The Inventor of the Postage Stamp. The Great Debate Between the Sons of Rowland Hill and James Chalmers

1049 1879 (Nov. 29) a five page letter on paper with “10 Rosehill Road Wandsworth S.W”from Patrick Chalmers (Son of James Chalmers) to Edwin Hill (Son of Rowland Hill),Chalmers was apparently unaware that Edwin had died in 1876. The letter appears to befriendly and wanting to know whether Edwin had any knowledge of the adhesive PostageStamp as he was aware that Rowland Hill had originally favoured stamped covers. As thepublic were contributing (as indeed he says he was as well) to Rowland Hill’s MemorialFund, he felt “.... that some enlightenment on this point was due, not alone to them butfurther in mere justice to whoever may have sent this valuable suggestion in 1840”. He alsoadvocated that any statement be sent to the press for publication. It would appear thateven at this early stage, Chalmers was obviously plotting that his father should be creditedwith the authorship of the Postage Stamp, rather than Sir Rowland Hill. The letter withsome minor perimeter tears and pages 4 and 5 attached by archival tape. Photo £1,500-2,000

LITERATURE: Illustrated on page 23 of “Chalmers versus Hill” by Anthony Wicks

1050 1879 (4 Dec.) a seven page reply on paper with “50 Belsize Park N.W.” from PearsonHill, in which, although civil, Hill calls Chalmers a “Controversial Correspondent”!He refers him to the 9th Report of the Commissioners of Post Office Enquiry in 1837,stating that his father distinctly proposes and described the “Adhesive Label”. He furthergoes on to point out that there are two books about to be published, a biography of SirRowland Hill and a History of the Penny Postage. Hill states that this should suffice tosatisfy anyone with an interest in the subject; The reply folded and with some minor agestaining, pages 4 and 5 attached by archival tape. Photo £1,500-2,000


1051 1879 (10 Dec.) Chalmers replies to Hill in a seven page letter with “10 Rosehill Road,Wandsworth S.W.”, he was far from happy with Hill’s reply. He was sure that the adhesivestamp mentioned in the 9th report was an afterthought and that more emphasis was givento stamped covers. In this assumption he was correct, as Rowland Hill, at that stageexpected Mulready letter sheets and envelopes to be substantially more popular with thegeneral public. Chalmers goes on to demand a public contradiction of so glaring amisstatement of the facts and finishes with “it is not in this way that you will desire tomaintain a claim to the merit of the adhesive stamp”. Photo £1,500-2,000


1052 1879 (13 Dec.), Pearson Hill’s four page reply on paper with “50 Belsize park N.W.” inwhich he states “There is unfortunately scarcely a statement or argument in your letter ofthe 10th instant with which I can agree”. Hill ends with a p.s. “I am afraid that I canscarcely see my way to the notification to the public which you desire .... the only notice whichcould be issued consistent with the truth would be that as one part of Sir Rowland Hill’s plans,the use of adhesive labels had proven more convenient to the public than he supposed”.

1053 1880 (24 Nov.) after nearly a year Chalmers resumes with a six page letter on paper withembossed “ORIENTAL CLUB”, apparently prompted by him reading the recently published“The Life of Rowland Hill”. Chalmers asks three questions, based on the personal claimsof Rowland Hill claiming the merit of the adoption of the adhesive stamp: 1) Wanted toknow whether a personal claim to this stamp was furnished to the parties who sent in plansfor the Treasury Competition of 1839? 2) Who were the four parties who received a‘douceur’ of £100 each and whether “that was given by way of acknowledgement ofobligation due them in reference to this adhesive stamp? 3) Chalmers wondered why anindependent tribunal had not been used to assess claims of other parties at the time ofplans for stamp usage? Why did Rowland Hill assume that no-one had conceived oradvocated the use of the adhesive stamp for postal use prior to 1837?; fine. Photo £1,500-2,000


1054 1880 (27 Nov.). Hill’s terse single page reply on paper with embossed “50 Belsize ParkN.W.”, “Dear Sir (adhesive Postage Stamps) My answer to your letter of 24th instant, mustbe to refer you to mine of the 4th and 13th December last. Sir Rowland Hill’s claims on whichthey are made are now before the world, and until you can prove that someone has a priorclaim I must decline to go into minor points”; fine. Photo £1,500-2,000

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.
