Huge Collection / Stock of Town Cancels on Stamps or Stamps on Piece, with 5 banker's boxes, each containing 6 red boxes, each containing about 700-800 102 cards (one stamp per card), so likely a total of over 22,000 stamps in all. The boxes are arranged by province (each one is represented) and the stamps (and postmarks) appear to date mostly from the 1930s to 1980s, but we saw many before that as well. The quality of the postmarks varies from crisp, socked on the nose, to readable, and the great majority of the 102 cards have the town name indicated, as well as a retail price, ranging from 10c to as high as $15. A rare opportunity to acquire such a large quantity of town cancels. (Image)

The collection is quite extensive in terms of different types of these cancels, with different sizes, configurations, numbers, etc. We counted a total of 13 covers, cards or stationery items (these are tough to find with parcel cancels, and include cross border and overseas items) plus over 830 stamps, mostly made up of ½c to 50c Small Queens, plus other issues from the time period. Most of the items pictured in the book "Canada Oval Parcel Cancels - A Postal History Study" (published by B.N.A.P.S. in 2020) are in this lovely collection. We scanned all the covers, cards, etc., and have only scanned a sample of the stamps. A great opportunity to acquire such an extensive collection, either to continue, or to exhibit. (Image)
