Huge Accumulation of Well Over 2,500 World War II Canadian Military Covers, filling a banker's box, with a wide variety of material, including mostly covers and air letters, but also some postcards. Loaded with useful material, including postmarks of all kinds, censored material and much, much more, in fact too much to list, so please have a look at our pictures to aid in your appreciation of the lot, or even better plan on coming in to view it in person. One picture shows the bottom row in the box (as seen from above) and in the other pictures we aimed to show a good representation of the top layer. The new owner of this group will not be disappointed, as it contains many items dealer priced in the $10 to $25 each, with many more above that. Quality is as expected for this type of lot, but overall better than average. Should be well worth our low estimate. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (Scan 3) (Scan 4) (Scan 5) (All Scans)
