image Canada Post Office Newspaper Mail Bag, inscribed "1942" featuring the George VI crown and an upright "NEWSPAPERS". The bag has good honest wear with a few light stains and no significant holes or signs of repair. The bag measures 28 inches wide and 40 inches long. These bags are quite scarce and only the second we have handled. Great addition for the postal artifact collector, or displayed in a stamp den. (Image)

image Canada Post Office Air Mail Bag, inscribed "1950" featuring the George VI crown and inscribed "Canada Air Mail A-12". The bag is made of a softer material leading us to believe that it was used in a sorting room and not necessarily transported. The condition is excellent with no apparent holes and only a few light stains. The bag measures 30 inches wide and 37 inches long. These bags are quite scarce and the only one we have handled. Great addition for the postal artifact collector, or displayed in a stamp den. (Image)

image Canada Post Office Mail Bag, inscribed "1919" featuring the George V crown and two vertical red stripes. The bag has signs of repair and some staining due to good honest wear. The bag measures 30 inches wide and 40 inches long. Bags from that time period are quite scarce and would be a great addition to a postal artifact collection, or displayed in a stamp den. (Image)

image Canada Post Booklet Dispenser, from the late 1970s to early 1980s, in great condition with minor rust spots and light surface scratches. This dispenser was designed to be wall mounted and is made of sturdy metal. We note that this unit comes with one key but requires another key to open the front panel. All instructions and branding is bilingual. Despite the fact that this dispenser is about 40 years old, it is not often offered for auction, especially in this nice condition, and would be a great item for the postal artifact collector, or displayed in a stamp den.

image Canada Post Office Hand Operated Canceling Machine, from 1971 to 2000, model HD-2, manufactured by the International Peripheral Systems company (I.P.S.). The machine is in good working condition with the dater hub indicating it was previously used by the Wakefield post office in the province of Québec (see photo of impression made by machine). Prior to 1971, small post offices were not usually supplied with canceling machines. Mail from these offices was cancelled with handstamps. In 1971, Canada Post Office began supplying them with the hand-driven Model HD-2 IPS canceling machines. Over 400 post offices eventually received the Model HD-2. This lot will not be shipped due to its weight. These machines are rarely offered for auction in this condition. (Image)

image Three-Volume Bileski Canada Album, Literature, Supplies and Vintage Board Game, plus other interesting items, including a hard cover book commemorating the opening of Canada's National Postal Museum. Of note is one "General Record of Registered Letters" from late 1800's from Nova Scotia (in poor condition). Older catalogues and references (Lowe, Bileski, Walsh, Reiche, etc.) includes a handbook on NATO stamps and postmarks and a 1920 first edition of William Smith's "The History of the Post Office in British North America 1639-1870." The board game "Post Office Game" was released by the Hasbro company in 1968 (product #2720) and promised "Fun and Action for the Whole Family"; this one seems to be complete and is in good condition, with some typical corner wear on the box. This varied lot also includes two empty stockbooks, a hand-held UV lamp, a colour filter, a position finder, a few new issue lobby posters and a Signoscope T2 (missing power supply). See photos for a good look at all the items included. (Image)
