Two 1939 Registered Royal Train Covers Documenting the Back Dating of Covers to May 15 from Quebec City on May 17 or 18, and Montreal on May 18. First cover has Gray's RV-1 English Royal Train flag cancel dated May 15 with 11PM time mark canceling a 20c Fort Garry Gate stamp (but the Quebec backstamp transit c.d.s. shows "AM" MAY.18, indicating it was processed at Quebec. Cover also has the very scarce RV-10 French purple ink Bureau de Postes/Train Royal registration handstamp (RF F) on front and the very scarce English RV-5 purple ink Royal Train oval handstamp dated MAY.15 (RF F) on reverse. Also included is a photocopy of Postmaster Ross's operating instructions indicating registered covers should be hand cancelled, which explains why there are so few registered covers with flag cancels, especially with the French RV-10 registration handstamp. Second cover has a RV-3 English Royal Train c.d.s. dated MAY.15 with "22" time mark canceling the 13c Halifax Harbour stamps and a RV-4 French Train Royal c.d.s. dated MAI.15 with "22" time mark on reverse and a purple ink English RV-9 registration handstamp on front. However, the Montreal transit c.d.s. dated MAY.18 with "16" time mark indicates cover was actually processed at Montreal on May 18. Two very scarce 1939 Royal Train covers of exhibition quality.

Montreal 1-1 Imperial Ensign Flag Cancel, Ideal MAR.21.1896 Impression, ties 3c Small Queen to a fresh CPR cover mailed to Vancouver with backstamp receiver. This cancel is only known used at Montreal on Saturday evening March 21 and from 10am to 11am on Monday March 23, before being replaced by a M2 machine cancel. It is the key to any flag cancel exhibit/collection as it was used on the first day that machine flag cancels were used in Canada. It's rarity, especially on cover, is attested to by the fact that neither the Lingard ORAPEX Grand Award flag cancel exhibit nor the Sessions BNAPEX Grand Award flag cancel exhibit had an example on cover. Also, cover would be a choice edition to a Small Queen exhibit to show a great use of this stamp. There is a repaired tear to the upper left of the dater hub and on the back flap, which do not detract from this elusive flag cancel, which seldom comes to market. Langford's 2008 catalogue value for used on cover is US$1,500 or about C$2,000. (Image)

Montreal 5-1 Jubilee Flag Cancel, Complete Very Fine JUL.14.1897, ties 3c Jubilee to cover addressed to Moncton with backstamp receiver. Cover has been trimmed on 3 sides and has vertical fold at far left, but cancels use from its short July 10-17 period of commercial use is much scarcer than its use on Bakers philatelic covers. In our March 2016 sale, a 5-1 cancel dated JUL.13.1897 on cover, opened on 3 sides and significantly reduced at top (Lot #898) realized $275, attesting to the scarcity of its commercial use. Thorne's updated 2003 CV is $150. (Image)

Ottawa 6-1 Victoria Jubilee Flag Cancels Dated NOV.8.1897, ties 3c Jubilee to cover to Montreal with next day receiver. Cover has opening faults with about 10mm trimmed from the right sides slipping 4 perfs on the stamp and there is residual signs of affixing cover to a page on reverse. However, this is a very scarce flag cancel and is much scarcer than the Ottawa open ended type 9 flag cancel used in conjunction with this cancel. Also majority of these Ottawa Type 6 flag cancels are of poor quality, and this one is clearer than most. Coutts catalogue value is an E-185 slogan cancel is now $250 attesting to its scarcity.
