We counted 96 stamps in all, with about half and half #29 and #30, with a good range of shades, etc. Most of the postmarks are segmented corks but we noted about 6 Ottawa Crowns and other more fancy segmented from Ottawa, and more. A nice quality lot. (Image)

Superior Collection of Fancy Cancels on Large Queen Stamps, all displayed on 7 black stock sheets plus another 23 dealer 105 cards. The collection includes about 190 stamps, with a very wide range of different cancels on different denominations, way to many to list, so all are scanned online. We note better items such as a pair of deep blue 15c on thicker paper, very fancy geometrics, "PREPAID BY PUBLISHER", mail bag seals, a CANADIAN PKT datestamp, crosses, leafs, stars, an OFFICIAL Hechler overprint, RRY cancels just to name a few. Many sought after cancels in this one, mostly choice strikes, as well as more common, and fairly mixed, but would look nice all sorted. About one third of the stamps are identified by the owner and overall fine. (Image)
