 1898 (Dec.17) Toronto
Bickerdike Flag "F8(A)" with Inverted Obliterator, a 2c Map + 1c Numeral cover mailed on DEC.17.1898 (with inverted obliterator) to Port Hope (next day squared circle receiver). Not only was this cover mailed with a 2c Map stamp 8 days before its
official first day of issue (DEC.25), but the inverted obliterator is described by Larry Paige in his exhibit as "Only the date Dec.17, 1899 is recorded with two examples on record. Example shown [the one offered here] is the only one of two reported
that the indicia is idenfifyable. The indicia "A", as shown, is the only reported Toronto invert". A very rare flag postmark (both the Lingard and Heasman exhibits did not have one) and a must have for the serious enthusiast. Ex Larry R. Paige.

Bickerdike on Gloria Mundi Illustrated Card, mailed on JUL.30.1898 (Type F8 barred flag Bickerdike complete impression) to Hamilton (JUL.14 Bickerdike hub receiver on front), franked with a 1c green Leaf issue, tied by the flag. A colourful

 1899 Montréal
Bickerdike Flag "F8v" with Inverted Obliterator, a 2c Map cover mailed on SEP.21.1899 (at midnight, with inverted obliterator) to Hamilton (SEP.28 receiver). As there is a SEP.29 Hamilton delivery cancel on front, the day of the despatch is
probably incorrect, and should read SEP.27. Very fine and few of these exist, as the error was usually quickly corrected. Very fine.

 Group of 6 Different
Toronto Exposition Bickerdike Slogan Flag Cancels, with two different styles, both reading "Canada's Exposition / Toronto / AUG.26 to SEP.7". This group includes Types F10(A, with Leigh dater 01e), F11(B, with Leigh dater 01e), F11(C, with Leigh
dater 01d, second period), F12(D, with Leigh dater 01d, first period), F12(E, with Leigh dater 01c) and F12(F, with Leigh dater 01b). Rob Leigh spent years closely analyzing the relationship between the various dater and obliterator uses, and as can
be seen here, there were variations in the combinations of dater / obliterator uses in different periods (Rob's ERD and LRD dates indicated on his tabs are those of the particular dater hub / obliterator combinations). A choice group, all franked
with 2c Numeral issues, with all fully legible and complete impressions. These are the first flag cancels in Canada to have any kind of advertisement. (Scan 1)

 1900 Toronto Hubless
Barred Flag Bickerdike Cancel, used on a 2c Numeral illustrated advertising cover from the Plymouth Binder Twine Agency to Armadale. This Type F8 (Die C) flag obliterator was meant to be used on third class mail, but in this case was probable
used by mistake, with a Toronto 3-ring Orb datestamp (JUN.26.1900) added to replace the missing machine dater hub. An interesting usage on a pristine cover (barely reduced at right).
