image Study of 2c and 5c Registration Stamp Varieties, with 12 stamps, showing varieties such as a 2c with double perforations at left, two 5c with prominent pre-printing creases, a 2c showing an ink smear in bottom margin, an unused 5c with uneven perforations, a mint and a used 5c which appear to be imperforate, two 5c with right outer frameline missing (quite clearly showing this, listed but unpriced in Unitrade as F2iii), and two 5c described by owner as "paper movement during printing" each showing fuzziness in many parts and a 2c which is quite mis-perforated. A useful group for the specialist. AC (Image)

image Two Cross Border Registered Covers Mailed by Halifax Stamp Dealer Harrison Hart, both are franked with a 3c Small Queen and a 5c RLS, both were sent to a Dr. Chas. E. Abbott in Andover Massachusetts and both have their contents, being letters written on Western Union Telegraph Company forms. The first (which has a lovely H. L. Hart advertising handstamp in purple) was mailed on MAY.1.1888 and the letter inside reads "Quote lowest for one Canada Shilling and for both reply.". The second which was mailed several years later on FEB.29.1892 (leap year) reads "Kindly hold both twelve pence / letter mailed today". Harrison Hart was known at the time to have one of the finest collections in North America, he started collecting at the age of 19 in 1884, and died in 1928. Both covers are very fine. AC (Image)
