, condition or estimated selling price of any Lot are merely statements of opinion, and are not to be
relied on as statements of definitive fact. Catalogue and web illustrations
are for guidance only, and should not be relied on either to determine the
tone or colour of any item. No lot shall be rejected on the grounds of inaccurate reproduction. No lot illustrated in the catalogue shall be rejected
on the grounds of cancellation, centring, margins, perforation or other
characteristics apparent from the illustration. Estimates of the selling price
should not be relied on as a statement that this price is either the price at
which the Lot will sell or its value for any other purpose.
3.2.2 Many items are of an age or nature which precludes their being in
perfect condition and some descriptions in the catalogue or given by way
of condition report make reference to damage and/or restoration. We provide this information for guidance only and the absence of such a reference
does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration nor does a
reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others.
3.2.3 Other than as set out in clause 5.10, and in the absence of fraud, neither the Seller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents, are responsible
for the correctness of any statement as to the authorship, origin, date, age,
attribution, genuineness or provenance of any Lot nor for any other errors
of description or for any faults or defects in any Lot. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgment as to such matters.
3.3 Your Responsibility
You are responsible for satisfying yourself as to the condition of the goods
and the matters referred to in the catalogue description.
3.4 Extensions – Stamps only
3.4.1 If you wish to obtain an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity
on any Lot (other than a mixed Lot or Lot containing undescribed stamps)
you must notify us in writing not less than forty-eight hours before the time
fixed for the commencement of the first session of the sale. If accepted by us,
such request shall have the same effect as notice of an intention to question the
genuineness or description of the Lot for the purposes of clause 5.10 (Refund
in the case of Forgery) of these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of
clause 5.10 (Refund in the case of Forgery) shall apply accordingly.
3.4.2 Notice of a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity must give the reason why such opinion is required and specify the
identity of your proposed expert which will be subject to agreement by
us. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to refuse a request for an expert
opinion or Certificate of Authenticity including (without limitation) where
the proposed expert is not known to us.
3.4.3 If we accept a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity we will submit the Lot to the Expert Committee. You acknowledge
and accept that the length of time taken by an Expert Committee to reach
an opinion will vary depending on the circumstances and in any event is
beyond our control.
3.4.4 We will not accept a request for an extension on account of condition. Any Lot described in the catalogue as having faults or defects may not
be returned even if an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity cites
other faults or defects not included in the catalogue description, other than
in the case of a Forgery.
3.4.5 Should Spink accept a request for an extension under the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph, the fact may be stated by the Auctioneer from
the rostrum prior to the sale of the Lot.
3.4.6 It should be noted that any stamp accompanied by a Certificate of
Authenticity is sold on the basis of that Certificate only and not on the basis
of any other description or warranty as to authenticity. No request for an
extension will be accepted on such a stamp and the return of such a stamp
will not be accepted.
3.4.7 If you receive any correspondence from the Expert Committee in
relation to the Lot, including but not limited to a Certificate of Authenticity, you must provide us with copies of such correspondence no later than
7 days after you receive such correspondence.
WWW.SPINK.COM
3.4.8 If the expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity demonstrate the
validity of the complaint, all the expenses for the appraisals will be paid by
us. If the complaint is invalid, you shall pay for all the appraiser expenses.
4 AT THE SALE
4.1 Refusal of admission
Our sales usually take place on our own premises or premises over which
we have control for the sale, and we have the right, exercisable at our
complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or attendance at
an auction.
4.2 Registration before bidding
You must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification
before making a bid at auction. Please be aware that we usually require
buyers to undergo a credit check.
If you have not bid successfully with Spink in the past, or you are registering
with us for the first time, we reserve the right to require a deposit of up to
50% of the amount you intend to spend. Such deposit will be deducted from
your invoice should you be successful. If you are unsuccessful at auction,
your deposit will be returned by the same means it was paid to Spink.
Some lots may be designated, prior to the auction, as “Premium Lots”,

4.3 Bidding as Principal
When making a bid (whether such bids are made in person or by way of telephone bids operated by Spink, commission or online or email bids), you will
be deemed to be acting as principal and will be accepting personal liability,
unless it has been agreed in writing, at the time of registration, that you are
acting as agent on behalf of a third party buyer acceptable to us.
4.4 Commission Bids
If you give us instructions to bid on your behalf, by using the form provided
in our catalogues or via our website, we shall use reasonable endeavours to
do so, provided these instructions are received not later than 24 hours before
the auction. If we receive commission bids on a particular Lot for identical
amounts, and at auction these bids are the highest bids for the Lot, it will be
sold to the person whose bid was received first. Commission bids are undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale, and the conduct
of the auction may be such that we are unable to bid as requested. Since this
is undertaken as a free service to prospective buyers on the terms stated, we
cannot accept liability for failure to make a commission bid. You should therefore always attend personally if you wish to be certain of bidding.
4.5 On-line Bidding
We offer internet services as a convenience to our clients. We will not be
responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet,
including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by (i) a loss of internet connection by either party for whatever reason; (ii) a breakdown or
problems with the online bidding software and/or (iii) a breakdown or
problems with your internet connection, computer or system. Execution of
on-line internet bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the auction and we do not accept liability for failing to
execute an online internet bid or for errors or omissions in connection with
this activity. Buyers who acquire lots on the-saleroom.com will have a fee of
3% on the hammer price added to their invoice for using this facility.
4.6 Telephone Bids
If you make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours before the sale,
we shall use reasonable endeavours to contact you to enable you to participate in bidding by telephone, but in no circumstances will we be liable to
either the Seller or you as a result of failure to do so.
4.7 Currency Converter
At some auctions, a currency converter will be operated, based on the one
month forward rates of exchange quoted to us by BSI SA or any other appropriate rate determined by us, at opening on the date of the auction. Bidding
will take place in a currency determined by us. The currency converter is not always reliable, and errors may occur beyond our control either in the accuracy of
the Lot number displayed on the converter, or the foreign currency equivalent
of bids made in the official currency of the auction. We shall not be liable to
you for any loss suffered as a result of you following the currency converter.
4.8 Video images
At some auctions there will be a video screen. Mistakes may occur in its
operation, and we cannot be liable to you regarding either the correspondence of the image to the Lot being sold or the quality of the image as a
reproduction of the original.
4.9 Bidding Increments
Bidding opens at the starting price (or below the low estimate), in absence of higher commission bids, and advances in the following order although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of
the auction. The normal bidding increments are:

PRIMA DELL’ASTA
3.1
Esame dei beni
Vi preghiamo di esaminare personalmente tutti i beni a cui è interessato, prima che
l’asta abbia luogo. Reports sullo stato del pezzo sono generalmente disponibili su
richiesta. Noi non forniamo alcuna garanzia se non in relazione a Falsi così come
stabilito all’articolo 5.10 di queste Condizioni generali di vendita.
3.2 Descrizioni del catalogo
3.2.1
Le affermazioni da noi riportate nel catalogo o nei nostri reports, o fatte
verbalmente o per iscritto in altri contesti, riguardanti l’autore, l’origine, la data, l’età,
dimensione, materiale, attribuzione, genuinità, provenienza, condizione o prezzo di
vendita stimato di ogni Lotto, sono meramente affermazioni di opinione sulle quali
non deve essere fatto affidamento come affermazioni derivanti da fatti certi e definitivi. Le illustrazioni del catalogo e sul web fungono solo da guida e su di esse non
si dovrebbe fare affidamento per determinare la tonalità od il colore di ogni Lotto.
Nessun Lotto può essere rifiutato per motivi di riproduzione imprecisa. Nessun Lotto
illustrato nel catalogo può essere rifiutato per motivi di annullo, centratura, margini,
perforazione o altre caratteristiche risultanti dall’illustrazione. Con riferimento alla
stima del prezzo di vendita, non si dovrebbe fare affidamento su di essa in quanto
affermazione che questo prezzo sarà quello a cui il Lotto sarà venduto o che questo
sia il suo effettivo valore per ogni altro scopo.
3.2.2
Molti pezzi sono di un’età o natura tali da pregiudicare che possano essere in perfette condizioni e alcune descrizioni nel catalogo o fornite attraverso i nostri
reports, indicano la presenza di danni e/o restauri. Noi forniamo queste informazioni
solo come indicazione e la loro assenza non implica che un pezzo sia esente da difetti
o restauri, nè l’indicazione di particolari difetti implica l’assenza di taluni altri.
3.2.3
A parte quanto previsto all’articolo 5.10, ed in assenza di frode, nè il
Venditore, nè noi, nè alcuno dei nostri impiegati od agenti sono responsabili della
correttezza di qualsiasi dichiarazione relativa all’autore, origine, data, età, attribuzione, genuinità o provenienza di ogni Lotto, nè per qualsiasi altro errore di descrizione
o per qualsiasi errore o difetto presente in qualsiasi Lotto. Ogni persona interessata è
tenuta a esercitare e fare affidamento sul proprio giudizio su tali questioni.
3.3 Vostra responsabilità
3.4 Extensions – solo per i francobolli
3.4.1
Se desiderate ottenere un parere peritale od un Certificato di Autenticità
di qualsiasi Lotto (a parte Lotti misti o Lotti contenenti francobolli non descritti),
dovete richiederlo per iscritto non più tardi di quarantotto ore prima dell’orario fissato per l’inizio della prima sessione d’asta. Se dai noi accettata, tale richiesta avrà lo
stesso effetto di formale notifica dell’intenzione di mettere in discussione la genuinità
o la descrizione del Lotto per gli scopi previsti dall’articolo 5.10 (Rimborso in caso
di Falso) delle presenti Condizioni generali di vendita e di conseguenza le previsioni
dell’articolo 5.10 troveranno applicazione.
3.4.2
La notifica di richiesta di un parere peritale o di un Certificato di Autenticità deve contenere il motivo di tale richiesta e specificare l’indicazione del perito
da Voi proposto che sarà soggetto al nostro accordo. Ci riserviamo il diritto, a nostra
discrezione, di rifiutare la richiesta di parere peritale o di Certificato di Autenticità, incluso (senza limitazione) il caso in cui l’esperto proposto non sia da noi conosciuto.
3.4.3
Se accettiamo la richiesta di parere peritale o di Certificato di Autenticità, sottoporremo il Lotto al Comitato di esperti. Voi riconoscete ed accettate che il
tempo necessario al Comitato di esperti per emettere un parere, varierà in dipendenza
delle specifiche circostanze ed in ogni caso sarà fuori dal nostro controllo.
3.4.4
Non accettiamo richieste di extension sulle condizioni del Lotto. Ogni
Lotto descritto nel catalogo come avente errori o difetti, non può essere ritornato
anche se un parere peritale od un Certificato di Autenticità indichi la presenza di altri
errori o difetti non inclusi nella descrizione del catalogo, a parte il caso di Falso.
3.4.5
Se Spink dovesse accettare la richiesta di extension sulla base delle precedenti previsioni di questo paragrafo, questo fatto potrà essere dichiarato dal Banditore
durante l’asta prima della vendita del Lotto.
3.4.6
Va considerato che ogni francobollo accompagnato da un Certificato di
Autenticità è venduto sulla base solamente di detto certificato e non sulla base di qualsiasi altra descrizione o garanzia relativa all’autenticità. Non saranno accettate richieste
di extension su tale francobollo ed il reso del medesimo non sarà accettato.
3.4.7 In caso riceviate qualsiasi comunicazione da parte del Comitato di esperti in relazione al Lotto, sia che riguardi o meno il Certificato di Autenticità, dovrete fornirci
copia entro 7 giorni dalla dalla loro ricezione.
3.4.8
Se il parere peritale o del Certificato di Autenticità dovessero dimostrare
la fondatezza della richiesta di extension, tutte le spese per ottenere i medesimi saranno a nostro carico. In caso contrario, saranno totalmente a carico vostro.

che esse ci pervengano non più tardi di 24 ore prima dell’asta. Se riceviamo offerte
su commissione su un particolare Lotto per ammontari identici ed in asta tali offerte
sono le più alte per quel Lotto, il medesimo sarà aggiudicato alla persona la cui offerta
è stata ricevuta per prima. Le offerte su commissione sono da noi prese in carico unitamente agli altri impegni che dobbiamo svolgere durante la vendita, e la conduzione
dell’asta può essere tale da non consentirci di fare le offerte come richiesto. Poichè
questo è un servizio che noi offriamo gratis a potenziali acquirenti secondo le clausole
stabilite, non possiamo accettare alcuna responsabilità per mancanze nell’esecuzione
di una offerta su commissione. Dovreste pertanto sempre partecipare personalmente
all’asta se desiderate avere certezza delle offerte fatte.

Lotto, di raggruppare due o più Lotti e, in caso di errore o controversia, di rimettere
nuovamente qualsiasi Lotto in offerta..
4.12 Offerte aggiudicate

Venditore.
4.5 Offerte via internet
Un’ulteriore comodità che offriamo ai nostri clienti è quella di poter fare offerte
attraverso internet. Noi non saremo responsabili per errori o mancanze nell’esecuzione di offerte fatte attraverso internet, incluso, senza limitazioni, errori o mancanze
causate da (i) interruzioni della connessione internet da qualsivoglia delle parti per
qualsivoglia ragione; (ii) un malfunzionamento o problemi del software per fare le offerte online e/o (iii) malfunzionamento o problemi della vostra connessione internet,
computer o sistema operativo L’esecuzione di offerte attraverso internet è un servizio
che noi offriamo gratis e che prendiamo in carico unitamente agli altri impegni da noi
svolti durante la vendita e non accettiamo alcuna responsabilità per la mancata esecuzione delle offerte online o per errori o omissioni connesse a questa attività. In caso
di acquisto attraverso la piattaforma the-saleroom.com, verrà addebitata in fattura una
commissione aggiuntiva del 3% del prezzo di aggiudicazione.
4.13 Accordi post vendita
Se Voi raggiungete accordi privati per la vendita di qualsiasi Lotto con il Venditore
entro 60 giorni dalla data dell’asta, noi, come agenti esclusivi del Venditore, ci riserviamo il diritto di addebitarvi la relativa Commissione di acquisto in accordo con le

secondo i termini dell’accordo con il Venditore medesimo.

vostri confronti o del Venditore nel caso non si riesca per qualsiasi ragione a consentirvi di offrire via telefono.

4.7 Convertitore di valuta
5.1 Commissione di acquisto ed altre spese
In aggiunta al prezzo di aggiudicazione, Voi dovrete pagarci la Commissione di acquisto stabilita nella misura del 20% del prezzo di aggiudicazione di ogni lotto. In caso
di acquisto attraverso la piattaforma the-saleroom.com, verrà addebitata in fattura una
commissione aggiuntiva del 3% del prezzo di aggiudicazione. Una ulteriore commissione verrà addebitata in caso di pagamento con carta di credito.
In alcune aste sarà operativo un convertitore di valute basato sui tassi di cambio a noi
quotati da BSI Sa o su qualsiasi altro appropriato tasso da noi determinato all’apertura
della giornata di svolgimento dell’asta. Le offerte avverrano nella valuta da noi stabilita. Il convertitore di valuta può non essere sempre affidabile ed errori possono accadere fuori dal nostro controllo sia con riguardo alla correttezza del numero di Lotto

5.2 Imposta sul valore aggiunto (IVA)

esso il prezzo di aggiudicazione maggiorato della commissione di cui al punto 5.1 e
di eventuali spese di assicurazione e trasporto da addebitare in caso di spedizione del
materiale acquistato. Nel caso l’acquirente intenda ritirare la merce e provvedere in
proprio alla pratica doganale di esportazione, l’Iva sarà addebitata e successivamente
rimborsata all’acquirente dietro presentazione della documentazione legale di avvenuta esportazione.
5.3 Pagamento

indicato nella causale del bonifico.

indirizzo di Via Balestra 7, 6900 Lugano Switzerland. Vi preghiamo di assicurarvi che
le spese di emissione e di incasso dell’assegno bancario o circolare siano a vostro carico
e che il tagliando presente in fondo alla fattura sia inserito insieme al pagamento.
(iii) Carta di credito Visa, Mastercard o American Express. Un addebito del 3.00%

o rimedi:
5.8.1.1
addebitare interessi al tasso composto dell’1% al mese, calcolati su base

vostri confronti per qualsiasi altra operazione, fino a concorrenza dell’ammontare da
Voi non pagato;
5.8.1.3
trattenere tutti o alcuni Lotti di vostra proprietà o altri beni in possesso
del gruppo Spink fino al pagamento da parte vostra di tutte le somme dovute a noi o
al gruppo Spink, anche se la somma non pagata non riguarda quei Lotti o quei beni.
Trascorsi quattordici giorni dalla nostra comunicazione di esistenza di una somma
non pagata, il gruppo Spink avrà il diritto di organizzare la vendita di tali Lotti o beni.
Noi compenseremo i ricavi rivenienti da detta vendita fino a concorrenza della somma
dovuta al gruppo Spink e vi pagheremo l’eventuale saldo;
5.8.1.4
nel caso in cui più somme siano da voi dovute al gruppo Spink con riferimento ad operazioni diverse, compensare qualsiasi ammontare pagato con qualsiasi
ammontare da voi dovuto sia o meno riferito direttamente ad una specifica operazione;
5.8.1.5
rifiutare in qualsiasi asta futura qualsiasi offerta fatta da Voi o per vostro
conto, od ottenere un deposito da parte vostra prima di accettare qualsiasi offerta.

a che gli ammontari a noi dovuti, o dovuti al gruppo Spink, siano stati integralmente
pagati. Gli acquirenti saranno tenuti a pagare i loro Lotti nel momento in cui desiderano entrare in possesso dei medesimi, pagamento che dovrà avvenire entro 7 giorni
dalla data della vendita, salvo accordi precedenti presi con Spink. Senza previo accordo, i Lotti non saranno rilasciati fino a quando i fondi non saranno effettivamente resi
disponibili in relazione a pagamenti effettuati tramite assegno.
5.4.2
In assenza di nostra diversa comunicazione, i pezzi da noi tenuti saranno
assicurati in accordo con la nostra polizza, che è disponibile per visione presso i nostri
uffici, per un periodo di sette giorni dalla data dell’asta o fino al momento del ritiro se
fosse precedente. Dopo sette giorni o dal momento del ritiro, se precedente, il Lotto
sarà interamente a vostro rischio.
5.4.3
La nostra polizza non assicurerà e non siamo in grado di accettare alcuna
responsabilità per danni causati da tarli, cambiamenti atmosferici o atti di terrorismo.
5.5 Comunicazioni
Non siamo in grado di comunicare l’avvenuta aggiudicazione agli aggiudicatari dei
Lotti. Le fatture saranno inviate via email dopo l’asta e non accettiamo responsabilità
per comunicazioni inerenti alle vostre offerte. Vi preghiamo di contattarci telefonicamente o di persona appena dopo l’asta per conoscere il risultato delle vostre offerte al
fine di evitare addebiti per pagamenti in ritardo.

Faremo tutto quanto ragionevolmente possibile per avere cura del Lotto
acquistato nel momento dell’imballo e della movimentazione ma ricordate che dopo
sette giorni dall’asta o, dalla data del ritiro se precedente, il Lotto è interamente a vostro rischio. In caso di spedizione, i nostri addebiti per le spese postali ed assicurative
sono indicati alla fine del catalogo.
5.6.2
È responsabilità dell’acquirente conoscere qualsiasi dazio/tassa all’importazione che potrebbero essere richiesti al momento dell’importazione nel paese di destinazione. Spink non accetterà il reso di qualsiasi collo per evitare il pagamento di tale
dazio/tassa. È inoltre onere dell’acquirente conoscere qualsiasi restrizione doganale
all’importazione che proibisca l’importazione di certi articoli da collezione. Spink non
accetterà il reso di Lotti per questo motivo. Spink non accetterà alcuna responsabilità
per Lotti sequestrati o distrutti dalla Dogana.
5.7 Confezionatori e spedizionieri raccomandati
Se richiesto, il nostro ufficio spedizioni può organizzare la spedizione come suo agente. Sebbene noi siamo in grado di suggerire spedizionieri, se specificamente richiesto, i
nostri suggerimenti sono forniti sulla base della nostra esperienza generale con essi nel
passato e non siamo responsabili nei confronti di alcuno al quale abbiamo fatto una
raccomandazione per atti od omissioni delle controparti in questione.
5.8.2.2
organizzare una rivendita del Lotto, in asta o a trattativa privata, e se il
prezzo realizzato fosse inferiore a quello a suo tempo ottenuto, richiedere il pagamento del saldo da parte vostra unitamente a tutti i ragionevoli costi compreso una commissione del Venditore del 20%, spese varie, rimborso danni, spese legali, commissioni
e premi di qualsiasi natura connessi con entrambe le vendite o altrimenti occorsi in

vendita, sia che sia stato effettuato o meno il pagamento, Voi sarete tenuti al pagamento di un costo di magazzinaggio giornaliero pari a Chf 2.- per articolo oltre a qualsiasi
altro costo di movimentazione ove applicabile. Non sarete autorizzati a ritirare il Lotto fino a che tutti gli addebiti in sospeso siano stati onorati unitamente al pagamento
di tutte le altre somme a noi dovute.

Se Voi vi rendete inadempienti nel pagamento di un Lotto secondo quanto stabilito
dalle presenti Condizioni di vendita:
5.9.1 ci riserviamo il diritto di inibirla dal poter fare offerte nelle nostre future aste
indipendentemente dal fatto che precedenti inadempienze siano state sanate; e
5.9.2 Voi acconsentite che noi comunichiamo i dettagli di tali inadempienze ad altre
case d’asta e piattaforme di aste online, incluso il Vostro nome, indirizzo, natura e
data dell’inadempienza. Le case d’asta o le piattaforme di aste online che ricevono
queste informazioni, possono fare affidamento sulle medesime per decidere se entrare
in relazione con Voi.
5.10 Rimborso in caso di Falso
5.10.1
Una vendita sarà cancellata e la somma pagata vi verrà rimborsata se un
Lotto (a parte i Lotti misti non descritti nel catalogo), da noi venduto venga provato
essere un Falso. Tuttavia non saremo obbligati a rimborsare alcuna somma se (a) la
descrizione del catalogo o la comunicazione fatta in sala nel giorno dell’asta corrispondeva all’opinione generalmente accettata da studiosi o esperti in quel momento o
correttamente indicava che c’era un conflitto di opinioni, o (b) può essere dimostrato
che il Lotto è un Falso solo attraverso, sia un procedimento scientifico non generalmente accettato per l’uso fino a dopo la pubblicazione del catalogo, sia attraverso un
procedimento che alla data dell’asta fosse irragionevolmente costoso o impraticabile
o che potesse causare danno al Lotto. Inoltre dovreste tenere in considerazione che il
rimborso può essere ottenuto solo se sono rispettate le seguenti condizioni:
WWW.SPINK.COM
5.10.1.1
Voi dovete comunicarci per iscritto entro sette giorni dal ricevimento del
Lotto/i che secondo Voi il Lotto in questione è un falso;
5.10.1.2
Voi dovete dunque ritornarci l’articolo entro quattordici giorni dal ricevimento del Lotto/I nelle stesse condizioni esistenti alla data dell’asta; e
5.10.1.3
non appena ritornato il Lotto, Voi dovete produrci una prova soddisfacente che il Lotto è un Falso e che Voi siete in grado di trasferirci il pieno diritto sul
lotto stesso, libero da qualsiasi pretesa di terze parti.
5.10.1.4 Voi dovrete fornirci tutte le prove ottenute che il Lotto è un Falso entro 7
giorni dalla loro ricezione.

consegnata nel primo giorno lavorativo seguente all’esecuzione.

N.B: - In the case of shipping lots abroad, the Swiss VAT will not be charged. VAT and other charges are subject to the
regulation of each country and are on the responsibility of the buyer.
In caso di spedizione di merce all’estero l’IVA svizzera non è addebitata. L’IVA e gli eventuali dazi a cui la merce sarà sottoposta
nel paese in cui viene esportata sono invece a totale carico dell’acquirente.
- The above mentioned shipping charges are valid only up to 500 gr. Above 500 gr., for bulky parcels charges will be calculated individually.
In the absence of other instructions of the customer, we will ship the lots by postal mail within Switzerland and abroad with Fedex.
I costi di spedizione sopraindicati sono applicati per un peso fino a 500 gr. Oltre i 500 gr. e per spedizioni voluminose verranno presi
accordi particolari. In assenza di diverse istruzioni del cliente, spediremo via Posta all’interno della Svizzera e tramite Fedex all’estero.
- Insurance charges are calculated as a percentage of the hammer price including charges and commissions.
Le spese assicurative sono calcolate in percentuale sul prezzo di aggiudicazione commissioni e spese incluse.
Collecting lots at the sale
Purchasers who decide to collect their lots at Spink Switzerland’s office have to pay swiss VAT. VAT will be refunded by sending us the
export document cancelled by the Swiss customs.
Ritiro della merce da parte del cliente
In caso di ritiro della merce da parte del cliente in asta o presso i nostri uffici, l’IVA svizzera sarà addebitata in fattura e successivamente
rimborsata al ricevimento del documento di esportazione timbrato dalla dogana svizzera.

servizio comporta i seguenti costi di spedizione ed assicurazione:
