2 Commentary Scott R. Trepel H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco is given a brief introduction to U.S First Government Airmail by Scott Trepel at MonacoPhil ROYAL Philately Stamp collecting was given a boost in the late nineteenth century when future King George V took up the hobby with the collection he was given by his father, King Edward VII. George V was a serious philatelist who studied his subject and greatly expanded the collection, housing it in 328 Red Albums used during his reign. A set of Blue Albums was used during the reign of George VI, and Green Albums for Elizabeth II. Today, the Royal Philatelic Collection is one of the world s oldest and most important philatelic collections. Since 2003 it has been under the careful curatorship of Michael Sefi, Keeper of the Royal Philatelic Collection, who has given the collection worldwide exposure by displaying parts of it around the world, including an exhibit at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum. There are other stamp collections in Royal families. H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco is heir to the multigenerational collection started in 1917 when Prince Albert I bought a collection from an English pastor who took up residence in Monaco. Prince Louis II expanded the collection, and in 1937 he created the Monaco Philatelic Bureau and Post Office, which supplies and houses all of the Monaco philatelic issues. H.S.H. Prince Ranier III, who became famous in the United States for marrying an American movie star, Grace Kelly, inherited the Royal collection upon his accession to the throne in 1949, and he took an active interest in expanding it. He also participated in choosing the subjects, colors, sizes and formats of every stamp issued by Monaco. In fact, a Monegasque stamp could not be issued until it was officially approved by the Prince himself. My personal experience with Prince Ranier III occurred, indirectly, in March 1996 when the Siegel firm offered Scott Gallagher s collection of covers to and from the United States. There was a scarce cover with French stamps used in Monaco (Sale 774, lot 1397) estimated at $750 to $1,000. When the session was held, it was attended by the usual group, but seated at the center was a young blonde-haired woman of truly extraordinary beauty. She was like a beautiful flower in a field of old vines. When the lot came up, she nervously bid, and there was strong competition. She ended up winning it for $3,500, and the lot was invoiced to Prince Rainer III and delivered to the Consulate General of Monaco s office in New York. Monaco is still very active in philately, and every two years the Club de Monte-Carlo, in association with the Monegasque Office for Stamp Issues, holds a special event called MonacoPhil. It is staged at the Stamp and Coin Museum in Monte Carlo. Exhibits are also set up in the Monaco Top Cars museum, which houses the impressive vintage car collection. Charles Shreve and I attended the exhibition, which was held in November last year. It was my second time, and I was honored to be part of a small group introduced to Prince Albert II, who supports and visits every MonacoPhil event. A special Celebrate The Americas exhibit was displayed, and the Prince was given a brief tour of the exhibits by Wade Saadi, Gordon Eubanks and myself. I can t help wondering if Prince William or Prince Harry have ever looked at the Royal Philatelic Collection. I d like to think so. Perhaps one or both have inherited their great-great-grandfather s philatelic gene. If so, it is a terrific starter collection, but of course it is missing the stamps of the United States and countries outside the British Commonwealth. We could help with that. 2 THE SIEGEL DESPATCH WINTER 2018 (NO. 58)
3 The DAVID WINGATE Collection of United States Stamps April Many stamp collectors follow a common path in forming collections: find an album, locate sources for stamps, and fill the spaces as much as opportunities or one s budget will allow. In rare cases, a collector follows a trajectory that rises above the crowd. David Wingate was that rare and exceptional collector. Gifted with an eye for aesthetic quality in both art and philately, Mr. Wingate applied his talent and resources to the formation of a United States stamp collection that is extraordinary for its completeness, quality and depth. A gentleman of humble demeanor, Mr. Wingate was a quiet, yet forceful presence in stamp auctions during the late 1990s and early years of the 21st century. He started by filling spaces, but quickly evolved into a knowledgeable and passionate collector who created his own computer-designed pages to accommodate the varieties and multiples that appealed to his visual sense and appreciation of rarity. $ Special Printing (PR54) The only recorded example Pictorial Invert (Scott 120b) One of 4 recorded unused examples (3 in private hands) Mr. Wingate passed away in 2011 at the age of 90. The collection he formed will be offered by Siegel Auction Galleries in April 2018, and its importance cannot be overstated. Many of the greatest rarities and outstanding multiples in United States philately are found in the Wingate collection. The pages that follow and a separate preview brochure show just a small group of highlights from the magnificent Wingate collection. The hardbound sale catalogue and online listings will be available in March. THE SIEGEL DESPATCH WINTER 2018 (NO. 58) 3

8 THE JAMES P. MYERSON COLLECTION PIONEER FLIGHT MAIL More than a century ago, pioneer aviators took to the skies in demonstration flights and competitions. Pilots risked their lives flying primitive aircraft, such as the Wright Brothers early models, one of which is depicted on the 20 Parcel Post stamp issued in January 1913 (shown above). The Myerson collection chronicles the flights from 1910 to 1916 that carried small quantities of mail sometimes with success, and other times not. Postal officials observed and supported these early airmail flights, hoping to encourage Congress to provide funding for government airmail service, which eventually started in May 1918, one hundred years ago. Above (both sides): A previously unreported three-line handstamp used on a picture postcard flown by Cal Rodgers during his transcontinental flight in Left and below (both sides): On March 24 and 31, 1912, aviator Fred DeKor made two attempts to fly mail from Houston to Galveston, Texas, with the cooperation of the Houston postmaster. Neither was successful, and only two examples of mail prepared for the flights are recorded. Both are special picture postcards handstamped with the three-line dated cachet: one with the March 31 date only (shown at left), and the other with March 24 and 31 dates. Both are in the Myerson collection. Above: On August 31, 1912, Lincoln Beachey flew mail in his Curtiss plane from the Westchester County Fair Grounds to the White Plains post office. One piece of mail from this USPOD Route 607,003 flight is recorded. Right: As part of the Smithville Horse Show and Fair, a special flight with USPOD Route assignment 645,001 was planned for July 18, A last minute change in pilots placed Russell Brooks North at the controls. He crashed upon take-off, and the mail was handled in the normal manner. Only one example is recorded, addressed to North s wife.

Trepel commented on the results: We sold 11,350 lots in 27 different catalogues, bringing in more than $25 million in sale dollars. The range of material was extraordinary from superb U.S. stamps to outstanding name collections. And, of course, our worldwide sales under the direction of Charles Shreve brought $5.7 million. The Siegel firm s website received the John Kevin Doyle Grand Award in the Chicagopex 2017 Literature class, in competition with all forms of philatelic media, print or digital. With digital media now the most important marketing tool for auctioneers, the Siegel firm will continue to invest in content and functionality. Looking ahead to 2018, Trepel remarked: The stock market is at an all-time high, the economy is strong, and many of our clients stand to benefit from the tax cuts that go into effect this year. I think the stamp market is poised for a long-overdue leap forward. In my opinion, we are in the seventh year of a flat line in value. With so much disposable wealth available to a generation that grew up with stamp collecting in the 60s and 70s, the emergence of new collectors with many millions to spend is a strong possibility. He added, Of course, collectors need buying opportunities.
