Large Old Time Collection of Small Queen Stamps and Covers, with many hundreds of stamps (1c to 50c values) many having been selected for postmarks, plus another 250 or so covers, all mounted on hundreds of pages. A quick look at the stamps reveals a good variety of different denominations, postmarks, with c.d.s., squared circles, corks, flags, registered, duplex, etc. Saw a few coloured and precancels as well. Also saw some multiples in pairs, strips or blocks, as well as a few earlier or later stamps here and there. The covers represent a good variety as well, with rates, postmarks and frankings, including mostly 3c, but 5c Trans Atlantic, nice combinations including with Jubilee or many ½c values, etc., also includes 13 stampless era covers from Ontario and Québec. Condition varies, but overall fine. See scans for a taste, better yet inspect to better appreciate.

51/2280

Advanced Collection of Mint in 8 Deluxe Lighthouse Stockbooks, starts off with Jubilees and continues on to about 2008. The owner lists about 17 early stamps which are hinged and notes that the rest (thousands) are all never hinged. Many complete sets including Scroll, Arch, War, Peace, etc, with light duplication of some. The highlight of this collection is the number of identified varieties (from the 60s and 70s to the end), with shades, dies, tagging, perforations, fluorescent papers, etc. We note coils, booklet panes, se-tenant items, blocks and corner blocks, complete booklets (many in the modern era), souvenir sheets (also many), etc. We counted 58x $1 Vancouver stamps with many varieties, a good collection of Caricature stamps with varieties (note a nicely mis-perforated block of the 1c), one volume has only Centennials with many varieties, and more. We counted the face value of all stamps from 1976 to the end which came to $1602.18. Nice overall quality, with a very high catalogue value.
