H.R. Harmer, Inc. - The "Argent" Collection of 1875-1901 Mint United States Stamps - October 20, 2018
The “Argent” Collection of 1875-1901 Mint United States Stamps is limited to only the United States stamp issues of the late 19th century. The owner sought to collect each major listing (and several minor varieties) in as high a quality as possible. The centering, the color, the perforations all had to be top-notch for a stamp to make its way into this remarkable collection. With less than two dozen examples known the Scott 205C is certainly the highlight here, although a unique Scott 197 10c Special Printing with double transfer at the top and bottom should also appeal to those who require the rarest of the rare.

H.R. Harmer, Inc. - The Bert Boonstra Collection of the 1901 Pan-American Exposition - October 26, 2018
The Bert Boonstra Collection of the 1901 Pan-American Exposition is a love-letter to the world’s fair that has captured the imagination of so many in the century-plus since it took place. With an emphasis on exposition cancels, picture postcards, and foreign destinations, the collection abounds with material that is not only scarce but also visually stunning. Amongst the foreign destinations are such far-off places as Gibraltar, Bolivia, and Tunisia. Several cancels being offered are amongst the scarcest recognized by Bomar. But, regardless of rarity, this catalogue is simply a joy to peruse for its eye-appeal. Mr. Boonstra attempted to not just tell the story of the Pan-American Exposition, but how the events of the fair shaped American history for decades to come.
