December 25, 1898 Pink Unaddressed "Mulready" Cover, reading "Christmas Day 1898" at bottom and franked with a 2c Map stamp, tied by a (dubious) BERLIN / ONT DE 25 / 98 c.d.s. cancel, with an additional strike on back. An article in the October 1977 Maple Leaves reports that these were produced by the Peterborough Review Printing and Publishing Co. (Ltd.) to commemorate the inauguration of the Imperial Penny Postage and were inspired by the Mulready envelopes of 1840. R.B. Winmill in his book The Evolution of the Penny Postage and The Postal History of the Canadian 1898 Map Stamp states that "Unaddressed De 25 98 covers are at best philatelic, but more probably are outright fakes". We agree that the postmarks on these could be fakes, but there are a number of these exact same covers mailed (from Peterborough) to England or Ireland, and these just happen not to have been mailed. Non the less an interesting conversation piece which is accompanied by a descriptive insert in English and German. Very fine. (Image)

Nicely written up on a page, very scarce with only a few dozen known. Light toning else very fine. Ex. Liptak collection. (Image)
