The Hutson collection is probably the last of the old timeresearch study collections to come on the market, having beenformed between the 1930s and 1960s.

The collection was originally formed by Guybon John Hutson(1891-1963) who before the First World War made apromising start in a banking career. In 1915 he joined theGordon Highlanders and in the following year transferred tothe newly formed Machine Gun Corps. He had been in actiononly six weeks on the Somme when at Beaumont Havel he wasshot through the head, losing one eye and most of the sight ofthe other.

Despite this handicap, he discovered how to use the eyes ofothers and between the Wars he formed specialised collectionsof the pictorial issues of New Zealand, Papua and Tasmania.However, his main philatelic interest was always the stamps ofNew South Wales, which appealed to him because of theirinfinite variation and uninvestigated problems, many of whichhe solved. In 1960 this truly remarkable collection won one ofthe few gold medals awarded at the London InternationalStamp Exhibition and in 1962, the Royal Philatelic Society, ofwhich he had been a fellow for many years, published his book,the most authoritative on the subject. In 1961 he received theTilleard Medal for his display of 2d. Sydney Views.

Following his death in 1963, the collection passed to his sonThomas who maintained the collection until he passed awaylast year.

1838 SYDNEY TWO PENNY POST EMBOSSED STAMPThe New South Wales postmaster, James Raymond, introduced the world’s first prepaid postage stamp in November 1838.

The colourless embossing was applied with a die showing the Royal Arms, engraved by W. Wilson. The stationery was sold for11⁄2d. each or 1⁄3d. per dozen and were valid within the Sydney Local Post, for which the normal rate was 2d.

The embossed stamp did not prove popular, despite a price reduction in 1841, but remained in use until 1851. Examples are very rare.

Note: This proof lacks the finished frames which surround “NEW” and “WALES” on the finishedplate. It was recorded in the earliest days of philately and apparently a sheet of 50 existed,although the number now known is considerably less. In 1939 a block of 11 was found fromwhich two singles were cut, the block of nine now being in the Vickery collection. There areperhaps a dozen single examples known, of which at least three are institutionalised.

Certificate (1961) for each which states that “the overprint appears to be genuinebut this is not an issued stamp and its status is doubtful”. Photo £500-600

Note: The 5/- and £1 overprinted fiscal stamps became obsolete in 1888-89, and as the TypeII “NSW” watermark was not introduced until 1895 the above two stamps should notnormally exist. They were printed in July 1895 for the issue of the cancelled “OS” but perf. 11,and in deeper colours than those of 1885. They therefore cannot be reprints which escaped boththe “OS” and the cancellation.

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 toVAT–registered businesses, the VAT included within the Buyers’Premium is not recoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day,we will issue invoices that show VAT separately on both the HammerPrice and the Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registeredbusinesses to recover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to thenormal rules for 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.
