Henry R. Harmer, a signatory of the exclusive "Roll of Distinguished Philatelists," founded the company that bears his name in England in 1918. In 1940, the Harmer firm opened its New York auction gallery and quickly ascended to the top ranks of philatelic auction houses in the United States. Now celebrating nearly eight decades in the business, H.R. Harmer has recently relocated from Southern California to Midtown Manhattan, just a stone's throw from their original location.
As a part of the Global Philatelic Network, H.R. Harmer has four sister companies in Europe and Asia; combined, the group provides stamp collectors around the world with exceptional personal service, backed by decades of experience in the marketplace.
NEW YORK, N.Y., May 13, 2019 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — H.R. Harmer will conduct the sale of the first part of the renowned “ERIVAN” Collection of United States Postal History in New York City.
