image Group of 76 Better Covers and Cards, 1865 to 1947, most being Queen Victoria era and most are sleeved. We counted 3 "First Cents" covers, two 5c and a 10c with crowned House of Commons on front (Davis #CP-1) and an unusual double circle "MONTREAL POST OFFICE / C.E" datestamp on back (AM / DE 18 67). Also counted 44 QV franked covers (majority SQ) with all sorts of frankings, usages, postmarks, some registered, etc. Also noted a purple Montreal 1893 c.d.s alongside a purple "RECEIVED WITHOUT CONTENTS" handstamp, some nice fancy postmarks, advertising, flags, a wrapper with 1c SQ, a Coaticook oval datestamp, and much more. Five QV era stationery cards, another 12 covers from the 1900s to the 30s, with a nice Nascopie cover ("NON P.O. POINT", River Clyde N.W.T.), censored, WWII re-used cover, postage due, lovely 5c Royal Williams FDC and more. Last but certainly not least is a group of eleven Newfoundland covers, with censored, some R.P.O. postmarks, 1939 registered to Ireland, etc. Faults (usually small) can be found on some, still a very interesting lot and well worth a close look, despite our online scans.
