Three P1 1c Stationery Cards, 1883 to 1930, first mailed St John's to Harbour Grace JUN.15.1883 with two postmarks applied on the Coastal North Mail Boat; second mailed Humbermouth (JUL.5.1911) to Massachusetts, uprated with a 2c stamp when a 1c would have been sufficient (card is datelined at Bay of Islands); third mailed from St John's (MAY.16.1930 slogan machine) to Charlotte, North Carolina, uprated with a 1c stamp. This card was mailed from stamp dealer Frank F. Wills noting that "this card is for your collection - a real old timer!". Very fine trio. (Image)

Two Early Uses of the 1879 2c UPU Stationery Card, first mailed from St John's on JUL.24.1879 (broken circle) to Battersea, London, England, with a very nice fancy leaf cork cancel, with note on back amusingly reading "No time to write, accept congratulations". The earliest recorded date for this card is only one day before this one, on JUL.23.1879. Second card was mailed from St John's on APR.19.1897 (c.d.s.) to Leipzig, Germany (receiver on front) with a short note reading "Cohs will follow shortly". Both cards are fresh with bright colours and very fine. (Image)
Collection of Eight Interesting P3 Stationery Cards, 1883 to 1903, starts off with an 1883 uprated pre-printed card to New Brunswick; an 1896 card from Musgrave Harbour to St John's with Halls Bay R.T.P.O. No.1 on back (owner notes No. 1 was not listed at the time); an uprated 1898 card to London England (vertical crease), an 1898 uprated (with two ½c black Newfoundland Dog issues) card from Griguet (north of St Anthony) to Toronto Ontario; an uprated 1903 card to Mulhouse Germany, redirected to Wimereux, Pas de Calais in France; a 1903 card mailed to St John's with a very rare Traytown B Bay duplex (used for only a few months, this is the latest recorded date); a 1903 card mailed to Nova Scotia at the 1c rate (underpaid), with Main River crown intaglio mail bag seal postmark (datelined on back "Stephenville Crossing"); and an uprated 1903 card to Antigua, British West Indies (datelined St Jacques / Fortune Bay") with serious crease and staining. An overall fine or better group. (Image)
July 13, 1892 2c UPU Stationery Card to Switzerland with Historical Content, mailed from St John's on JUL.13.1892 and addressed to Switzerland, re-directed twice within. The front shows several Swiss postmarks as well as a red Liverpool SHIP datestamp. The message was written days after the great fire of St John's which occurred on July 8th, and reads "The telegram will have told you of our terrible calamity. Two-thirds of the town were destroyed and five-sixths of the value. The fine buildings are gone - the slums are left. Father and I have nothing but a silver cigar case to remind us of our home. He has £160 in insurance on all his possessions - they were worth at least £500. I have £60 on insurance on at least £200 worth of things. I am well housed in the country with friends. Father is staying with the pilots who have secured a large part of one of the few remaining houses. Father.". A few light creases, still interesting. (Image)
Collection of Six 2c Vermilion Stationery UPU Cards to Foreign Destinations, all mailed between 1883 and 1904 to France (x2), Montréal, Switzerland, Michigan United States and London England. A very nice group which shows a good variety of despatch, transit and arrival postmarks. A few have small or insignificant faults, still an overall very fine group. (Image)
1904 2c UPU Stationery Card Mailed from Ramah, Labrador to London, England, then Germany, datelined "Rama" April 3, 1904 and addressed to London (AUG.12 c.d.s) through St John's (AUG.3 c.d.s.) then redirected to Germany (Strehlen AUG.14 receiver). There are also two interesting datestamps on front: "Labrador T.P.O. Newf'd" (JUL.28) and "U.S. Government / Despatch Agency / London / AUG.12" double oval in purple. Ramah, in northern Labrador was a Moravian mission established in 1871 and abandoned in 1908 due to supply ships having great difficulty with the ice in Ramah Bay. Probably the reason why there was a delay between when this card was written and when it entered the mails. Back has a lengthy neatly-written message in German. Very fine and rare. (Image)
1889 Rare 2c on 1c Surcharged Stationery Post Card, mailed on MAY.15.1889 by Mr. Ohman to Levi and Salaman, in Bermingham England, asking them to send him "one doz. 9 carats sets rings". Postmarked "Late Office St John's / Newf'd" broken circle, which was used between 1886 and 1889, and there is a receiving datestamp from the addressees dated MAY.23. Mr Ohman's Jewelery Store was the designated "Late Office" in 1889 for mailing letters up to 15 minutes before ship departures. Only 700 P3 cards were revalued on May 14th, 1889 due to a shortage of the P4 2c UPU cards. Webb explains that "examples used May-July 1889 are valued at a minimum of $800". Two punch holes at top, still very fine and an extremely rare genuine use of this card. (Image)
1899 P6 UPU Reply Portion of Stationery Card from Northern Labrador to Germany, mailed from Hopedale (datelined Hoffenthal in German) Labrador, with Labrador T.P.O. AUG.5.1899 broken circle and addressed to someone at the Moravian School for Boys in Neuwied, Germany (SEP.1 receiver) through St John's (AUG.15 c.d.s. on back). Hopedale was home for Moravian missionaries from Germany and the Hopedale Mission is still standing today, is a National Historic Site, and is thought to be the oldest wooden-frame building in Canada standing east of Quebec. The message side has a lengthy message in German (would be interesting to read). Staining, still quite rare. Webb lists reply portions of P6 mailed at $500. (Image)
Two P6 2c UPU Stationery Cards, first mailed from St John's OCT.29.1894 to England, actually written aboard the "S.S. Virginia Lake on the North East Coast of Newfoundland" (datelined), fine. Second card was mailed from St John's DEC.18.1895 to Germany, with Herrnhut receiver on front, and still has its reply portion still attached. Stained but scarce. (Image)
