2291 CVR   imageTwo 1939 Registered Royal Train Covers Documenting the Back Dating of Covers to May 15 from Quebec City on May 17 or 18, and Montreal on May 18. First cover has Gray's RV-1 English Royal Train flag cancel dated May 15 with 11PM time mark canceling a 20c Fort Garry Gate stamp (but the Quebec backstamp transit c.d.s. shows "AM" MAY.18, indicating it was processed at Quebec. Cover also has the very scarce RV-10 French purple ink Bureau de Postes/Train Royal registration handstamp (RF F) on front and the very scarce English RV-5 purple ink Royal Train oval handstamp dated MAY.15 (RF F) on reverse. Also included is a photocopy of Postmaster Ross's operating instructions indicating registered covers should be hand cancelled, which explains why there are so few registered covers with flag cancels, especially with the French RV-10 registration handstamp. Second cover has a RV-3 English Royal Train c.d.s. dated MAY.15 with "22" time mark canceling the 13c Halifax Harbour stamps and a RV-4 French Train Royal c.d.s. dated MAI.15 with "22" time mark on reverse and a purple ink English RV-9 registration handstamp on front. However, the Montreal transit c.d.s. dated MAY.18 with "16" time mark indicates cover was actually processed at Montreal on May 18. Two very scarce 1939 Royal Train covers of exhibition quality.

2292 CVR Flag 1 imageMontreal 1-1 Imperial Ensign Flag Cancel, Ideal MAR.21.1896 Impression, ties 3c Small Queen to a fresh CPR cover mailed to Vancouver with backstamp receiver. This cancel is only known used at Montreal on Saturday evening March 21 and from 10am to 11am on Monday March 23, before being replaced by a M2 machine cancel. It is the key to any flag cancel exhibit/collection as it was used on the first day that machine flag cancels were used in Canada. It's rarity, especially on cover, is attested to by the fact that neither the Lingard ORAPEX Grand Award flag cancel exhibit nor the Sessions BNAPEX Grand Award flag cancel exhibit had an example on cover. Also, cover would be a choice edition to a Small Queen exhibit to show a great use of this stamp. There is a repaired tear to the upper left of the dater hub and on the back flap, which do not detract from this elusive flag cancel, which seldom comes to market. Langford's 2008 catalogue value for used on cover is US$1,500 or about C$2,000. (Scan a) Est $ 1,800

Cover has been trimmed on 3 sides and has vertical fold at far left, but cancels use from its short July 10-17 period of commercial use is much scarcer than its use on Bakers philatelic covers. In our March 2016 sale, a 5-1 cancel dated JUL.13.1897 on cover, opened on 3 sides and significantly reduced at top (Lot #898) realized $275, attesting to the scarcity of its commercial use.

2294 CVR Flag 3 imageOttawa 6-1 Victoria Jubilee Flag Cancels Dated NOV.8.1897, ties 3c Jubilee to cover to Montreal with next day receiver. Cover has opening faults with about 10mm trimmed from the right sides slipping 4 perfs on the stamp and there is residual signs of affixing cover to a page on reverse. However, this is a very scarce flag cancel and is much scarcer than the Ottawa open ended type 9 flag cancel used in conjunction with this cancel. Also majority of these Ottawa Type 6 flag cancels are of poor quality, and this one is clearer than most. Coutts catalogue value is an E-185 slogan cancel is now $250 attesting to its scarcity.

2302 CVR   imageCollection of Stampless Covers, 1828 to 1865. Collection begins with an 1828 cover from Placenta to Trinity, hand carried by a Mr. Snellgrove, next an 1830 and 1832 covers carried by the first "Express" boat. One is from Conception Bay SEP.14.1832 and the other from Harbor Grace to St. John's APR.2.1830; an AUG.15.1832 folded letter sent by the "Dolphin", this is the earliest recorded example of a "Dolphin"cover. The "Dolphin" sank April 23, 1833 near Portugal Cove; JUL.24.1832 cover carried by the "Zeypher" again from Harbor Grace to St. John's; MAR.3.1849 item inscribed "Leary". Leary was most probably a man, not a boat as ice in the winter prohibited use of boats; 3 copies of various postage accounts sent from Harbor Grace to Andrew Drysdale. Usually the "Express" boat. None of the previous items have any postal markings; four folded letters from the Sheriff Garland Gaden correspondence, they are dated DEC.12.1847, JUN.25.1848, SEP.30.1848 and just FEB.1848, and all sent to the Sheriff in Harbor Grace. One of the letter is sent care of "Messrs. Peter Rogerson & Son, St. John's", who are recorded as forwarding agents by Kenneth Rowe & Robson Lowe. Again, no postal markings on the 4 letters; an 1852 folded letter from Sheriff Gaden's replacement which confirms the Sheriff's safe return to England; four covers from 1853-1854, all with postal markings and they include a SEP.6.1854 folded letter from Trinity to harbor Grace rated 3d, a nice strike of the St. John's large "3" in black, a NOV.19.1853 St. John's cover with a manuscript "3" in red and an APR.20.1854 triple rate cover rate "9" in black, with an early usage of the St. John's "Too Late" handstamp. Triple rate covers are very scarce. A third group of covers are from 1857 to 1865. January 1, 1857 stamps were introduced, but were not made compulsory until the Cents issue of 1865. This last group includes a St. John's to Harbor Grace MAR.2.1857 with a Harbor Grace MAR.3.1857 c.d.s. and the earliest use of the Harbor Grace "3" in black. Also a cover sent from Old Pelican to St. John's and then on to Carbonear and then on to Harbor Grace. With a St. John's FEB.3.1857 c.d.s, a Carbonear FEB.2.1857 and "3" handstamp in black; a Brigus to Harbor Grace cover with a Brigus MAY.28.1859 c.d.s. and a "Brigus Paid" and "3" handstamps in red; an OCT.9.1860 cover with Harbor Grace c.d.s., Harbor Grace cover St. John's to Harbor Grace with a red "3" and a red St. John's Newfoundland Paid c.d.s.; a MAR.10.1865 cover with a red manuscript "3" and a red St. John's Newfoundland paid c.d.s. and MAR.10.1865 receiver in black; the final cover is dated DEC.20.1865 and has no postal markings or stamps, which were compulsory as of November 15, 1865. This cover sent from Trinity, presumably carried by favour. Overall condition is mixed, some have minor stains, others have numerous folds/creases from being refolded. Still a seldom offered and very scarce group.

2330 CVR 28 imageIn early May 1872, the Quebec and Gulf Steamship Company, having taken over the Halifax-St. John's mail contract on February 1st, 1872, moved the Nova Scotia terminus from Halifax to Pictou. From May 8th, when the first sailing from Pictou took place, until direct mail service from St. John's to Great Britain through Liverpool began in early November 1872, mail went through Pictou, then overland to Halifax where it was placed on the transatlantic mail steamer. As a result of the short time span of this routing, covered notated as going "via Pictou" are rarely seen. The following 6 lots are all covers sent "Via Pictou".

MAY.14.1872 Cover with 12c pale red brown on White Paper from the First Voyage St. John's to Pictou. Notation "Per S.S. Georgia to Pictou" at top. Faint St. John''s Newfoundland MAY.14,1872 c.d.s. in red as well as a Paid Liverpool Br. Packet MAY.31.1872 3A in red, both on front. Poole JUL.1.1872 receiver in black on back. Partial Waterman & Co. Merchants handstamp in blue on front. Part of the envelope missing top and back flap has some tears, some minor creases. (Scan a) (Scan b) (All Scans)
