image 1932 Incoming Eastern Arctic Patrol Cover to the Captain of the Hudson Bay Company ship SS Ungava. Letter mailed at the 5c rate from Hamilton on AUG.1.1932 to Greenland, via Denmark to meet with the ship when it stopped on a courtesy call to drop off mail to Europe. Has a purple boxed "Eastern Arctic / Mail Service. / Hudson's Bay Co. / S.S. UNGAVA" Sept. 7, 1932 receiver on the front, which is later than all reported dates in O'Reilly "Northwest Territories Postal Cancellations 1907-1986" book, which is still the authority on the area. O'Reilly only reports one bag of mail carried on the 1932 trip, so all mail from the Ungava is quite scarce. Edge wear, else fine-very fine. (Image)

image 1946 Cover Mailed to Germany, Returned to Sender in Ambulance Cover, 1c + 4c War issues on cover mailed from Toronto on DEC.17.1946 to Germany, probably couldn't be found and was sent back with two RETOUR handstamps on front, plus a number of notations in German on back. Arrived back Toronto (oval datestamp) on FEB.25.1947 and sent to District Director of Postal Services / Toronto (purple circular datestamp dated next day), then on to Ottawa, where it received a bright red INSPECTION DIVISION / DEAD LETTER OFFICE (bilingual) machine cancel (with dater at right) dated MAR.24.1947 (the first we have seen of this machine). They probably opened the letter and found the addressee's address in Toronto and mailed it back to him in an ambulance cover with the same bright red machine (this one is undated) with 3c in postage dues and a note reading "You owe Postie" beside. The cover was mailed back with an accompanying form giving a lengthy explanation of why it is useful to put your name and address on the outside of your letters (in both French and English). Very interesting items. (Image)
