About H.R. Harmer
H.R. Harmer was founded in 1940. In 1946, H.R. Harmer Inc. of New York was selected to sell the late
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s stamp collection. This represented the first of many important
landmark auctions conducted by the firm. Over the next seven decades, the firm was chosen again and again
to sell many of the finest stamp collections ever formed, including the most valuable philatelic collection
sold at any U.S. auction -- the famed Louise Boyd Dale and Alfred F. Lichtenstein collections - through a series
of 25 sales beginning in 1968 and ending in May of 2004. H.R. Harmer has also offered many valuable properties
including the Princeton University Block of Four of the Inverted U.S. 24¢ Airpost, the Charnley, and Whelan Find.
