11 19 November 2014 (First Session, Lots ) The Jim Czyl Collection 19 The Jim Czyl Collection James C Czyl James C Jim Czyl was born in Harvey, Illinois, on March and until his recent death was considered one of the leading authorities on cinderellas and the local posts of the world. He had been a contributing editor to Cinderella Scene in Linn s Stamp News. Jim was an active member of many philatelic societies including the Cinderella Stamp Club, the Collectors Club of Chicago, the Chicago Philatelic Society, the American Philatelic Society, the S. Allan Taylor Society, and a founding member of the Lundy Collectors Club USA. Sometimes described as labels purporting to be a stamps, cinderellas embrace any item that appears to be a stamp but is not officially recognised. These include bogus or privately produced issues. Jim provided his own contributions to the field, founding and operating Czyl s Penny Post and Posen Local Post among others, his productions commemorating a range of subjects, including Lundy. Our photograph above shows Jim visiting the island s battered postbox on one of his eight visits. As well as this attractive kaleidoscope of phantoms, Jim researched and acquired many of the important rarities in the field of Local Posts, including examples of the famous Trinidad Lady Mcleod, the earliest stamp used in any British colony, as well as the ever popular Lake Lefroy Cycle Mails, and the only known example of the Sombrero Island d, purchased when Grosvenor sold the collection of the late Norman Williams in Jim s extensive collection reflected a great fondness for all material in the philatelic world that is not mainstream, his great tendency always toward the unusual or neglected. As a result, the following section of lots also includes a number of rare proofs, essays, revenues and telegraphs.

119 November 2014 (Third Session, Lots ) Falkland Islands and Antarctica THE FALKLAND ISLANDS PHILATELIC STUDY GROUP (founded 1970) The Group was founded following a meeting of some 50 collectors gathered together by Malcolm Barton, a Vice President. Membership grew rapidly, reaching 125 in 1972, 220 in 1976 and is now at 380 members. The Group is truly international in its membership structure. The objects of the Group are to research into all aspects of philately connected with the Falkland Islands and their former Dependencies, leading to the publication of findings and to foster Falkland Islands philately by all means, including exchanging of information and philatelic material. Research is carried out by individual members, and is collated through a nominated leader for each subject. A weekend meeting takes place annually in March during which displays are given, auctions and a bourse take place and an Annual General Meeting is held. Regional meetings are also held on a regular basis in various parts of the UK and in other countries, including the USA, Australia, Norway, Sweden and the Falkland Islands. Members, whether beginners or advanced collectors, are encouraged to attend. The award winning Upland Goose, a quarterly journal, is distributed to all members and to leading philatelic libraries. Members Sales and Wants are published with the journal without charge. Two auctions of members material are held each year, one a postal auction and the other live at the weekend gathering. Other material surplus to members require - ments is available through a popular circulating packet, limited because of insurance constraints to subscribers within the UK. FIPSG is a member of ABPS and the American Philatelic Society.

126 20 November 2014 (Third Session, Lots ) The Harry Evans Collection 133 The Harry Evans Collection HEJ Harry Evans In August this year the philatelic world sadly lost another of its most highly regarded and stalwart figures. HEJ Harry Evans, recognised as the founding father of organised Polar Philately, had in December 1952 set up the Polar Postal History Society of Great Britain, an organisation which he then ran, as Secretary and Treasurer, for the next 40 years, from 1953 to When the Society decided upon the establishment of a formal committee, Harry continued as President, holding this post until the end of his life. Over the years Harry had contributed regularly to the society Journal, The Polar Post, and also served as Packet Superintendent and Cover Offers Coordinator, the productions placed for sale having often been his inspiration. It has been said that there can hardly be a polar cover collector in the world who has never owned an Evans item. When the American Society of Polar Philatelists was formed in 1955, Harry was one of the founding members, and he was also an active participant in the activities of the Falkland Islands Philatelic Study Group. Harry s knowledge of his area was encyclopaedic and he enjoyed greatly his researches into lesser known subjects, meeting and corresponding with other experts around the world and forming strong friendships. Over the years he formed a remarkable collection and remained an active buyer and seller to the end. The following lots present a fascinating balance of classic and modern Antarctic Material whilst also including many exceptional items of Whaling Mail, Operation Tabarin and South Georgia.

127 November 2014 (Third Session, Lots ) The Harry Evans Collection The Polar Postal History Society of Great Britain The Polar Postal History Society of Great Britain was founded in 1952 by HEJ Evans, and the present Committee is headed by our Chairman, Trevor R Cornford, BA FRGS, who specialises in the Heroic Age of the Scott and Shackleton Expeditions. The other members of the Committee share the diverse collecting interests of our members generally, from modern Indian Antarctic bases to whaling mail, studies of cancellations and expedition postcards, as well as thematic or social history, from both North and South Poles. Over the years this diversity has had an expanding appeal to collectors from all around the World, with membership currently standing at over 240. Newer subjects of study, such as old photographs, QSL cards, literature, original letters and maps, all fall into our members' fields of interest. We run a quarterly journal, The Polar Post, a most important means of contact, a regular auction, and a residential weekend held at two-yearly intervals, normally in Cambridge, a popular location convenient for many Polar institutions, such as the British Antarctic Survey and Scott Polar Research Institute, and providing all the attractions of a historic city centre for non-collecting other halves. We attend a number of one-day philatelic events throughout the UK in order to promote the Society and to further a wider interest in the Polar Regions and their postal services, as well as attending other events associated with Polar research and exploration. Members of other specialist societies, such as those for Scandinavia or Thematics, frequently find that we provide a valuable additional source of knowledge and a forum for debate that greatly enriches their collecting. Our society website address is so if you have an interest in either or both of the Polar Regions, North or South, do look us up. Application forms for membership may be downloaded from the website and sent by post to Membership Secretary, Robert McMillan, 46 New Village Road, Cottingham, East Yorkshire HU16 4NA or by to polar@mcmillan.karoo.co.uk Annual membership currently costs just 15 for the UK and 20 for Europe and the Rest of the World. Associated membership of the American Society of Polar Philatelists can be arranged and their fees collected in the UK. Please specify your range of interests on the application form but, whatever they might be, you will be sure of receiving not just the current year's copies of The Polar Post when you join, but a very warm welcome.
