1885 10c Small Queen on Cover to England, mailed from Ottawa on NOV.10.1885 (duplex) to London, England (NOV.23 receiver on back), franked with a single 10c rose magenta Small Queen paying the double weight rate. The cover had originally been endorsed "Free" by Lord Meglund (the military secretary to Lord Lansdowne, the Governor-General of Canada) but had to be franked as it was addressed outside the country. Addressed to Lord Meglund's Mother in Law, as he was married to Mary Caroline Grey, Earl Grey's niece. Missing most of its back flap, still very fine. (Image)

Die Proof of Queen Victoria in Mourning, cut to shape and mounted on a canvas-backed card measuring 54 x 75 mm, with manuscript numbers 84 above, and 953 below the design. This was engraved by Alfred Jones from a photograph believed to have been taken by John Edwin Mayall. The design was used as the basis for the 1868 Canadian Bill stamps as well as the 20c and 50c values of the Small Queen series. It was also the centre piece of the 1868 sample trade sheet that showed all the Large Queens, the One Cent Small Queen and the Bill stamps. A lovely and rare collateral piece. Illustrated in H&N, page 5. (Image)
1893 20c and 50c Widow Weeds, both are used with neat c.d.s. cancels, fresh and well centered. The 20c is extremely fine and the 50c is very fine. (Image)
