image 3d Beaver and 6d Consort Imperforates on Folded Cover, mailed from Montréal (very unusual AUG.4.1857 "MONTHEAL" datestamp clear free strike), addressed to Québec City, with partial receiver on back. The folded cover is franked with a 3d red Beaver and a 6d slate grey Consort, both tied to each other and to cover by two strikes of the 4-ring #21. Accompanied by a 2011 Greene Foundation (pink) certificate explaining that "the No. 4 was removed, a heavy crease ironed out while cover was repaired, then No. 4 replaced on cover in original position" repairs which have in our opinion rendered the cover more attractive and desirable. Ex. Carrington and Cantor. Rsv. $2,500. (Image)

image 3d Red Imperforate Beaver on Ribbed, Hard Wove Paper on Cover, mailed from Kingston (OCT.19.1857 broken circle) to Guelph (OCT.20 receiver) via Toronto and Belleville (both OCT.20 transits on back). The cover is franked with a sheet margin single of the ribbed, hard wove paper 3d red imperforate, ideally tied by a double broken circle datestamp (contrary to regulation, scarce). Light horizontal fold does not detract from this desirable cover, both for the cancellation and for the scarce stamp usage. Accompanied by a 2015 Greene Foundation certificate. Rsv. $675. (Image)

image 10c Purple Brown Consort on Cross Border Cover, mailed from Chatham CW (JAN.11.1861 Berri duplex ties fine stamp) to New York city, via G.W.R. JAN.15.1861 broken circle on back. The cover is franked with a 10c purple brown shade Consort, perforated 11.7 all around, likely from the 4th printing order. Small closed tear at bottom and adherence on back, mostly on the back flap, still a scarce postmark and very fine appearing cover, ex. Laycock. (Image)

image 1868 1c Brown Red Large Queen on Laid Paper on Folded Circular, from The Ontario Mutual Fire Insurance Company, containing a Report of Directors, Financial Statement, etc. and dated Feb. 1869. Stamp is cancelled by a tired and plugged 4-ring #19 from London, is very fine centered, and pays the drop letter rate. Folded circular has overall foxing but is complete. Accompanied by a 2014 Greene Foundation certificate stating "stamp only partly adhering to cover, strong vertical crease from becoming unstuck and folded over". A very rarely offered stamp on cover, apparently fewer than 5 exist, and a must have for the serious Large Queen collector. Rsv. $3,000 (Image)
