LETTER Handstamp on 2c Map Cover, with no indication of a despatch, but tying the stamp, and with Toronto receiver dated APR.8.1899 on back. Winmill reports only one example on an 1898 2c Map stamp (no illustration in his book), and we believe it
to be this one. (Scan a) |

 1899
Montreal Inverted Bickerdike Flag Machine Cancel dated SEP.21.1899 (could also be SEP.27?), with a small part of the inverted obliterator off the cover, but appears to be a F8(V) - 99ae, and if so would be the only known combination of this dater
hub and obliterator flag. Addressed to Hamilton, with a SEP.28 receiver on back (also Bickerdike dater hub) and DEC.29 carrier handstamp on front. Reduced at left, still fine and scarce. (Scan a) |

1898 Second Day of Use, being an illustrated advertising cover from the Grand Union Hotel, mailed Ottawa (almost perfect strike of Bickerdike flag) to Rock Island Qué. through Coaticook (DEC.9 transit on back). Franked with a 2c Map and a 1c
Numeral, paying the 3c domestic letter rate. As the2c Map stamp was issued before the Jan.1.1899 rate change, it was necessary to uprate such frankings. (Scan a) |

 January 1,
1899 First Day of Lowered 2c Domestic Rate, a William Bryce corner card cover mailed Toronto (Bickerdike flag) to Porte [sic] Hope (JAN.2 squared circle receiver on back). Christmas day 1898 fell on a Sunday, and many people purposely mailed
their letters on that day, but when it comes to January 1st, also a Sunday, far fewer people mailed on that day, and as result fewer than 10 covers are know dated that day with this franking. Very fine. Ex. Bain and Fawn. (Scan a) |

 2c Map
Bisected to Pay the 1c Drop Letter Rate, mailed Montreal on FEB.21.1899 this cover was mailed using a diagonally bisected Map stamp (upper half) to pay the 1c drop letter rate. The stamp is properly tied by a Montreal Bickerdike flag machine
cancel. We are aware of only two other bisects of the Map stamp, one bisected vertically from Upper Stewiacke NS on FEB.18.1899 (ex. Fawn) and another bisected diagonally (possibly the lower half of this stamp?) mailed in Montreal on FEB.25.1899 to a
different address but also cancelled with the same Bickerdike machine (also ex. Fawn). (Scan a) |
