822 CVR   image1938 Aklavik / Tuktoyaktuk Curiosity Cover, mailed at Aklavik N.W.T. on SEP.17.1938 to the United States, this cover would have theoretically travelled on the R.M.S. Nascopie on her way from Hebron, Labrador (there from SEP.14 to SEP 15) to Halifax Nova Scotia (arrived there SEP.19). It bears an unusual "M.S. "Fort James" / TUKTOYAKTUK" two-line handstamp which we cannot explain. The original (genuine) handstamp (which is different in font and size, etc.) was used on letters mailed via the Fort James, when she was stationed in Tuktoyaktuk. The Fort James ship sank on August 5, 1937, and as far as we know, no other ship sailing in the North was given that name. We know of a few other covers with only the second line of the handstamp, mailed about the same time as this cover. Foxing around the stamp, else an interesting item.

Our photos show a sampling and overview only. We note a few small faults along with roughly 30% of the covers being #10 size envelopes. Overall fine to very fine.
