image Three 5c RLS Registered Covers, 1891-1893, each is franked with a 3c Small Queen and a 5c RLS. The first was mailed from Ottawa (boxed registration datestamp MR.6.1891) to Toronto, with fancy cork cancels. Second is an American stamped stationery cover mailed Port Colborne, Ont (MAY.23.1891 c.d.s.) to Milwaukee Wisconsin. Third was mailed from St John NB (with free strike c.d.s. JAN.13.1893, plus oval parcel cancels tying the stamps) to Digby NS. A few tiny faults do not detract, overall very fine. AC (Image)

image Two 2c Registered Covers with Interesting Frankings, first was mailed from Birchtown NS (MAR.23.1893 broken circles) to Halifax (MAR.24.1893 receiver) with Barrington NS MAR 23 transit. This cover is franked with two pairs of 1c Small Queens plus two 2c RLS singles paying a total of 8c. Second cover was mailed from Homeville NS (lovely MAR.20.1899 broken circle free strike) to Toronto (MAR.24 receiver and Sydney transit), franked with a 1c QV Leaf, 2c QV Numeral and two 2c RLS paying the 7c registration rate. Late use for these, but probably not much mail originating from this small Cape Breton town. Both covers are very fine and the latter is ex. Vincent G. Greene (with his green handstamp on back).

image 1880s 5c blue green Registration Stamp with 2c Small Queen Offset, a mint block of four, with full original hinged gum. The bottom right stamp shows two light impressions of an offset likely caused by this sheet being placed on top of a freshly printed sheet of 2c Small Queens, which would prove that they were printed at the same time. A similar anomaly is described in Harrison as "RRR". A lovely block, with rich colour and all four stamps well centered and fresh, very fine. Stamps alone catalogue $880. AC (Image)

image 1876 8c blue Registration Stamp, a used single with two strikes of a LONDON / PAID c.d.s. receiver in red dated DEC.10.1875, fine. Harrison states on page 293 that the 8c RLS stamps were available by October 1875, but that none are known used before March 2, 1876, so this is a major discovery. To put it in perspective, the earliest recorded 2c RLS is dated DEC.13.1875. A rare and desirable stamp which also happens to show part of the counter "8" at top. AC (Image)

image Collection of 2c, 5c and 8c Registration Stamps with Imprints and Counters, includes three 2c values, one with imprint at left, one at bottom and one with nice "TWO CENTS" counter at top. Four 5c values, three used copies with imprints at top, bottom and right plus one mint hinged copy with imprint at top. Four mint or unused 8c values, one with imprint at bottom, one with "8" counter at top (pulled perfs at right) and two with "EIGHT" counters at top. Evidently, all of these are partial, being on single stamps, but have been selected to show as much of these markings as possible, as opposed to just small portions as is often seen. A very nice group. AC (Image)
