Dear Clients and Friends,
After the hugely successful first eight sales in the series from the Chartwell collection where numerous new recordprices have been achieved, it is with great pleasure that we present to you today the final volume in the series VolumeNine, Line-Engraved Essays, Proofs, Stamps and Covers Part IV. At Spink we continually receive collections that leavea lasting impression on all of us. The Chartwell Collection is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the biggest “wow”moments we have ever experienced here at Southampton Row. When the collection arrived in London it was amazingto watch as our specialists turned the pages of what may be one of the finest philatelic collections of our time. Eightyfour albums were opened, examined and taken in and it was wonderful to see the faces of the Spink team as treasureafter treasure was revealed. While we were of course pleased to have the opportunity to catalogue such prestigiousmaterial, our thoughts immediately turned to the wonderful collections which would absorb these philatelic gems.The vast majority of the Chartwell Collection is fresh to the marketplace with many items never before seen at auction.In fact, it contains items many of you have waited years to see for sale in an auction catalogue. In this catalogue, wehave many fascinating essays, proofs and some great rarities. The issued stamps include a superb range of varieties andrarities, but the main strength in this part of the collection lies in the Essays and proofs, with many proofs andImprimaturs unique in private hands. The rarities in these sales have most certainly found great homes in existingcollections, however we expect these beautiful items will also attract some newcomers to the booming Great Britainmarketplace. We are at your disposal should you wish to discuss any aspect of The Chartwell Collection or perhapsquestions in starting to build your own philatelic collection. Enjoy reading through the catalogue and see you in theauction room!
Kindest regards,
Olivier Stocker Timothy Hirsch Guy [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

THE CHARTWELL COLLECTION - GREAT BRITAIN LINE-ENGRAVED, PART IV
The Chartwell Collection was formed by one man with a greatpassion for collecting, Sir Humphrey Cripps. Sir Humphrey, thecustodian of the collection, was both a great English businessmanand philanthropist, but also an enthusiastic philatelist.
Educated a Northampton Town and County Grammar School, itwas during this period that Sir Humphrey first displayed a passionfor collecting. After his death, his children found a shoebox in theback of his wardrobe. Upon opening the lid they discoveredthousands of train tickets bundled and carefully placed in the box.Sir Humphrey had retained every train ticket from his time at schooland kept them hidden away in perfect chronological order. Thesewere memories of his past and a clear indicator of the true collectorhe would become.
After graduating, Sir Humphrey continued his education at StJohn’s College, Cambridge, where he read Natural Sciences. Oncompletion of his education, he joined the family firm, PianoforteSupplies Limited. Sir Humphrey’s personal drive would see him riseto Managing Director of his family’s company in 1960 andChairman in 1979.
Along the way, Sir Humphrey also picked up several other passions. First and foremost, he was a charitable man and at every turn in hisbusiness progression he would channel funds regularly into thefamily charitable foundation. The Cripps Foundation wasestablished in 1956 by the Cripps family and has made huge gifts touniversities, colleges, schools, churches, hospitals and museums.Many Cambridge Colleges have benefitted from this generosity, aswell as the Fitzwilliam Museum. Residential Courts at St John’sCollege, Magdalene College, Selwyn College, Queen’s College and the University of Nottingham are named afterthe Cripps family. His former school also benefitted. The construction of many facilities were made possible throughits generous donations. Sir Humphrey was knighted in 1989, having been High Sheriff of Northamptonshire in 1987and then Deputy Lieutenant of the County.
Sir Humphrey began collecting stamps in the 1950’s and soon became an insatiable collector focussing firstly on allaspects of Great Britain philately and secondly selected stamps of certain countries of the British Empire. SirHumphrey travelled frequently on business and his interest in stamps went with him. For example, Sir Humphreyregularly visited Bermuda, hence the three Perots and other Bermuda rarities in the collection.
The Great Britain collection, housed in over 80 volumes covers all reigns and all aspects of this fascinating area ofphilately replete with wonderful essays, proofs, rare stamps and covers throughout. It is hard to believe that thiscollection was all put together by just one dedicated collector.
Spink are proud and indeed honoured to have been chosen to sell through auction the extraordinary ChartwellCollection.

Value Added Tax (VAT)
Charging of (VAT) at AuctionThe information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends toaccount for VAT.
i. Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme1. Where possible, we will offer Lots for sale under the Auctioneers’
Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of anysymbol next to the Lot number in the catalogue and will not besubject to VAT on the Hammer Price.
2. Where Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme to VAT–registered businesses, the VAT included within the Buyers’ Premiumis not recoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day, we willissue invoices that show VAT separately on both the Hammer Priceand the Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registered businessesto recover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to the normal rulesfor recovering input tax.
ii. Zero-Rated LotsLimited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for VAT inthe United Kingdom. Such Lots are offered under the Auctioneers’ MarginScheme. In these circumstances no VAT element will be included withinthe Buyer’s Premium.
iii. Daggered LotsLots which are Daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 20%on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.
iv. Starred and Omega LotsLots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% onthe Hammer Price and 20% on the Buyer’s Premium which is shown asinclusive of VAT. Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω) are subject toVAT at 20% on the Hammer Price and on the Buyer’s Premium. Such Lotsbear VAT because the Lot is liable for VAT at this rate on importation intothe EU.
v. Investment Gold LotsLots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the HammerPrice and are subject to VAT at 20% on the Buyer’s Premium. A refund ofVAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proofof business as a collectibles dealer.
vi. Imported LotsLots which are marked (x) and Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω)have VAT charged on the Hammer Price and Buyers’ Premium becausethey have been imported into the United Kingdom from outside the EU.In these cases we have used a temporary importation procedure, which ineffect means that the point of importation is deferred until the Lot has beensold. At this point the Buyer is treated as the importer and is liable to paythe import VAT due. We will collect the VAT from you and pay it to HMCustoms and Excise on your behalf.
