THE BRIAN ASCROFT COLLECTION OF BRITISH BANKNOTES

FOREWORD

I was born at University College Hospital in London’sGower Street in 1946 and have lived in London all mylife, but for a 5 year stay in Southend-on-Sea.

I’m afraid (but secretly pleased!) that I have collectingin my blood and I just can’t help myself! Like so manyother collectors – I know – my lovely wife is notinterested in collecting at all, but does a wonderful jobof looking after me. We have raised our two lovelygirls who are both happily married and have given usfour wonderful granddaughters who fortunately, donot live far away from us so we get to see themregularly.

From the age of six I started collecting things such asstamps and matchbox tops etc. The only holidays Ihad as a child was camping with the Cubs and Scoutsall over the country. I collected the pennants (clothtriangular flags) from these trips (which of course, Istill have). I also collected foreign coins which myfather used to give me of an evening after sorting hischange out after a hard day’s work as a LondonMusher (a cab driver who owned his own BlackLondon Taxi). Although we had no money, we alwayshad shoes on our feet and we were very happy. One day my father gave me an old tobacco tin full of coinsthat he had put to one side. They were all English coins such as Half Crowns, Two Bobs, Shillings andSixpences etc. and that is what got me started collecting English coins.

As the years went by I started working as an apprentice cabinet maker. There was only the two of us – myboss and I, but I got lots of experience. (As luck would have it, there was a little record shop near theworkshop – so this meant I could start collecting 45rpm records as well! I used to buy 2 or 3 every weekon the way home from work.) We would be making furniture for people in Golders Green and thesurrounding areas and also making joinery such as staircases and window frames for the local builders. Astime went by I became very skilled. When I was 20 I started my own carpentry and building company.When I was 26 I priced and won a large job and all of a sudden I had about 30 tradesmen working for me– I was the governor and the youngest person on site! I worked hard and then got a contract to convertthe big old ABC Cinemas all over the country into 3 and 4 cinemas. This I did for about 15 years or so,with the most famous one being the Empire Leicester Square.

During this time I used to go to Spink’s who were then in King Street, St. James’s and buy at least 2Sovereigns a week. I used to go to auctions and other companies such as Stanley Gibbons in the Strandand buy coins. It was at one of these auctions – Christies – that I saw a £1 million Treasury Note sell forthe first time…for about £24,000! It was about 35 years ago that I was in Stanley Gibbons looking at aGothic Crown for my coin collection when I noticed for sale a pair of £5 notes with consecutive serialnumbers but with different Cashiers’ signatures. I bought those notes and from then on I have beenhooked on collecting British Banknotes.

I sincerely hope that whoever buys any of my Notes will get as much pleasure from them as I’ve had.

THE ALASDAIR MACDONALD COLLECTION OF SCOTTISH BANKNOTES

FOREWORDHow I became a Note CollectorLike many things in my life I became involved in Note collecting by accident ratherthan by design.

In 1952 I entered the service of the Bank of Scotland at their branch in Troon,Ayrshier as an Apprentice straight from school. It was a small office with a Manager,a teller and myself and as a result one had to be versatile. The apprenticeship wasfor three years – all at the branch – by which time I had gained a good all-roundknowledge of what branch banking entailed. It was a good grounding.

The largest customer was the local Co-operative Society which paid in daily around£1,200, the bulk of which was in single notes. To avoid a hold-up in the service atthe counter the practice was for the teller to count the large notes in the pay-in butto merely “score” the bundles of single notes which were then passed to theApprentice to sort and make up into bundles for each bank and balance. One dayamongst the notes, the note listed in this catalogue as Lot 368 turned up and Iasked the teller what this was. He did not know but the Manager said it was “an oldTreasury Note” and would have to be sent off to London “for Collection”. I shall not go into details of what all thatentailed but I asked the Manager if he would object if I just bought it as a curio. He readily agreed. These were thedays when the banks held local exchanges of notes thrice weekly and for security the Apprentices accompanied thetellers and assisted with the counting and balancing. I took along my acquisition to show the others there and stillrecall that it was only the older tellers who recognized the note for what it was.

There matters remained until about 6 moths later when the Apprentice at the Clydesdale came round and told metheir previous teller (who by that time had transferred to Penicuik branch) had written him, including the phrase, “tellAlasdair that 200 old notes have come in”. I immediately wrote him and sent him a cheque for £1.-.9d and askedhim to send me a Bank of Scotland one. He did but sent me one for each bank and said he had changed my chequefor £6.-.9d!! These were Square notes which I had never seen before. Neither had the teller but the Manager showedlittle interest saying he remembered seeing these! (The notes were all dated around 1920 so it was hardly surprisingI suppose). But I had another problem. Fortunately the letter and the notes arrived before the cheque and that nightI went home and showed them to my parents. But I only had about £3 in my account and the bank specificallyforbade any overdrafts on Staff Accounts without the prior approval of Head Office. So I knew I had to “turn in”three of these note the next morning before my cheque came through. Fortunately my father agreed to lend me themoney and so the germ of the collection was saved.

After that I collected haphazardly but by 1963 when we got married I had about 40 notes (all £1) and indeed mywife argued strongly that the notes should be turned in to help set up home. But I could not bear to part with thesecurios – which is what they were – as the hobby had still to be established. From time to time the opportunity to pickup an unusual specimen would turn up but it was not until the early 1970s when I met James Douglas who hadarranged the display of the Note Collection for the Centenary of the Institute of Bankers in Scotland and thereafterbecame the “unofficial” Archivist of the Bank of Scotland that I met another collector. And it was he who gave mycollection coherence whereas before it had been haphazard. He described the hobby as akin to stamp collecting(which I had done as a boy but gave up because they started to print too many new issues) with different sets of notes,signature varieties etc. He was about to publish his trailblazing book “Scottish Banknotes” and maintained it wouldestablish the hobby properly – which it did. He also took the view that a number of notes had been secreted awayduring the War and as that generation passed away these notes would emerge and be destroyed. Once that reservoirof material disappeared it would be gone for ever. He was right again. My problem was as a young man with agrowing family my ability to collect was always financially constrained – but is that not always the case for any seriouscollector!

And so as I write these lines the best part of 60 years after my first acquisition, I look back on a unique hobby whichhas absorbed many happy hours. I have learned much, met many interesting people and admired these trulymagnificent examples of the engraver’s art. Surely that is a fitting testimonial.

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.
