292 CVR.   image1882 3c registered drop post card, franked with 1c yellow and 2c orange RLS, both tied by neat c.d.s., paying the 1c drop letter rate (despite being a post card) plus 2c registration fee. Mailed in London, Ont. (OCT.30.1882). Harrison et al state that private post cards were banned in July 1877 and not permitted to pass through the post again until January 1895. To get around this regulation W. J. McIntosh, clerk of the First Division Court at London, had legal notices printed on post card-sized card stock. Those addressed locally (such as this example) were treated as drop letters at the 1c rate, and could be registered for an additional fee of 2c. Rated as “RR - very rare, no more than half a dozen known” by Harrison et al. A pristine example of this special accommodation rate (most recorded examples have faults to varying degree), very fine (Unitrade 35, F1) (Scan a) Est. $ 300

293 CVR.   image1884 29c quadruple weight registered parcel post wrapper, franked with 2c green (pair), 10c magenta (pair) and 5c green RLS, all tied by duplex cancels and REGISTERED handstamps, paying the 24c quadruple weight parcel post rate plus 5c registration fee. Mailed at St. John's, Qué. (April 1884) to Montreal. Horizontal file fold not affecting stamps, still a scarce rate and very fine. (Unitrade 36, 40a, F2)

At the time of use of this cover, the 5c registration fee was only applicable to parcel post items, with the registration fee on letter being only 2c. This represents an elusive domestic use of the 5c RLS prior to the general increase of the registration fee to 5c several years later.

Mailed from Cedar Dale, Ont. (OCT.2.1885 - earliest recorded date for broken circle - light strike) to Henry Hechler in Halifax (Oct. 6 receiver on back). Illustrated advertising depicts a large factory with smoke stacks from the "A.S. Whiting Manfg Co, Scythes, Forks, Hoes, Rakes". Bit of aging, fine and an interesting illegal franking.

Back also has Toronto and RPO datestamps, as well as two different Dead Letter Office datestamps. "Not Called For" notation on front. A very interesting cover and scarce solo use of the 6c red brown.

307 CVR.   image1880 California to British Columbia Wells Fargo Express cover, likely mailed in San Francisco, California using a 3c green stationery envelope, sent to New Westminster, BC with 3c orange red adhesive (probably applied in Victoria) tied by Barnard's Caribou Express oval datestamp plus an oval COLLECT handstamp on front, as well as several Chinese characters, pencil docketing on reverse “returned 1880 – 8 July”. The back was detached and is reattached, still very attractive and scarce dual country franking. Fine. (Unitrade 37)

The sender paid a fee of 25c to Wells Fargo to send the letter using the company’s express delivery services, but it was also required to pay the postage that it would otherwise pay to the government, in this case the 3c letter rate from United States to Canada. As the letter was transferred to Barnard's Caribou Express, a second express company, it was liable to further postage for carrying the letter from Victoria to New Westminster, resulting in the addition of the 3c Small Queen.

Mailed from Chatham, C.W. (AUG.6.1875) to Ripley, Mississippi, with light G.W.R. datestamp on back. Cover wrinkling, as to be expected from such a large and heavy cover, reduced at both ends, but still an unusual rate, and more importantly a rare use of the first printing of the 10c value.

Mailed from Montreal (APR.24.1888 broken circle) to Buffalo, New York. This anomalous registration fee of 2c, the result of an error in the Postal Guide, was only in effect for two months (from March 1 to April 30, 1888) after which it was restored to 5c.

331 CVR.   image1873 6c pre-UPU rate cover to England, franked with a 6c yellow brown, first Ottawa printing, tied by a duplex cancel, paying the 6c pre-UPU rate to England via Canadian packet. Mailed from Montreal (JAN.31.1873) to Emsworth, England (Feb. 13 receiver), and forwarded to Southsea. Cover was inscribed "Pressing" by sender and was sent via New York under the first Packet principle. There was a 2c fee for mail sent New York, which was not prepaid. Thus the cover was handstamped 1d (for the 2c underpayment), which was crossed off as the short payment to be collected from the recipient was doubled to 2d as indicated by the manuscript notation. Bit of edge wear, but a lovely example of the First packet principle. (Unitrade 39) (Scan a) Est. $ 500
