Terms and Conditions of Sale
This is a public auction and mail-bid sale held by SPINK, who are licensed and bonded auctioneers.
SPINK may not withdraw any lot after a call for bids has been made with respect to that lot, however, the
consignor of the property included in the lot (or any other lot) may bid on and purchase the lot for his/her own
account. If he/she does so, he/she must pay both the seller’s commission and buyer’s premium.

The placing of a bid constitutes full acceptance of these
Terms and Conditions of Sale by the bidder.
The highest bidder acknowledged by SPINK shall be the
buyer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, SPINK
may, at its sole discretion, immediately put the lot up for sale
again. SPINK’S decision shall be final and binding upon all
bidders. A buyer’s premium equal to 20% of the successful
bid price of each lot up to and including $2,000.00 and 15%
of the excess bid price will be added to each invoice and is
payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price.
All bids are to be per lot as numbered in this catalog. SPINK
reserves the right to group two or more lots together and to
withdraw, prior to call for bids, any lot(s) from the sale. Bids
will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only, and SPINK
reserves the right to reject any bid or advance the bidding at
its discretion.
SPINK may not withdraw any lot after a call for bids has been
made with respect to that lot, however, the consignor of the
property included in the lot (or any other lot) may bid on
and purchase the lot for his/her own account. If he/she does
so, he/she must pay both the seller’s commission and buyer’s
premium.
SPINK may have made advances and loans available to
certain consignors and bidders in the sale. SPINK reserves
the right to bid on any lot in the sale. Additionally, SPINK
may or may not have financial interest in any of the lot(s) in
the sale.
All sales are strictly for cash, check and bank/wire transfer in
United States dollars; However, SPINK will only accept cash
payments under $10,000.00. SPINK offers clients the option
of paying by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, and American
Express only) in United States Dollars for a convenience
charge of two percent (2%) for Visa and MasterCard and four
percent (4%) for American Express, up to a total of
$30,000.00. Credit card payments will only be accepted if (a)
the purchase is made by the card holder, (b) any purchased
items to be shipped are shipped to the cardholder’s verified
billing address, (c) floor bidders present their credit cards and
(d) all returns are governed by the terms and conditions of
the sale. Payment is due and payable immediately upon
receipt of the auction invoice or, if payment is to be made at
the auction site, simultaneously with receipt of the purchased
items. SPINK reserves the right to void a sale if payment in
full of the invoice is not received by SPINK within fifteen
(15) days of the date of invoice. A late charge in the amount
of the lesser of 18% per annum and the maximum lawful rate
will be charged on the invoice total if payment is not received
within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice. All lots are
subject to applicable state and local taxes, unless appropriate
resale certificates are on file with SPINK.
Shipping, handling and administration charges will be added
to invoices for lots delivered by mail. All lots will be shipped
via U.S. Express Mail to Post Office boxes, via Federal
Express to street addresses, and FedEx ground for bulky large

lots (in the U.S. only). Purchases shipped via FedEx will not
be covered by SPINK insurance in the event that the buyer
has placed a “signature release” on file with FedEx. Buyer
will be responsible for total purchase price in the event of
loss. SPINK cannot be and is not responsible for the loss of
any merchandise shipped outside the United States and
therefore insurance on any items to be shipped outside the
United States is solely the responsibility of the buyer. It is also
the responsibility of the buyer to provide adequate insurance
coverage for the items once they are in his/her possession.
Risk of loss shall be borne by the buyer following shipment
of the items and SPINK assumes no liability for merchandise
lost, stolen or damaged while in the possession of a party to
whom merchandise has been shipped. For international shipments, all duties/taxes/fees are the sole responsibility of the
buyer.
In the event a successful bidder fails to pay the charges due,
SPINK reserves the right to resell the merchandise and the
buyer agrees to pay for the reasonable cost of such a sale
including a 10% seller’s commission, and also to pay any
difference between the resale price and the winning price of
his/her previously successful bid.
SPINK reserves the right to require payment in full before
delivery of the merchandise to the buyer. Bidder personally
guarantees payment, and if a corporation, an officer or
principal in the corporation agrees to personally guarantee
payment. Title to any purchased items remains with SPINK
until all invoices are paid in full. SPINK reserves the right to
await clearance of any check used for payment before
delivery of any item and a $25.00 charge will be applied for
any check that fails to clear.
SPINK reserves the right to refuse to honor or reject any bid
which, in its opinion, is not submitted in good faith, or,
as the case dictates, is not supported by satisfactory
references, as SPINK in its sole discretion shall determine.
SPINK further reserves the right to ban any bidder from
participation in its sales for any reason deemed appropriate in
its sole discretion.
No minors may participate in any SPINK sales.
Bids will be executed for mail bidders at one advance over the
next highest bid in competition with floor and/or internet
bidders, until the maximum bid is executed for the mail
bidder, or until the lot is sold. No buy or unlimited bids will
be accepted. No additional commission (except for the
buyer’s premium) is charged for executing mail bids. SPINK
cannot and does not assume any responsibility for errors
made in the amount bid or lot numbers listed, so check your
bid sheet and online submission carefully. When identical
mail bids are submitted, preference is given to the first
received.
SPINK may reopen the bidding on a lot under the
following circumstances: (a) SPINK has failed to execute correctly a mail bid; (b) A party purchasing the lot on the floor
has done so in error; (c) Where a protest is made after the

hammer has fallen but before bidding has commenced on the
next lot; (d) Where the auctioneer has determined that
he/she has overlooked a party still bidding on the
lot but before the calling of the next lot; and (e) At the
discretion of the auctioneer. In the event of a dispute, the
auctioneer’s decision shall be final.
Agents executing bids on behalf of clients will be held
responsible for all purchases made on behalf of clients unless
otherwise arranged prior to the sale.
The same protections applicable to SPINK shall apply to
each officer, director and employee of SPINK unless such
individual shall be convicted of knowingly and intentionally
selling false or stolen goods.
The descriptions provided in the catalog are intended
solely for the use of those bidders who do not have
the opportunity to view the lots prior to bidding. All
photographs in the catalog are as accurate as can be
reproduced with today’s technology; however, they cannot
be relied upon for exact reproduction of color. All bidders
who have inspected the lots prior to the auction will not
be granted any return privileges, except for reasons of
genuineness. It is presumed that all floor bidders have
inspected the lots prior to bidding. Therefore, lots purchased
by floor bidders are sold “AS IS” and may not be returned.
Floor Bidders include those bidders acting as agents for
others. Additionally, SPINK reserves the right to describe
items differently than the descriptions shown in the catalog
should such items be consigned to any future auction.
All the lots are sold as genuine. For the purpose of this sale,
“genuine” is defined as not faked or forged and SPINK will
not knowingly sell any item that has been “repaired’,
“restored”, “processed”, “cleaned”, “pressed” or “conserved” in any way without disclosure of such facts to the
potential buyer.
The following conditions apply to requests for expertization
of philatelic items: (a) Mail bidders are asked to advise
SPINK of any extension requests at the time of placing their
bids; (b) Floor bidders must advise SPINK of any extensions
in writing at the time of lot settlement; (c) SPINK will
submit all items so requested by successful bidders to the
reputable authority of their choice; For United States stamps,
the Philatelic Foundation and the Professional Stamp Experts
are the accepted authorities. (d) Purchasers of items
submitted for expertization must pay as part of the purchase
price all charges for expertization, including postage and
handling; (e) Purchasers of items to be expertized must
make payment in full immediately upon purchase prior to
expertizing; Refunds will be made promptly for all sums
if in the unlikely event an item is returned with a negative
opinion; (f) Requests for expertization of stamps with
certificates dated within the last five (5) years of the sale date
will not be granted; (g) No lot may be returned due to a
certification service grading a stamp differently than the
grade stated in the auction description; (h) No lot will
be accepted as a return from expertization if the item is
indelibly marked as being altered or fraudulent by the
expertizing authority; and (i) No lot will be accepted as a
return, for any reason whatsoever, including extension
returns, after four (4) months from the sale date. Any
exceptions to this time limitation must be agreed to in
writing at SPINK sole discretion.
19. No lots may be returned without a written request by the
successful bidder and the written approval of SPINK. In the
unlikely event of returning a lot, SPINK must receive
notification of the buyer’s intent within three (3) days of the
buyer’s receipt of the lot. The following lots may not be
returned for any reason whatsoever: (a) lots containing ten or
more items; (b) lots described as having faults or defects
because of the faults described or any others, including lots
described as “repaired”, “corroded”, “holed”, “whizzed”, or
similar damage, except for non-authenticity; (c) illustrated
lots because of centering, margins, etc. or other factors
shown in the illustrations; (d) lots described “AS IS”,
including third party graded coins or banknotes (i.e. PCGS,
NGC, ANACS, ICG); (e) lots valued primarily for the
bullion content; (f) lots examined by postal viewers; and
(g) any philatelic extension lot unless the conditions set forth
in Item 18 above is complied with fully. Except for lots placed
on extension, as per the conditions of Item 18 above, no lots
may be returned for any reason whatsoever after thirty (30)
days from sale date. Late payment for purchase may,
at SPINK option, be considered just cause to revoke all
return privileges. If any disputes arise regarding payment,
authenticity, or description between the bidder and SPINK,
SPINK at its sole discretion, may submit the disputed matter
to binding arbitration in New York, NY, to which the bidder,
by placing a bid and hereby accepting these Terms and
Conditions of Sale, agrees to be bound.
20. United States coins and currency will not, in conformity with
the law, be opened at less than face value.
21. The auctioneer reserves the right to postpone the sale by
auction for a reasonable period of time as a result of
any significant event which, in the sole discretion of the
auctioneer, makes it advisable to postpone the event. No
prospective bidder or prospective buyer shall have recourse as
a result of any postponement
22. In the event SPINK refers an invoice(s) to an attorney for
collection, the buyer agrees to pay SPINK attorney’s fees,
court costs, witness fees and other costs incurred by SPINK.
23. THESE TERMS OF SALE SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS
OF LAW. THE SIGNER OF A SPINK BID SHEET OR
PARTICIPANT IN THE AUCTION AGREES THAT

Commencing from about World War I or so, there were
several commercial efforts being launched by Africans
and African-Americans to develop economic and
trade ties for their mutual advancement. The African Steamship and Sawmill Company was established
in 1915 by Rev. Lewis Garnett Jordan (1853-1939),
president, and Bishop W. H. Heard, treasurer, of the
Baptist Foreign Mission Society of Philadelphia. They
were financed by members of the Baptist and AME
churches. In March 1919, the company was reorganized
by S.O. Logemoh, who attempted to obtain a vessel from
the U.S. Shipping Board. S. O. Logemoh, was a Liberian entrepreneur (nicknamed “the Professor). He had
been involved in plans for the company to operate ships
between Monrovia and Philadelphia. He became director of the African Industries Company in 1922.

Italian physicist Guglielmo Marconi’s new invention was
patented in England in 1896. Following this Marconi
formed the Wireless Telegraph and Signal Company
with the help of his cousin Jameson Davis, and this was
later renamed the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company
in 1900. Being a British owned company much of their
work was initially based in England and Europe, but
Marconi’s radio-telegraphy system became more widely
recognised following the America’s Cup in 1899 where
his system was used to communicate between ships and
the newspapers in New York City on the progress of the
yacht race. This sparked worldwide interest and lead to
the formation of the subsidiary, the American Marconi
Company.

In an effort to bypass certain governmental pressures
concerning the alleged mopolistic powers of the Standard Oil Company, Standard Oil Trust was conceived
and controlled by nine trustees. As general statutes at
the time limited ownership in other firms in other staes,
Rockefeller and Flagler devised a plan to take care of
these legalities. Acquisitions and ventures were channeled through trustees, whose affiliation and loyalty to
Rockefeller and Standard Oil were not readily obvious.
This new arrangement enabled Rockefeller to form alliances and set up new concerns in other states while
retaining complete control of all various interests. It
brought new meaning to the word “Trust,” and made
Rockefeller and Flagler the most powerful individuals in
the industry and the richest men in the world.

to the shares upon payment of ‘dues’ of $5 per month
until the price of $500 (5% of the par value) has been
paid.
Several ranches were established along Sonoita Creek
in Arizona. Rollin Rice Richardson purchased some land
in the early 1880’s which included the Crittenden Military reservation, gradually expaning his holding over
the next few years. He renamed his ranch the Crittenden
and was by 1890 running some 12,000 head of cattle.
The drought of 1893 severely hit his oparations and
reduced his herd to only 4,000. Sold out to the Empire
Ranch in 1901.

The company was formed in 1890 to purchase land and
create the town which was incorporated in 1891. It became famous for its glass manufacture, being home to
Pittsburgh Glass, one of the largest in the world at the
time.
Incorporated in Mississippi the company had obvious
links with Confederate President Jefferson Davis but we
are unable to ascertain whether there was any financial
involvement or he just lent his name to this enterprise.
The Davis’s were living at Beauvoir near Biloxi in the
1880’s but had died by 1889. Perhaps the company was
formed after his death to deal with the 600 plus acres of
land around the house?

The William Jaume Collection of Cuba
We are extremely pleased to be able to offer this very extensive collection of Stocks and Bonds from Cuba.
William has been a client for many years of the old Collectors Gallery and R.M.Smythe businesses which are
now part of Spink and we are so pleased that we are able to offer many pieces again to new clients.
William Jaume left Cuba for Miami in 1962 aged 8. He was expecting his parents and siblings to join him but
the Cuban missile crisis in October 1962 caused all visas to be revoked and it was to be another 4 years before
they managed the journey. The parents of 14,048 children chose to send them away through the Catholic
Welfare Bureau in what is now called Operation Pedro Pan, the largest exodus of unaccompanied children in
the Western Hemisphere. After a few months William was sent to New Jersey for schooling and a local family
was found for him to live with.
William later attended Williams College in Massachusetts, double majoring in Spanish and political science.
He also received an MBA in finance from New York University. He spent 25 years working on Wall Street
and moved to Fort Lauderdale after his job ended in 2008.
Introduction by William Jaume
In the summer of 1991, I started working for the Corporate Trust Division of Banker’s Trust Company (now
Deutsche Bank). Among my many operational responsibilities was the management of the vault that held
physical securities, both registered and bearer. Shortly after my start, the supervisor in charge of the vault
informed me that it was time to purge obsolete securities from the vault inventory. Among the items to be
purged were old Cuba Railroad bonds. The items caught my eye both for their artistic impression and because of my Cuban heritage. I obtained permission to keep a sample. At the same time, my work colleague,
noticing my interest, introduced me to the world of scripophily. He had been a collector for many years
specializing in railroads and mining companies. He taught me the ropes about contacting dealers, the Bond
& Stock Society, and especially about RM Smythe & Co, which was exactly 2 blocks away from my office in
the financial district! I soon became fascinated with this wonderful world of old securities which unlocked an
amazing trove of history, and I focused my attention on Cuba and the Balearic Islands. My family is originally from Mallorca and I was born in Cuba, thereby the link. Over the course of 20 years, I accumulated approximately 50 pieces from the Balearic Islands and over 500 pieces relating to Cuba. I had a marvelous time
dealing with auctions all over the world, Internet sales, rummaging through shops in the US and in Europe
and working directly with dealers. I learned so much about the history of my native country and met many,
many fascinating people along the adventure. I recently retired and my focus now is on different things, so I
have decided to pass on my collection so that others may enjoy what I enjoyed for such a long time. I donated the Balearic collection to a cousin in Mallorca who continues to keep it alive and plans to exhibit it there
someday. My Cuban collection has been entrusted to Spink so it may have the widest possible distribution.
It’s been a wonderful experience.

This Spanish trading company was established as a
monopoly (as were most others at that time) in 1740
and investers including the Spanish Royal family. Trade
included sugar, tobacco and of course slaves. By the
1760’s the company was suffering from the usual complaint of bad management but it lingered on until 1790.
There must have been some residual value as the shares
were still traded until 1817 as is shown by this example.

Mining copper at El Cobre stretches back to at least the
sixteenth century. The rich mines in the south east of
Cuba were worked for almost three centuries by slave
labour and free people of colour by the Spanish but had
fallen into disuse by the time they attracted the attention
of British investors who had obtained samples of the
waste from the mines in the 1830’s. This and the Royal
Santiago Mining Company looked to Cornwall for their
labour and indeed the steam engines already working
there.
