image 3d Beaver and 6d Consort Imperforates on Folded Cover, mailed from Montréal (very unusual AUG.4.1857 "MONTHEAL" datestamp clear free strike), addressed to Québec City, with partial receiver on back. The folded cover is franked with a 3d red Beaver and a 6d slate grey Consort, both tied to each other and to cover by two strikes of the 4-ring #21. Accompanied by a 2011 Greene Foundation (pink) certificate explaining that "the No. 4 was removed, a heavy crease ironed out while cover was repaired, then No. 4 replaced on cover in original position" repairs which have in our opinion rendered the cover more attractive and desirable. Ex. Carrington and Cantor. Rsv. $2,500. (Image)

image 3d Red Imperforate Beaver on Ribbed, Hard Wove Paper on Cover, mailed from Kingston (OCT.19.1857 broken circle) to Guelph (OCT.20 receiver) via Toronto and Belleville (both OCT.20 transits on back). The cover is franked with a sheet margin single of the ribbed, hard wove paper 3d red imperforate, ideally tied by a double broken circle datestamp (contrary to regulation, scarce). Light horizontal fold does not detract from this desirable cover, both for the cancellation and for the scarce stamp usage. Accompanied by a 2015 Greene Foundation certificate. Rsv. $675. (Image)

image 10c Purple Brown Consort on Cross Border Cover, mailed from Chatham CW (JAN.11.1861 Berri duplex ties fine stamp) to New York city, via G.W.R. JAN.15.1861 broken circle on back. The cover is franked with a 10c purple brown shade Consort, perforated 11.7 all around, likely from the 4th printing order. Small closed tear at bottom and adherence on back, mostly on the back flap, still a scarce postmark and very fine appearing cover, ex. Laycock. (Image)

image 1868 1c Brown Red Large Queen on Laid Paper on Folded Circular, from The Ontario Mutual Fire Insurance Company, containing a Report of Directors, Financial Statement, etc. and dated Feb. 1869. Stamp is cancelled by a tired and plugged 4-ring #19 from London, is very fine centered, and pays the drop letter rate. Folded circular has overall foxing but is complete. Accompanied by a 2014 Greene Foundation certificate stating "stamp only partly adhering to cover, strong vertical crease from becoming unstuck and folded over". A very rarely offered stamp on cover, apparently fewer than 5 exist, and a must have for the serious Large Queen collector. Rsv. $3,000 (Image)

It was then returned to San Francisco on MAR.16, then Vancouver on MAR.19, through Rossland on MAR.22, onto a train on the same day and arrived Windsor on MAR.26. A well travelled and documented cover, with a few faults still lovely. Fine-very fine and both sides scanned online. Rsv. $275. (Image)

image 3c Admiral Endwise Coil Early Use, mailed from Hamilton on NOV.5.1921 to Smithville (NOV.7 receiver duplex on back), franked with a single 3c brown Admiral perforated 12 horizontally. According to Allan Steinhart this is "very rare earliest known use on cover". Perhaps a few earlier dates have been published, but they are on stamp (not cover) and according to Léopold Beaudet these have either never been confirmed, or are possible date errors. An essential item for the serious Admiral collector, very fine. (Image)

image Extensive Collection of Peace Issue Postal History, offered intact as received, with 97 covers collected for foreign destinations, 12 cross-border covers, 45 domestic items (mostly covers) and 19 First Day Covers for a total of 173. The collection includes a wide variety of material including better frankings, rates, postmarks, usages, postage due, censored, registered, special delivery, and much more. There is not much duplication of either of these collecting interests, as the owner tried to purchase only different items for his collection. The foreign destinations include all of the usual suspects, but also many better such as Morocco, Nairobi East Africa, Tasmania, Belgian Congo, Hong Kong, Mauritius, British Guiana, South Africa, Turkey, Ceylon, Gold Coast, Burma, Israel, Hawaii, Cyprus, India, Bolivia, Malta, Peru, Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Argentina, Iceland, Bulgaria, Uruguay, and more. The domestic material is quite varied as well, with large bank tag frankings, business reply mail, special delivery, registered, single frankings, officials, C.O.D. tags, householder / boxholder rate, etc. The collection includes one cacheted FDC, as well as several non-cacheted first day covers, including business corner cards, as well as a good variety of frankings, including high denomination. The collection also includes other interesting items like a misperforated 20c used on cover, a Christmas card depicting the 8c, a 1948 Postal Information booklet for postmasters, and an excellent BNAPS reference handbook on the subject "The Rates and Postal History of Canada's Peace Issue 1946-1952" by Mike Street (retail $49). A mostly fine to very fine collection, with only twelve #10 covers and a great opportunity for collectors or dealers alike, see our many scans online. (Image)
