Correspondence from the Nisbet Family of Scotland, 1685 to 1723, consisting of 47 letters (some with postmarks), three receipts and two marriage contracts. The marriage contracts consist of a March 27, 1688 contract between William Nisbet and Jean Bennett (very lengthy) and the second is dated April 2, 1718 between William Nisbet and Christian Bennett (very short in length). The letters pertain mostly of family matters between brothers, and are addressed to, or written by William Nisbet (1666-1724), Walter Nisbet and Thomas Nisbet (brother of William). Most of the letters were written in London or Edinburgh, and one was written in Rotterdam. A fascinating read, as most of these are fairly legible for the time period. Some of the documents have a filing number attached to them by archival (?) tape. Should easily be worth our low estimate of C$10 per item. Our representative pictures should give a good idea of the contents of this correspondence. (Image)

Symbol: O
Extensive (A to S) Collection of Jamaica Town Cancels on Stamp or on Stamp on Piece, with over 1,800 items (blocks and multiples counted as one), neatly displayed on pages filling a thick Scott Specialty album. Postmarks run from Aberdeen to Skibo, on stamps and pieces from the 1890s to about 1965. We note a good assortment of postmark types, with small and large c.d.s., small and large oval postmarks, serrated, double rings, black, purple and more. There is also a large representation of different towns, as each town is represented with between one and 4 items, with the average being one or two per town. Kingston however has 26, including registered, street letter box, paquebot, and branch offices. A very nice collection, and it is evident the collector would only settle for perfect strikes, with the majority of the "on stamp" strikes being socked on the nose. A unique opportunity for the specialist, or person wishing to continue the challenge. Scanned pages are representative only. (Image)

Almost all items were mailed to England or Scotland and some of the letter contents were transcribed by typewriter. Many faults and partial strikes as expected, still many items that are fine to very fine and a rarely offered group. This collection was written-up and owned by Bob Topaz, a well known Jamaican postal history authority, and was sold to the current owner in a 1996 British Caribbean Philatelic Study Group auction where it was described as being out of circulation since the last 30 years (now making it almost 60 years). It had a U$300 estimate and sold for U$625. We only scanned a small portion of the lot. (Image)
