True North Prototype Auction
A Fundraiser to Benefit the
Samvit Sagar School in Madras, India
Ending June 16, 2000
The HK House of Peers and Harmony Ball Company present the unique prototype 'True North,' a Canadian HK exclusive, in this special auction. This charity auction will benefit the Samvit Sagar School in Madras, India. Madras, the capital of Tamil Nadu, is India's fourth-largest city and the cradle of the Dravidian civilization, which is one of the world's oldest articulate cultures. The Samvit Sagar Shcool's mission is to provide a high standard of education for gifted children from low-income familes.
'True North'
Prototype
The school offers children an education
in academia, sports, and knowledge of the self. This
facility provides funded education for children who
otherwise would have little hope of any that would meet
Western standards.
Most schools in India are privately funded and in
desperate need of contributions. Money raised from this
auction will provision equipment and educational tools, such
as new technology and text books.
The prototype being offered was carved by Ann Richmond. This
particular item was made in the UK. The outside of the piece
features colors different from the retail edition. The only
hallmark on the piece is that of Ann Richmond. The most
noticeable difference is the interior. In this prototype, a snowmobiler,
wearing the initials "JV" with a F1 insignia, lies
face up in the snow having just crashed into a brick sign
that reads "Jacque's Happy." Could this be Jacques
Villeneuve, the famous Canadian Formula One racer?
True North is the first
Canadian exclusive Harmony Kingdom Box Figurine, distributed by
Canadian Distributors Amyot & Watt, available only from
HK dealers in Canada. Martin Perry has signed both the base and
the lid, authenticating it as a Harmony Kingdom prototype.
The item is free of nicks, cracks, or other damage.
Payment in US dollars by money order or bank draft, made out to The Samvit Sagar Trust, for the amount of the winning bid. Buyer pays shipping and insurance with a second money order or bank draft, payable to HK House of
Peers, sent to the HOP Treasurer. Personal checks cannot be acepted.
The item will ship within one business day of receipt of payment. Your Samvit Sagar Trust donation will be forwarded to them within one business day of receipt, with a letter from the House of Peers acknowledging your contribution.
This is a charity auction sponsored by the HK House of Peers for The Samvit Sagar
School. Donations to Samvit Sagar may be U.S. tax deductible for the amount greater
than the fair market value of this piece. For answers to
