Only true commemoratives, NO Christmas, no spring greetings, no definitives. Has a few semi-postals. Includes some of the latest Covid period issues through 2021.

158 Canada - Auction Lots from the 1980s. Old-time lot consisting of a diverse assortment of Canadian stamps, mostly still on the original Weeda Stamps Ltd bidboard sale pages.

Truck and Rainbow design Picture Postage stamp, issued on November 30th 2020, ONLY TO CANADA POST EMPLOYEES, plus a thank you card and matching rainbow pin. The booklets are very elusive and we've only just begun offering any for sale. While recognized and reviewed in numerous philatelic journals, Unitrade has yet to create an individual listing for this stamp, so we have used the Unitrade catalogue number for the frame design as our stamp reference. Two booklets are perfect for display purposes (front and back). Estimate $200.00 $150.00
165 Canada - Top Quality Modern Used Commemorative Mix. Exceptional offering of 1,000 select quality VF used 100% commemoratives off paper, consisting of recent issues from the last few years up to the 2021 period.

Unfailingly one of our most popular modern offerings. Estimate = $250.00 $110.00

A total of 47 covers / cards & mail tags, neatly mounted and described on the collector’s pages (with loose or extra items in the back).

Loads of interesting markings in here including 1st Anti-Tank Regiment, Canadian General Hospital, Edmonton Regiment, Seaforth Highlanders, Black Watch, Machine Gun Holding Unit, Royal Canadian Engineers etc. While these markings played a significant role in the postal history of WWII, there is still significant research to be done into these diverse markings.

188 Canada Covers - Ottawa Fancy Cover Duo 1877 / 1886. The first cover, being sent from the House of Commons 1877 with a BLUE Free Frank Keyhole type cancel alongside the Ottawa CDS and Grid Cork to Ohio, USA.

220 Canadian Provinces - Newfoundland - #C3h on Cover. VF example of the 1921 Halifax Airmail overprint, showing the 1.5 mm spacing between AIR and MAIL variety as the period after 1921 variety. Tied by a St. John's NFLD machine cancel to a neat General Post Office cover addressed to Philadelphia. Only 2,224 of this setting were printed, with only a small portion of these still on cover. Of particular note is the recipient of this cover, philatelist Joseph A. Steinmetz. As well as being the president of the Aero Club, he owned two different "Inverted Jennys". He was also the high profile collector embroiled in a 1911 court case where he was indicted for bribing a post office employee in return for sheets of rare US stamps that had been slated for official destruction. A stamp story worth investigating! 2022 Unitrade catalogue price for on cover = $400.00 $130.00

Lots of upside if revalued by European catalogues. Includes better like #832-835, 1241-1246, 1435-1439 plus a handful of proofs not counted in the total.

233 Czechoslovakia #882-886. VF mint NH complete 1958 "Mushroom" topical set of 5 in Scott catalogue listed panes of 10. The set is valuable even as singles but the panes are the key format for this ever-popular topical issue. 2023 Scott US$275.00= $343.75 $36.00
234 Czechoslovakia #1904/3058. All mint and almost all NH selection of all different souvenir sheets and miniature panes, 1973 to 1998 period issues, all Scott listed and priced, either as regular listings or in the detailed catalogue footnotes.

All 4 issued colours of the overprint are represented, in violet, red, black and green as well as a single with overprint in blue with stated 4 copies known. The handstamp nature of the overprints lends itself to many errors and varieties and here we have doubled, inverted, sideways, additional and missing overprints in spades. There are also at least 3 types of the overprint recorded and these have been meticulously noted on the album pages, including with the Sanabria Airmail Catalogue numbers. Also includes a flown cover to Southwest Africa. Catalogued merely as basic stamps the Scott value is US$275.75 but intact specialized collections with multiples research possibilities are very hard to come by anymore. $500.00 $650.00

245 France - French Offices in Egypt "Port Said" 1/80, B1. Mint and (mostly) used collection of 1899-1925 issues, 71 stamps on trimmed album pages. Very uncommon material which includes type varieties the 5c greenn 1899 issue have been identified by the previous collector (who was meticulous and invariably correct) as both Types I and II, but have been valued conservatively as Type I since the low centering makes it nearly impossible to read the INV below REPUBLIQUE" in the lower left corner. 2021 Scott US$1289.30 = $1,611.60 $130.00
246 French Equatorial Africa #C9-C16. Mint and used collection of the 1940-41 "Afrique Franaise Libre" overprinted Airmail issues, including a part set in unusual mint blocks of 4 and with the 2 key 1.50fr and 3.75fr values used with clean CDS cancels. Less than 4,000 of each of the latter were printed and they are equally scarce mint or used. Numerous overprinting flaws and varieties have been pointed out by the previous owner. 2021 Scott US$1035 = $1,293.75 $260.00
247 French Guinea #1-62, 63/103, J1-J15. Exceptional collection of complete sets for issues from 1892 to 1913 including Postage Dues, mixed mint and used stamps hinged to 3 trimmed album pages. French Colonial issues are not often found so well-collected with sets including the high values. 2021 Scott US$1291.80 = $1,614.75 $140.00
248 French Morocco #1/88. Spectacular mint and used collection of 1891-1924 issues hinged to 4 trimmed album pages, sound condition throughout with early types and many high values noted. 81 stamps in either complete or close-to-complete sets. 2021 Scott US$1575.85 = $1,969.80 $140.00
249 Germany #146/293. Large MNH duplicated lot of complete panes of 1921-1923 inflationary period issues, 8500 stamps in 2 panes of 50 and 84 panes of 100. These large 100-year-old panes are quite fragile and so most have perf separation from minor to major. Many of the sheets are listed in Michel and priced with a premium for the marginal inscriptions, and some constant plate varieties have also been noted by the previous owner. 2022 Scott US$2255 = $2,818.75 $210.00
250 Germany - Absolute top quality and very comprehensive mint NH collection of 1954 to 2006 period issues, including commemoratives, definitives, booklets, souvenir sheets, semi-postals, airmails and computer generated types. All the stamps are on high end hingeless "BORE" brand album pages (these pages are worth $500.00 alone as new!). The stamps themselves got beyond basic Scott listed types and varieties, with illustrated marginal tabs, coil strips, se-tenants and a good number of items that may only be found in a specialized catalogue like Michel.

260 Great Britain #1. Penny Pincher's packet of Penny Blacks. Used group of 11 Penny Blacks, the world's first postage stamp. All have seen better days but are all unplated and unchecked for varieties. A useful lot for the sheet reconstructor or plate number specialist.

A good number have a fault of some kind (minor to major), there are 73 examples that are more or less visibly intact for design and plating letters. All nicely laid out on two Hagner brand stocksheets. Another dozen that are a bit too far gone have also been included (for an art project?) but not valued. None of the stamps in this lot have been checked for watermarks, plate numbers, cancels, re-entries or other collector criteria. A perfect project for the Classic GB specialist.

The #33 group has been valued at the basic price of $3.00 per stamp, even though a good number of the plate numbers here (for example #215, 216, 219, 222 and 223) are valued much higher. Owner's 2018 Scott US$10,702.00 = $13,377.50 $350.00
