image Group of Modern Pre-Production Essays and Proofs, from the personal files of retired Canada Post designer Bernard J. Reilander, who designed or oversaw the design and production of these items. The lot starts with a block of four of the 1986 34c Science and Technology stamps with denomination obliterators, printed on gummed stamp paper (along with an issued block for comparison) and two imperforate, but tagged, souvenir sheets of the 1987 34c Exploration of Canada issue also printed on gummed stamp paper; one is identified as AP-1642-2 on the back and the other is AP-642-3 with the latter having denomination obliterators. Another interesting item is a file copy of the 1992 "signed" souvenir sheet for Canada '92 - the back showing handwritten file #CP4864. Also included is a colour gel of the Stockholmia 86 International Exhibition Card, used for proofing by Canada Post staff just prior to printing (plus several printed versions on various papers) and a set of 1976 Christmas promotional items.

This lot is ideal for the student of Canadian exhibitions and postal stationary collectors looking for special event uses of Webb-listed items.

image Mint and Used Collection and Stock, from late 1800s to Modern, displayed on album pages, stock sheets, and 102 cards. We noted a great variety of items such as sets, plate blocks, booklets and booklet panes, sheetlets, officials, some back of the book representation including registered, airmails, officials, some perfins, a collection of precancelled (SQs to Admirals), Angus Short signed plate blocks and watercolor. There are a few pages of plate blocks in black mounts including Unitrade #321 ($1 Totem Pole, cat $50). Also included is a small accumulation of Newfoundland issues including a repaired Bartlett letterhead, postage dues, etc. A summary inspection of stamps in mounts, revealed some mint never hinged issues. Further inspection may yield some dividends. Faults to be expected. Overall fine to very fine. (Image)
