It was then returned to San Francisco on MAR.16, then Vancouver on MAR.19, through Rossland on MAR.22, onto a train on the same day and arrived Windsor on MAR.26. A well travelled and documented cover, with a few faults still lovely. Fine-very fine and both sides scanned online. Rsv. $275. (Image)

image 3c Admiral Endwise Coil Early Use, mailed from Hamilton on NOV.5.1921 to Smithville (NOV.7 receiver duplex on back), franked with a single 3c brown Admiral perforated 12 horizontally. According to Allan Steinhart this is "very rare earliest known use on cover". Perhaps a few earlier dates have been published, but they are on stamp (not cover) and according to Léopold Beaudet these have either never been confirmed, or are possible date errors. An essential item for the serious Admiral collector, very fine. (Image)

image Extensive Collection of Peace Issue Postal History, offered intact as received, with 97 covers collected for foreign destinations, 12 cross-border covers, 45 domestic items (mostly covers) and 19 First Day Covers for a total of 173. The collection includes a wide variety of material including better frankings, rates, postmarks, usages, postage due, censored, registered, special delivery, and much more. There is not much duplication of either of these collecting interests, as the owner tried to purchase only different items for his collection. The foreign destinations include all of the usual suspects, but also many better such as Morocco, Nairobi East Africa, Tasmania, Belgian Congo, Hong Kong, Mauritius, British Guiana, South Africa, Turkey, Ceylon, Gold Coast, Burma, Israel, Hawaii, Cyprus, India, Bolivia, Malta, Peru, Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Argentina, Iceland, Bulgaria, Uruguay, and more. The domestic material is quite varied as well, with large bank tag frankings, business reply mail, special delivery, registered, single frankings, officials, C.O.D. tags, householder / boxholder rate, etc. The collection includes one cacheted FDC, as well as several non-cacheted first day covers, including business corner cards, as well as a good variety of frankings, including high denomination. The collection also includes other interesting items like a misperforated 20c used on cover, a Christmas card depicting the 8c, a 1948 Postal Information booklet for postmasters, and an excellent BNAPS reference handbook on the subject "The Rates and Postal History of Canada's Peace Issue 1946-1952" by Mike Street (retail $49). A mostly fine to very fine collection, with only twelve #10 covers and a great opportunity for collectors or dealers alike, see our many scans online. (Image)
