Dear Friends and Fellow Collectors,
I am very pleased to announce our Public Auction #79, which features outstanding items and lots from the Holy Land, World War I in Palestine, Mandate stamps and covers, 1948 Covers, Israel stamps and covers, Judaica labels and covers and Judaica postcards. I am particularly excited about our large sections of World War II, Holocaust, and Arab related items. Many of the Judaica labels and Jewish National Fund items come from the outstanding collection of Herb Simon of California. More of his outstanding collection will be offered for sale in our November, 2010 auction.
Public Auction #79 will take place during the annual NOJEX STAMP SHOW, on Sunday,
May 30, 2010 at 1:30pm. The show runs from May 28-30 at the Meadowlands Crowne Plaza hotel, Secaucus, New Jersey.
You will have a chance to view the lots in London (Philatex Extra), England, May 5-6 (Wednesday and Thursday), Tel Aviv, Israel, May 20-21 (Thursday & Friday) and during NOJEX Stamp Show, May 28-30 at our booth at the show.
All mail, phone and fax bids must be in by 6pm, Pacific Time, on Saturday, May 29, 2010.
E-mail bids will be accepted until 8am (Eastern Time) on the morning of the auction, Sunday, May 30. As this is a public auction, we would be more than happy to have you bid on the floor during the sale, or, if you so wish, please contact one of the auction agents, listed on this page, to represent you at the sale.
All lots are guaranteed, and to the best of our knowledge, are described correctly. We have used as reference catalogues listed in the descriptions. Many of the auction items are one of only a few known, and this will be one your few chances to obtain them for your collection or exhibit.
Viewing of all lots in color is available at our website www.Houseofzion.com.
I would personally like to thank Russ Samuels and Rick Swan for all their help putting this catalogue together.
If we can be of any help please don't hesitate contacting us.
Good luck,
sincerely yours,
Edward G. Rosen
