The Roy Waudby Collection of Hull Ship Letters

Roy Waudby was a man of great vision and purpose and this was typified by his success inboth the business and social sectors. Born in the city of Hull where he lived all his life heachieved distinction in his qualification as a Chartered Accountant and shortly after joinedCattles Holdings, a locally based finance company as its Chief Accountant. Over the nextthree decades, as Chairman and Managing Director, he helped establish the company as anational player in the home collected credit/finance industry. At the same time he adopteda great passion for stamp collecting and accumulated a quality collection, which he wouldhave continued in his retirement had it not been for his untimely passing in 1999 at theage of 71.

Roy’s sudden death came too early for him to achieve other goals but he left a great legacyto so many.

2032 1798 (12 Oct.) entire, endorsed Pr. Hull Packet/Capt.

2041 1840 (1 Jan.) printed sheet headed “James Chalmers Printer, Bookseller, andStationer, Dundee”, being a receipt for 13/- to a Library, endorsed “1840 Jany 1Settled Ja(mes) Chalmers”; some creases but historically important and extremely rare.Photo £1,500-2,000

Note: James Chalmers, is said by many to be the true inventor and pioneer of postal reform,rather than the more commonly held view that Rowland Hill was the Father of PostalReform. He was a public spirited Dundee bookseller,who was very keen on postal reform andits associated problems. Chalmers was an unsuccessful contestant in the Treasury Competitionof 1839. There was much communication between Rowland Hill and James Chalmers, andbooks have been written on the subject, with bias on both sides. Chalmers is certainly a veryimportant personage in the history of postal reform.

2042 1842 (9 May) letter from Rowland Hill, at Downing Street, to William Bokenham(Superintending President of the Inland Office, and a key figure from the inception ofPenny Postage), complete with the original envelope, signed R.Hill at lower left; fine. A rare and important letter. Photo £1,500-2,000

Note: William Bokenham was responsible to Col. Maberly and was, therefore, not surprisinglyinitially hostile to Hill and his reforms; he later seems to have become co-operative, if notenthusiastic, in their implementation. Bokenham helped to receive letters at St. Martins-le-Grand on 19th. January 1840, during the rush on the inaugural day of Penny Postage.

Note: Frederick Hill joined the Post Office in 1851 to become Assistant Secretary, where hewas able to take a great deal of the load off his brother and superior officer, makingparticularly important changes in the Money Order Office. His unswerving loyalty andconfidence in his brother is evinced by the considerable cut in salary he accepted by moving tothe Post Office.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

Charging of (VAT) at AuctionThe information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends toaccount for VAT.

i. Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme1. 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 LotsLimited 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 LotsLots 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 LotsLots 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 LotsLots 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.
