The Richard J. Rinkoff Collection of British Empire Postage Stamps

Friday, July 24th at 2:00 p.m. (Lots 2001-2538)

Spink Shreves Galleries is proud to announce we have been honored, once again, to handle the unreserved auction sale of a marvelous collection of British Empire postage stamps. The exceptional Richard J. Rinkoff Collection will be sold in our New York City auction galleries on Friday, July 24, 2009.

The Rinkoff Collection is a wonderfully comprehensive collection of the entire Empire, with special emphasis on the stamps from British Africa, British America and Malayan States - as well as a strong

representation from the Pacific Islands. Some of the more challenging areas he focused on include the Uganda Missionary stamps, as well as Japanese Occupation issues of Malaya. Completion was not Mr. Rinkoff's goal, but rather he tried to acquire as many elusive and desirable stamps he could find - in the finest possible condition - with the prerequisite that the especially elusive items be accompanied by certificates of authenticity.

Special London Viewing - July 13-14, 2009
By special arrangement, Spink Shreves will be offering viewing of selected lots at our London Gallery. Located at 69 Southampton Row, in Bloomsbury, London. The times for viewing will be from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The entire sale, complete with detailed descriptions and high-resolution color images, has now been posted to our website.
