image 1938 KGVI Pictorial Issue Group of 52 Various First Day Covers, with a variety of cachets, including some scarce, many different frankings (singles, pairs, blocks of 4 and combinations and one with a complete set of 6) and destinations such as Sweden, Bermuda, England, Australia, Hungary, one with a nice Petawawa Camp F.P.O. c.d.s., and many to the USA. We counted 31 uncacheted covers (some with corner cards or private cachets) and 9 covers franked with a $1 Chateau de Ramezay. An interesting lot, with a few small stains, still overall very fine, see scans for a sampling. (Image)

image 1939.MAY.15 Royal Visit Issue Extensive Collection of 341 Mostly Different Cacheted First Day Covers, with about 182 different cachets, different either for cachet colour or variety, many different frankings (complete sets, blocks, singles, etc.).

Many other desirable items throughout, including destinations such as Chungking China (with receiver), South Australia, New Zealand (receiver) and South Africa (receiver), some Royal Visit labels and various inserts, also noted a few sets of same cachet used from different towns, a good variety of different postmarks, including French Royal Train, etc. Includes 55 non-cacheted covers (some of these with corner cards). A few faults as expected with such a quantity, with only about 6 oversize covers, still overall very fine, and a difficult collection to assemble. See scans for a small sampling. (Image)
