THE PETER DUPPA-MILLER COLLECTION OFWORLD GOLD MINES - PART II

Peter Duppa-Miller, sadly died in May, 2015 at the age of 80. His working life was in the Navy where heretired as a Submarine Commander. He remained very active after retirement and was heavily involved in hisParish Council and other local affairs. He was an inveterate collector with wide and disparate interests from18th century glass to Japanese sword fittings! Peter became interested in Bonds and Shares after a visit to thebarbers in the 1980’s! He read an article in a magazine that was in the waiting room and this fired hisimagination and interest. After dipping into the traditional themes of Russian Cities and Confederate bondshe finally decided on Gold Mines. This became a time consuming passion and he was soon elected to becomeSecretary of the International Bond & Share Society in 1988. Peter later became membership Secretary in 1996and then Chairman in 2000 until 2005 when his local interests proved too time consuming to do both.

Part I was sold by us in November 2015.

THE TANKRED MENZEL COLLECTION

Tankred Menzel held many interests and was active in a varietyof different fields. He first trained to become a pilot for theBundeswehr and later changed his career path to become anelectrician and Radio-frequency engineer. He would go on todevelop numerous inventions in the field of electricalconductivity of synthetics and with his company “Transfer-Electric” he developed Solar and Nano varnishing technology.Throughout his numerous activities, what remained consistentwas his meticulous attention to detail. Tankred’s professionalcareer was not the only area in which he excelled. Throughouthis life, he maintained a deep love for music. Although adept atnumerous instruments, his one true love remained thesaxophone. His performances under the artist name “Lord Jim”remain legendary to this day.

In the early 1970s, he developed a keen interest in Scripophily,the printed form of financial history. From this point on and forthe rest of his life, he remained an avid collector. His first sharecertificates originated from Germany before he expanded hiscollection to include Europe and Asia. After several years ofcollecting Tankred found his main areas of interest, thetransport sector, the financial sector in New York and thefinancing of the conquest of the Wild West by US railways.These areas of interests were sparked by Tankred’s acquisition of the American Express Company with the signaturesof its well-known founders Henry Wells and William G. Fargo. He soon thereafter added many other American sharesand autographs to his collection.

In 1997, Tankred was able to add the mail jewel to his collection treasure chest when the acquired at an auction thefounder’s share #8 of the famous Standard Oil Company of Ohio, probably the most powerful company in history.John D. Rockefeller was its mastermind, founder, chairman and major shareholder. He epitomized an era of extremes– America’s Gilded Age – when enterprise and money was unrestrained and had nearly absolute power. Rockefellerwas the most hated businessman of the 19th century but also the most generous philanthropist of the 20th. WinstonChurchill wrote, “When history passes its final verdict on John D. Rockefeller, it may well be that his endowment….will be recognized as a milestone in human progress”. The certificate, issued the day of the founding of StandardOil, represents John D. Rockefeller’s main holding in his company, a full quarter of the company’s total capital andcarries two of his original autographs.

Tankred was fascinated by the history of the construction of American railways. He particularly loved all the largeformat and very decorative railway bonds. A love that yielded him the nickname “James BOND” between collectors.One of the attractive features of these US railway bonds for collectors is their artistic and outstanding steel engraving,normally coupled with a very low number of issued certificates. In addition they quite often bear the originalautographs of famous US Railroad tycoons.

Tankred was also one of the early and few collectors of township-bonds, rare bonds issued by towns and counties toassure the vital connection to the newly built, big railway lines. When Tankred bought many items from the famous“Carstenholz-Sammlung” he also brought attention to the field of Revenue Imprints on railway bonds.

Legendary is Tankred’s quote: “I do not need these old shares, but I absolutely must have them”. His collectioncontinued to grow and now encompasses more than a 1,000 items. In the later stages of Tankred’s life, he began tocare about the future of his collection. In the press, he was quoted as stating: “I am getting older and I start to sell.However, selling more than 1000 top pieces takes several years.” Unfortunately due to his illness, Tankred was unableto finish this process.

We at Spink are honoured to continue Tankred’s quest to sell his remaining collection of around 800 certificates. First and foremost, the famous Standard Oil founder share, but also autographs from Henry Wells, William G. Fargo,John Pierpont Morgan, W.L. Mellon, Henry Clews, Thomas Drayton, Augustus Schell, Richard Borden, Samuel J.Tilden, Erastus Corning, Thomas A. Scott and many others. In addition to his US railway certificates, we also offeran album of German certificates, some of which are founders shares, an album of European certificates, and a thirdalbum with international items, including some certificates from China.

Standard Oil Co. Inc. was established in January 1870. John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) was its mastermind, founder,chairman and major shareholder. The other five Standard Oil founders were Henry Flagler (1830-1913), developer of Florida’sFlorida East Coast Railway and resort cities, J.D.’s brother William Rockefeller (1841-1922), his father in law, Oliver B.Jennings (1825-1893) and Samuel Andrews (1836-1904) and Stephen V. Harkness (1818-1888). Standard Oil was withoutdoubt one of the most powerful companies in history. Never before or after has one single company been able to create a worldwidemarket for oil products and controlling the whole production chain from the oil wells to the consumer. It dominated the oilproduct markets for many years through aggressive horizontal integration in the refining sector, then, in later years throughvertical integration. It was also an innovator in the development of the business trust. It streamlined production and logistics,lowered costs, and undercut competitors. Its controversial history as one of the world’s first and largest multinationalcorporations ended in 1911, when the United States Supreme Court ruled that Standard was an illegal monopoly and had tobe dissolved into 34 “smaller” companies. Two of these companies eventually became Exxon and Mobil. With the dissolution ofthe Standard Oil, Rockefeller became the richest man in the world. On 16. May 1871 the certificate was cancelled and 500 shareshave been transferred to Stillman Witt (1808-1875), who had large interests in several railroads in the region aroundCleveland. The remaining 1907 shares remained with J.D. Rockefeller. Founder shares of the Standard Oil are extremely rare.In the 1960s, the president of Exxon presented approx. two handful of theses Founders shares as a gift to his Vice-Presidents. Thesecertificates are now all in collectors’ hands and have not been seen on the market for many years. What make this certificate #8one of the most valuable scripophily in history, is the fact, that it is issued to J.D. Rockefeller himself and represent a capital ofMio. $2.4, nearly a Quarter of Standard Oil’s capital. A truly historic certificate.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

Charging of (VAT) at Auction

The information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends toaccount for VAT.

i. Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme

1. Where possible, we will offer Lots for sale under the Auctioneers’Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of anyVAT symbol 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 to UKVAT–registered businesses, the VAT on Buyers’ Premium is notrecoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day, we will issueinvoices that show VAT separately on both the Hammer Price andthe Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registered businesses torecover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to the normal rules forrecovering input tax.

ii. Zero-Rated Lots

Limited 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 will be added to the Buyer’spremium.

iii. Daggered Lots

Lots which are Daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 20%on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.

iv. Imported and Omega Lots

Lots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% onthe Hammer price plus 20% on the Buyer’s premium. Lots which bear theOmega symbol (Ω) are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price andon the Buyer’s Premium. This VAT is payable on items imported fromoutside the EU. In these cases we have used a temporary importationprocedure, which in effect means that the point of importation is deferreduntil the Lot has been sold. At this point the Buyer is treated as theimporter and is liable to pay the import VAT due. We will collect the VATfrom you and pay it to HM Customs and Excise on your behalf.

v. Investment Gold Lots

Lots 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 outside of the EU.
