image The Mitchell Nova Scotia Mining Find, 1860s to 1910s, being well over 900 covers (no contents) mailed to Henry Mitchell, in Little Glace Bay, Old Bridgeport Mines or Dominion, Nova Scotia. There is a good variety of material including different frankings (over 200 3c SQ, Leafs, Numerals, Jubilees, Edwards, Admirals), some stationery cards including a few advertised on back, a lovely 1c SQ private post card from 1897an 1895 8c SQ registered cover, an 1893 3cSQ + 5c RLS registered cover, a carton having been used to mail photos (franked with pair of 1c SQ), a lovely illustrated book post carton wrapper (franked 1c SQ), two 1879 Promissory Notes for $350 each, franked with strips of 4 of 3c SQ paying the tax, a printed circular mailed from Halifax to Little Glace Bay in December 1867 franked with a 1c QV Nova Scotia Cents issue, a few picture postcards, a parcel wrapper franked with 9x 8c SQ plus a lovely red wax seal from the "Chief Gold Commissioner" in Halifax, and more. Also includes many covers mailed from the USA, about 7 from the Philippines and some from GB and other countries. See our Hawaii postal history section for a lot of covers having been mailed to him from there. A nice, original find (these are getting more and more difficult to find) with lots of postmark interest (mostly from Nova Scotia including broken circles, duplex, etc). Obvious opening and other faults on the majority of the lot, still many interesting items. (Image)
