1919 Hawker Trans-Atlantic Flight Overprint on 3c Red Brown Caribou, mailed from St John's on APR.12.1919 (machine cancel) to The Daily Mail in London, England, with English seal on back (used to close open flap), cancelled London MAY.30.1919. The cover is franked with a well centered Newfoundland C1, tied by the St John's machine cancel, with a "BY AEROPLANE" endorsement at top left. There is a vertical folding crease in the middle of the cover, still fine to very fine. Rsv. $14,000.
This flight made a controlled crash landing in the ocean, after about 13 hours of flight, which likely explains why the back flap became unattached. An exceedingly rare cover, as only 200 stamps were overprinted, 18 of those destroyed as they were defective and with only 95 used stamps believed to exist, with far fewer remaining on their original covers.
Accompanied by a 2023 Greene Foundation certificate. (Image)

Group of More Than 80 Covers, 1920s to 1949, noting a set of the Labrador Air Mail issue on First Day Cover, Long Coronation on two Registered letters to London, UK and a first flight Wabush-Katsao to Seven Islands.

Butler covers also and some loose stamps (mint and used) are included; we noted a hinged set of the Labrador Air Mail issue. There may be postmark interest in this lot from the Armstrong find. Generally very good to fine. (Image)

1887 ½c Rose Red Newfoundland Dog, a complete sheet of 100, with full selvedge all around and showing two plate imprints at top and bottom of the sheet. Plate position 95 shows the "scratch" variety at left, and plate position 12 shows the newly discovered (and unlisted by Unitrade) re-entry, as described in detail by Ralph Trimble on his re-entry website and by a great article on this stamp by Walsh and Goldberg. Parts of the sheet are hinge reinforced, and so the sheet has 20 stamps that are hinged because of this, all being in the top and bottom rows, as well as the 4 center stamps, and the remaining 80 stamps are never hinged. The sheet has light gum residue on front, confined entirely in the top and bottom margins, and not affecting any of the stamps. The stamps are overall well centered and we assume there are probably not many of these sheets left intact, in fact the Walsh / Goldberg article referred to above mentions that the authors did a "sheet search" which only revealed one full sheet (of the orange shade) sold in the UK in 2016. Catalogue value does not include premiums for both plate inscriptions. A rare opportunity for any sheet or Newfoundland collectors. (Image)

Cat No: Collection
Collection of Roughly 600 Mint and Used Newfoundland Issues, 1880s-1947, in a few Vario-style stock pages in a binder, and a sheet file. The lot begins with roughly 250 mostly never hinged issues, generally ranging from 1932 onwards, with a spot check indicating sets and partial sets with Scott #s C6-C8 (x4, c.v. $760 total), 233-243 (x3, n.h, $193 total), along with a few stamps and sets cataloguing $20 and up. The lot also includes roughly 20 complete sheets and larger multiples, including #192 (x100, n.h., $1,600 total, two strips of 10, and 2 blocks of 40), with the remainder post-1939 issues. The balance of the lot contains roughly 350 used stamps, ranging from the 1880s to 1947. Online photos show a sampling. We note a few small faults with a few of the used stamps, and some perforation separation with a few of the sheets, with most folded in half to fit in the sheet file. Overall fine to very fine.

Specialized Perforation Collection of the 1923 Pictorial and 1928-31 Publicity Issues, all mounted on 27 specialized Lighthouse pages, showing a wide variety of perforations for the 1923 Pictorial (6 pages, 9 perforation combinations / varieties), 1928 Publicity (12 pages, 21 perforation combinations / varieties), 1929 Publicity unwatermarked, re-engraved (6 pages, 12 perforation combinations / varieties) and 1931 Publicity watermarked, re-engraved (2 pages, 6 perforation combinations / varieties). The collection consists of mainly mint stamps, but there are used here and there (in some cases both), and the perforations were unchecked by us. Catalogue value is for all the least expensive perforations (per Scott), and although there are a few NH here and there, we have catalogued all as hinged, so a conservative approach throughout. All pages scanned online. (Image)
