Cat No: Northern Ontario

Sign up for the Provenance Catalog (here.)

image Desirable Lot of Approximately 1,550 Picture Postcards, From the Early 1900s to 1950s, mostly depicting Northern Ontario communities with a strong thematic on mining and lumbering. We noted obvious strength in real photos and white borders. All are housed in three "shoe box" style boxes, with many sorted by city. We estimate that about 10% of the postcards were postally used, with many scarce town postmarks such as Whitefish, Monck, Temagami and Temagami Park, Wasing, Berryland, Beaumaris (LRD), Skead (ERD), Cartier, Cumnock (LRD) etc. Also included are over 100 black and white photographs from the early 1900s, featuring scenes from Northern Ontario and mining activities. A much better than average lot, with great historical value on the development of Ontario Northern mining communities, and a treasure trove for the postcard collector, dealer or online reseller. There are so many nice postcards that we had great difficulty selecting items to scan, and therefore we highly recommend viewing this lot to better appreciate its valuable and interesting contents. Clean lot, overall fine to very fine. (Image)

Sign up for the Provenance Catalog (here.)

image Lot of Approximately 275 Real Photo Postcards, consisting of black and white portraits of individuals or family photos. Although their origin is not generally documented, the group came in a consignment of postcards depicting scenes from Northern Ontario. All appear to be dating back to the early 1900s with the odd one postally used. An interesting group of postcards, with no doubt some historical interest such as the lovely photo postcard of Private Harold Dowling (depicted on his bicycle described as being a postman) who later became postmaster of the Ohaton post office in Alberta (December 1929). Also included are approximately 80 postcards featuring American and worldwide movie stars. Seldom offered in such a quantity. Clean lot, overall fine to very fine. (Image)
