76 Canada #2110i. VF mint NH example of the rare Unitrade catalogue recognized perforation variety of the original 2005 issue "Homer Watson" souvenir sheet. The perforations that usually extend to the sheet edge above and below the stamps on the common sheet stop at the upper and lower stamp edge in this rare variety. Verified and newly listed in the 2020 Unitrade catalogue (fifteen years after the original issue date!) with extremely few examples coming to market in this time. An exceptional chance to grab what could easily become a frighteningly rare perforation variety. Note that a sheet recently sold for $550.00 in an unreserved auction! Estimate $500.00 $220.00
77 Canada #2847a (BK623), 3051A (BK686). Two recalled error booklets. The first is the 2015 UNESCO World Heritage Sites (Hoodoos) Booklet, the scarce recalled $7.20 self-adhesive booklet of six x $1.20 stamps, including two of the misidentified "Hoodoos". Withdrawn from post offices in a panic by Canada Post, not many reached private hands. The second booklet is the famous November 2017 recalled Hanukkah booklet. This booklet was recalled in a panic by Canada Post (almost within hours of the official issue date) due to the use of the Star of David as a design element, both on the cover and on the pane. The official explanation was that the Menorah is the symbol of Hanukkah, not the Star of David. The new revised booklet has a different cover and pane design. A nice modern OOPs! duo. Estimate $150.00 $80.00
78 Canada #BK106-BK109. Two complete sets of four VF condition intact mint NH 1989 issue Christmas booklets consisting of the 33c ($3.30), 38c ($3.80), 44c ($2.20) and 76c ($3.80) value booklets. These are a particularly scarce series of booklets. Nice to have two sets in order to display the covers as well as the panes themselves. 2021 Unitrade $284.00 $150.00
79 Canada #BK118. Wholesale lot of 20 complete mint NH $9.75 "Moving the Mail" booklets, a 1990 issue "Prestige" style booklet containing 25 x 39c Canada Post Mail Van commemoratives, all laid out in various combinations (inward and outward facing vans). A very useful lot for retailing, as these booklets are scarce. Total face value of all 20 booklets is $195.00. 2021 Unitrade $640.00 $120.00
80 Canada Unitrade #C5i. VF MNH example of a very distinct example of the scarce yellow brown shade of the 1935 issue 6c Daedalus airmail. Much harder to find than the catalogue value would suggest. Normal red brown stamp included for comparison. 2021 Unitrade $129.00 $140.00
81 Canada #C5II. Fresh and VF mint NH example of the "Moulting Wing" variety on the 1935 issue 6c red brown Daedalus airmail stamp (plate #1, LR pane, position 14). A scarce and popular constant plate flaw. 2021 Unitrade $225.00 $130.00
82 Canada #E4. VF Mint NH JUMBO margin example of the 1930 issue 20c henna brown "TWENTY CENTS" Special Delivery stamp. This design was deemed to be too unilingual (the text in the value tablet was in English only). The #E5 corrected this problem. Unitrade is $180.00 for VF NH. Great colour, perfect gum, crazy margins. 2022 Scott US$125.00= $150.00 $85.00
83 Canada #E5. The 1932 issue 20c henna brown "CENTS" Special Delivery stamp. Much more bi-lingual than the "TWENTY CENTS" of the previous #E4. F/VF mint NH. 2022 Scott US$115.00= $138.00 $16.00
84 Canada #MR1. Fresh and perfectly centered VF+ mint NH example of the 1915 issue 1c green KGV War Tax. Unitrade is $120.00 for VF mint NH. 2022 Scott US$70.00= $84.00 $40.00
85 Canada #O39. Dramatic Overprint Shift. VF mint NH example of the 10c "Inuk and Kayak" with the "G" official overprint dramatically misplaced to the right of the kayaker's head. An additional example of a stamp with the normal "G" overprint placement included for comparison. This overprint variety is not yet listed in Unitrade but the three Unitrade listed overprint shifts similar to this one (O20i, O40ii and O47iii) are valued at $75.00 to $187.50 EACH. This one is probably much scarcer. Estimate $120.00 $70.00
86 Canada #R1, R2. Royal Hudson private railway mail stamps. Two complete sets of imperforate proof sheets of 8 of the 25c and 50c 1976 issue stamps.

The 25c value (#R1) has a line drawing of the Royal Hudson steam engine and the 50c value (#R2) has a map of the Royal Hudson's route. A perfect lot for the collector wanting to display both sides of the sheets. Earl Covert's "Strike, Courier and Local Post" catalogue $80.00 as regular mint stamps.

This selection of cancels is far above average as each item was selected for quality of postmark. Some duplication to be found throughout, but a very diverse group of cancellation types including split ring, CDS. POCON and RC (retail centres). Lots of better towns here too, noting Prespatou, Victoria HMC Dockyard, West Summerland, Willow River, Eagle Bay, Engen, Finlay Forks and Heriot Bay. These covers would easily retail $3 to $5 each at a local show. Great lot for the BC collector or show / internet dealer. Estimate $400.00 $325.00

There looks to be approximately 180 cities or towns represented here, with 10-50 stamps in each town-named packet. Wide variety of stamps for each town, with the quality of strikes being well above average as clearly this was the cream of the crop when the collector put these aside. We did not count the exact number of stamps, but a conservative estimate would be about 3500 stamps. Estimate - $300.00 $260.00
98 Canada Covers #46/90. Cover sent from Ottawa, Ontario on January 24 th 1898 paying the 25c quadruple rate registered (20c + 5c) franked with QV 20c Widow Weeds & QV 5c Leaf Issue sent to Plymouth, England. Attractive combination of Ottawa boxed registered cancel/registered roller/oval registration mark. Received at London UK on Feb 2nd (front) and Plymouth on Feb 3rd (back). Note, reduced on left and with staining - but a sought-after commercial usage of the Widow Weed stamp which is seldom seen on cover. Unitrade values a single usage at $1200 but does not value mixed frankings on cover. This usage in not accounted for in the Canadian Posted Letter Guide (cover valuation book). Estimate $500.00 $375.00

106 Canada Covers - Postal Stationery P81 Admiral 2c UPU Postcard. Attractive duo of properly used P81 postcards to two different destinations (Germany / Holland).

The card to Germany is dated November 19 th 1912 and the card to Holland is dated Nov 7 th 1913. These are now listed in the Webb Stationery Catalogue rather than Unitrade.

109 Canada Covers - World War Two - Canadian POW Camps in Alberta. Pair of covers mounted on a page, sent from family in Germany to German Internee’s / POW (Prisoners of War) held at camps in Alberta.

110 Canada Covers - World War Two - Service Suspended / Torpedoed Ship. Fascinating cover with a great story to tell! Posted from St Hyacinthe, QC on May 27 th 1940 registered to Paris, France. This cover was sent during the Battle of France, and was en-route before the German forces forced British forces out of France and captured Paris. As such, mail service was suspended and this cover was destined to be returned to Canada. As luck would have it, the ship carrying the mail back to Canada was torpedoed and sunk (some research could probably figure out the exact ship). The cover, now recovered at sea (Salved from the Sea) was brought back to Canada and eventually returned to sender. Note, included are the original contents. A showpiece WW2 piece of postal history. Estimate $250.00 $190.00

Only a handful of this particular stamp have been recorded on cover. Slightly reduced at left. Note the two additional markings on the reverse, consisting of "No Such Street in Halifax" and "Letter Carrier Branch". Conservatively valued by Unitrade for a cover without additional markings. 2021 Unitrade $700.00 $170.00
157 Newfoundland #J7, J7i, J7ii. VF MNH half sheet of 50 of the 1949 issue 10c dark violet postage due (unwatermarked).

165 Sierra Leone #78. Fresh and VF MNH PART SHEET of 48 of the 1904 issue 1p Edward (watermark 3). A very pretty display-worthy piece of British African Colonial material.

Most of the glassines are priced between 50c and $5.00 but noted some higher including one with a sale price of $37.50. A bit messy, as left intact as received.
