H E Arnhold 1921-2011

Hans Eduard Arnhold was born on December 10th 1921 in Dresden, Germany. A son and grandson of an important and traditional family of Saxony bankers, he showed an early interest in philately. Eduard became a serious collector on receiving part of his father, Kurt Arnhold’s prestigious collection which included the stamps of the British Empire.

As a boy in the 1930’s Eduard was prevented from studying in his native country by the anti-semitic laws at the time. As a result he went to school at Chateau d’Oex in Switzerland.

By December 1939 the stage was set for the Second World War and Eduard left from the UK, departing to Rio de Janeiro as a jewish refugee. He took his beloved stamp collection with him.

By the early 1940’s he settled with his parents in Sao Paolo where he later established both a family and a business.

His collecting hobby became a passion which stayed with him until the last days of his life.

Eduard spent the last fifteen years of his life in the small seaside town of Itapema in the state of Santa Catarina where he had studied nature, another of his passions.

He died on May 25th 2011 aged 89.

The Orange Free State Study Circle was founded in 1953 to study all the aspects of the Orange Free State and the Orange River Colony to 1913.

These include early missionary mail and the Sovereignty period to 1854, the Republic to 1900, the British Occupation during the Anglo-Boer War, the

Colonial period and the Interprovincial period. All stamp issues are studied (including postal duties, with the many provisionals, the RDM and Commando

Brief franks, revenues, telegraphs, customs duties and railway marks), as are all postmarks and instructional markings, the postal rates (letter, postal

stationery, registration fees), postal orders and all campaign mail.

The Study Circle’s quarterly journal is the Orange Free State Bulletin and is the main communication tool of the Circle in conjunction with its website

6.6 No lot illustrated in the sale catalogue or on the SG Auction Web Site shall be rejected on the ground of characteristics apparent from its illustration.
