Cat No: Collection
Collection of Christmas Seals, Sheets and Covers, 1927 to 2021, with thousands of mostly mint stamps (singles, booklets, blocks, sheets) plus used on covers on album pages and black Vario sheets in three binders. The breadth and depth of coverage in this collection is above average, including some early precursors to the regular issues that began in 1927 in both English and French. The collection is complete in the period for singles and has an abundance of extra material including booklets (complete or panes only for 1938, 1939 and 1940) and progressive proofs (1941, 1942, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1948, 1963, 1979, 1990 and others), gift tags, and local and regional letters from the Tuberculosis societies, with which the seals arrived. The material is fine to very fine and has the makings of a future exhibit. There is duplication of many sheets, singles and multiples. This very clean, well-organized collection also includes two excellent references: The National Christmas Seals of Canada 1927-2008 (Beattie, Chung and Vogel) and Green's Catalog of Canadian Local and Provincial Tuberculosis Seals (Christmas Seal and Charity Stamp Society, Revised 2007). Our photos capture only a small portion of the collection, which would benefit from in-person viewing to appreciate the full contents. (Image)

1911 5c and $1 British Columbia Telephone Engraved Compound Die Proof, in black, with die number 327 at bottom, signed (and dated 1911) between both stamps by the engraver Silas Allen. Mr Silas Robert Allen (1888-1958) was considered the founder of the Canadian school of engraving and first great Canadian security engraver of the twentieth century. He engraved many Canadian stamps from at least 1911 to the 1950s including items such as the 1928 20c Harvester, 1947 Bell issue, $1 Fisherman, $1 Totem, and many more. The British Columbia Telephone frank design changed in 1911, and basically kept this new design until 1968. We believe this might be one of his first, if not his very first engraving, kept as a memento, as it was found in a jewelry box owned by his niece (when he died in 1958 all of his belongings, except for this item, had been sold at auction). A very rare item and an early example of a signed Canadian compound die proof. (Image)
