Spink Shreves Galleries - Richard J. Rinkoff Collection of British Empire Postage Stamps - July 24, 2009 Spink Shreves Galleries is proud to announce we have been honored, once again, to handle the unreserved auction sale of a marvelous collection of British Empire postage stamps. The exceptional Richard J. Rinkoff Collection will be sold in our New York City auction galleries on Friday, July 24, 2009.

The Rinkoff Collection is a wonderfully comprehensive collection of the entire Empire, with special emphasis on the stamps from British Africa, British America and Malayan States – as well as a strong representation from the Pacific Islands. Some of the more challenging areas he focused on include the Uganda Missionary stamps, as well as Japanese Occupation issues of Malaya. Completion was not Mr. Rinkoff’s goal, but rather he tried to acquire as many elusive and desirable stamps he could find – in the finest possible condition – with the prerequisite that the especially elusive items be accompanied by certificates of authenticity.
