Group of Over 400 First Flight Covers, more or less sorted by franking, for example we counted about 70 #C1, 18 #C3, over 100 #C5, etc (all unchecked for first day of issue or varieties).

Mostly all are from the 1930s, some from the 40s and a handful up to the 1960s. We note 15 Arctic covers presumably send back to Montréal via the Nascopie, but without the markings. Faults can be found, still overall fine or better. Scans only show a small portion, we recommend looking closely at this one. (Image)
