The collection is all mounted on mixed Jarrett and Unity printed album pages as well as one blank pages. Sparse in the earlies and mostly used up to the 1960's period, the collection has been very conservatively valued for the fave value of the useable mint stamps only. Pay for the postage and get the used stamps (as well as the "Back of the Book" material) for free! Total face value = $533.83 $250.00
182 Canada - Collection in Unity album, with pages to 1994 including "Back of the Book". While sparse in the early pages, this album starts to fill-up nicely once it hits the 1970's with a fairly comprehensive run of material from 1978-1994. A mix of both Mint and Used, with mostly used for the earlier issues, before shifting to Mint material in the more modern era. The album itself is in great condition. Conservatively valued for the value of the useable MINT material only. Total Face Value = $304.06 $110.00
183 Canada - Collection QV to early QEII comprising of several hundred stamps Mint and (mostly) Used arranged chronologically within a 32-page stockbook. While mixed condition throughout, there is still a reasonable showing of Small Queens, Edward, GeoV, GeoVI material including "Back of the Book" issues (including Special Delivery, Postage Due and OHMS perfins). The catalogue value would add up quickly on this one. Estimate = $180.00 $60.00
184 Canada - Complete 2000-2005 Post Office Quarterly Packs. Pristine lot of Quarterly Packs complete for the years 2000-2005, sealed and with all of the issues including many sought-after die cut singles as well as blocks and souvenir sheets.

These are now listed in Unitrade but not yet priced, conservatively grouped by the actual face value only (which is higher than what is listed on the front of the pack due to the increase in value of the Permanent stamps). Total face value = $155.93 $120.00
186 Canada - Lunar New Years 1997-2008 dealer's hoard of 84 Thematic collections, featuring Canadian souvenir sheets in conjunction with the joint-issues of China and Hong Kong inside a special presentation folio. These packs sold for $9.95 / $12.95 as new from the Post Office at the time of issue and were always popular for their multi-faceted appeal. Most of the packs are still sealed in the original wrapper, with only a small percentage of them having been removed or "3-hole punched" as many collectors did to suit their albums. While the Unitrade catalogue values these packs at roughly twice the issue price, we have conservatively counted them at original retail only. Total original retail price from the Post Office = $966.70 $190.00
187 Canada - Lunar New Years 1997-2008. Complete run of 12 Canada Post issued Thematic Collections for the triple "Joint Issue" packs issued with Canada, Hong Kong and China issued lunar new years stamps / souvenir sheets for each year.

188 Canada - Lunar New Years Holding. A collector's holding of the complete run of souvenir sheets issued for Lunar New Years 1997-2008, five thematic packs with the triple joint-issue (Hong Kong, Canada and China), 78 First Day Covers (including many souvenir sheet and corner blocks) and finally 13 souvenir sheets from the 2009-2019 "high value" or "transitional sheets" period.

A lightly duplicated group QV to QEII, mostly hinged in the earlier material (QV, GeoV, GeoVI) and then never-hinged for the Elizabethan material. While the catalogue value would add up quickly, we have valued this lot by just adding up the total useable mint postage only. Total Face Value = $121.25 $70.00
190 Canada - Mint NH stock of 700 PLUS stamps 1897-1963 sorted in a stockbook. All are Never-Hinged, VG-VF, with most F-VF. NO common 1950's-1960's commemoratives in the lot. There is likely over $3000.00 of catalogue value here if the Never-Hinged premium applied, but all figured without NH premium and at lowest price in Unitrade. 2023 Unitrade = $2,100.00 $230.00
191 Canada - Quarterly Pack Panopoly. Unopened and VF condition group (lightly duplicated) of 19 packs from January 1995 to September 2013. These collector packs containing the mint NH stamps, souvenir sheets and booklets have recently been listed in Unitrade catalogue. More comprehensive than yearbooks, many collectors are beginning to register these packs on their "collector radar". We often see these selling on eBay at significantly over the original face value. Conservatively valued at the original face value (not accounting for the increase in "P" value stamps. Total Face value = $228.14 $160.00
192 Canada - Small Queens to late 1980's collector's used accumulation, all neatly organized in glassines within 7 small boxes (filling up two large boxes for mailing). Many thousands of stamps here, totally unchecked for postmarks, precancels etc with good opportunity for variety hunting in the QEII material (we noted several packets of the mid-value Mammal issues). Also includes a good run of "back of the book" material. A great lot of used material, offered unchecked "as received". Estimate = $300.00 $130.00
193 Canada - Special Delivery Stamps. Group of 22 different issues used, 19 have nice socked-on-the-nose CDS cancels. Four are OHMS perfins. F-VF, nice clean examples.

The flat tin, embossed with a dove in flight, contains a trio of single stamp panes #1812i, 1813i and 1814i (46c, 55c and 95c values) which were only available in the tin, a pre-paid worldwide post card and a quarter-sized token. Overlooked by most collectors who bought the heavily promoted coffee table souvenir book and the more readily available stamp panes of four. Each "keepsake" collection catalogues $22.50 in Unitrade.

Not a complete run of all the covers, as many of the subscribers ended the acquisition of these pricey items ($9.95 each for an original cost for this lot of $835.70) as the cost became excessive.

A nice glimpse into the hey-day Canadian airmail during the late 1920's to the 1940's including some better usages, but also some of the more "modern" flights which can prove to be more elusive as there were only small batches flown. We noted a couple of Cherry Red Airline semi-official covers, a Northern Air Serivce semi-official cover (pilot signed) and a few dozen of the covers with either the better C2 or C4 stamp franking. Estimate = $250.00 $260.00

An attractive grouping, housed in a Unitrade postcard album (with slipcase) with 56 postcards, mostly RPPC (real photo postcards) of Atlin, Dawson Creek, Alaska Highway Construction, Lake Bennett and Hazelton. Many better cards throughout, some in mixed-condition, but this represents a tough area to acquire multiple postcards. Many are priced on the back from when originally purchased (with prices to $50.00 per card, but most in the $5-$20 range). A nice chance to acquire a group of Northern postcards, housed in a premium album. Estimate = $130.00 $75.00

Conservatively valued for the usable postage (face) value. Total face value is GBP136.07 = $231.32 $210.00

307 Great Britain Cancels - Attractive offering of 263 Numeral cancels on Victorian stamps and a few Edwards. Mostly very nice strikes and a collection to behold!

308 Great Britain Cancels - Second offering of postmarks, this time being 306 CDS, Squared Circles, and unusual cancels SON on GB stamps. Note 51 are squared circles, 16 Paquebot cancels, 2 Boer War, etc. A spectacular and rarely offered collection! Unchecked for rarity, so good chances for some finds.

311 Greenland #10-18. The 1945 (American Issue) complete pictorial set of nine, F-VF Never-Hinged. Undervalued in Scott. A tough set to find, especially this nice. 2023 Scott US$325.00 = $438.75 $210.00

315 Greenland Covers - Specialized town cancel / special event illustrated cancel collection of 276 covers, neatly mounted and described (in Germany) within two binders.

Estimate = $200.00 $140.00
316 Guadeloupe #3/156, B10B3, J15-J21, J25-J32. Mint Hinged and used 1889 to 1938 period collection of 137 mostly all different stamps, all mounted on three printed album pages and laid out on one Hagner brand stock sheet.

All appears to be sound decent material. Estimate = $180.00 $150.00
319 Ireland #65/948. Dealer's red box filled with used duplicated in glassines 1922-1994, neatly arranged by Scott catalogue number.

320 Ireland - Duo of binders. The first containing 49 Hagner stockpages with an all-different selection of stamps including many of the harder to find modern issues, we spot-checked the catalogue value done by the previous owner (US$1834.00) which seems reasonable to us. The second binder (previous owner's CV US$868.60) contains the odds and ends on manila stocksheets, mostly modern issues with some duplication. Owner's total older 2017 Scott US$2702.60 = $3,648.51 $280.00
321 Ireland - Mint NH Annual Collections for the years 1994 to 2000. Intact and VF quality seven year run of Irish Post Office "Year Collections" containing mint NH commemorative stamps and souvenir sheets.

Total Scott catalogue value well over US$200.00. Estimate = $120.00 $110.00
322 Ireland - Small box filled with almost 3 pounds of close-cut on paper stamps, a good mix of material including many better early issues, then up to the "Euro Era". Unchecked for cancels / varieties. Seldom seen material. Estimate = $120.00 $80.00
323 Italian Colonies - Offices Abroad and Occupations. One hundred and twenty-six stamps, mint and used, on three black Hagner stockpages. A good representative group from this mid-twentieth century specialty. Owner's 2019 Scott US$334.80 = $451.98 $60.00
324 Jamaica #1/704, B4-B7. Mint and used collection of 676 stamps and souvenir sheets, 1860-1988 period issues, sorted, identified and priced on Hagner stock sheets, mounted on printed album pages and unsorted/unvalued in a large manila envelope. Duplication noted in all eras. "SPECIMEN" overprints have been valued as regular stamps and revenues have not been counted in the total. Expect some faults but decent basis for expansion. 2022 Scott US$1,292.90= $1,745.42 $170.00
325 Japan #288a, 293a, 306a, 311a, 323a. Attractive Mint-Hinged group of five different 1939-1941 National Park issue souvenir sheets. All neatly presented on Lighthouse brand hinge-less album pages. A few small gum blemishes from the hinging, along with a pressed out crease on 311a (lower left corner, not affecting the stamps). A tough group to assemble. 2023 Scott US$742.50 = $1,002.38 $220.00
326 Japan - Balance of collection in 4 small stockbooks, a good-time lot with early issues, Back of the Book, better se-tenant blocks, complete booklets and souvenir sheets.

327 Japan - Mint modern collection of singles, complete panes, souvenir sheets, collector’s folders, joint issue with Singapore and items purchased as New Issues, along with 16 Tokyo Post Office Philatelic Section informational mailings.

328 Japan - Modern Face Carton Load. Clean recent VF mint 99% NH accumulation, 1950s to 2000s period issues, all housed in nice quality stock books, annual collections, sheet files, folders and loose, including numerous blocks of four, booklet panes, miniature panes and souvenir sheets.

Noted a few Never-Hinged in the group, but also a few gum blemishes, so conservatively catalogued as hinged for all. 2023 Scott US$226.75 = $306.11 $65.00
330 Korea (Democratic Republic) #1435a/2928. VF used (CTO) selection of 87 different souvenir sheets/miniature panes, 1976 to 1990 period issues. All stored in individual clear plastic sleeves, previously numbered and priced by Michel catalogue (in DM). These colourful topical issues are harder to find than you would think.

331 Liberia #3188-3190. Complete set of three "extreme high value" 2017 Animal definitive issues in Mint Never-Hinged sheets of 50. The designs feature Nile Crocodile ($4000 value), Red River Hog ($6000 value) and the Leopard ($10,000 value). At today's exchange rate from the Liberian dollar to Canadian dollar, these sheets would represent over $8200.00 CDN face value. The Scott catalogue on these is US$430.00 per set (and you have 50 sets here). 2023 Scott US$21,500 = $29,025.00 $375.00
332 Macao #75/1486. Lovely balance of collection of the former Portuguese territory now an administrative region of China, from a smattering of used early issues to MNH sets and S/S as recent as 2016 as well as some Back of the Book material. Includes several new issue announcement folders from the Macanese post office. Some light duplication noted, a rigorous sort will prove very worthwhile. 2022 Scott US$1037.00 = $1,399.95 $260.00
333 Malaya / Thai Occupation #2N1-2N6. Mint no-gum, complete set of 6 of the 1943 "War Memorial" series, issued under Thai occupation for use in Kedah, Kelantan, Perlis and Trengganu. These four states were ceded to Thailand by the Japanese in 1943, but revered back to British rule in September 1945. A tough set to find. 2022 Scott US$148.50 = $200.48 $220.00
334 Montserrat #92-101. VF mint 2 NH/2 LH "THOMAS DE LA RUE & COMPANY, LIMITED, LONDON" full inscription sheet margin blocks of four of the ½p to 5sh values from the 1941-1948 period GeoVI pictorials. Catalogued as basic stamps, pro-rated for 2 H/2NH but worth a decent premium as inscription blocks. 2023 Scott Classic US$185.56= $250.50 $55.00

336 New Zealand #136c. VF mint NEVER HINGED vertical pair of the 1909-1916 issue 5p red brown Edward with the rare mixed 14 x 13½ and 14 x 14½ perf types. Scott doesn't have a NH price for this variety but all the references I could find (including Campbell-Paterson) give a 200% premium for NH. Scott Catalogue as Hinged US$200.00 = $270.00 $75.00
337 New Zealand #B3-B4. Fresh, VF and mint NH complete 1931 issue "Laughing Boy" semi-postal set of two. These are the best known and most valuable of all the NZ semi-postals. 2023 Scott US$500.00= $675.00 $160.00
338 New Zealand #O23/O111. Eighty-one Official stamps from 1907-1963 period in mint or used (sometimes both) condition.

Owner's 2019 Scott $624.40= $842.94 $120.00

The #3 is likely a fake as it is on old and likely handmade but not laid pinkish paper. All of the other earlies are genuine. A good start to the earlier issues of this historically rich eastern European country. Owner's 2019 Scott $462.95= $624.98 $55.00

342 Sierra Leone #19/99. Lightly duplicated all mint selection of 35 (24 different) 1883 to 1910 period Queen Victoria and Edward VII period issues, all laid out on one Hagner brand stock sheet.

These sections have Scott catalogue values of $485.40, $144.55 and $267.10, respectively. Interestingly, the postage for each shipment of new issues was covered by including CTO NH stamps within rather than on the outside of the envelopes. Rounded out with a few "Miniature World" post office publications. 2022 Scott US$897.05 = $1,211.02 $280.00
346 Somali Coast and Oblock - Selection of 59 Mint and Used 1892-1966 arranged on a stocksheet. A nice array of issues which don't come up too often. Expect a few minor faults, but overall a very clean offering. Owner's older 2013 Scott US$542.35 = $732.17 $140.00

Housed in a stockbook, with almost every stamp included accompanied by a slip of paper giving the purchase price, date of purchase and dealer purchased from.

349 Switzerland #41-68. Duplicated specialized grouping of 85 stamps, both Mint and Used from 1862-1881 period "Seated Helvetia" issues, still organized by the original collector on his page. All stamps counted a the basic Scott valuation, although there is plenty of upside since many of the sub-listed shades are here (many which catalogue substantially more). Condition seems to be fairly good for these issues, with the exception of one trimmed stamp (not counted in the total). 2022 Scott US$2041.95 = $2,756.63 $220.00
350 Switzerland #293-299, 301, 303-305. VF mint no gum part set of the 1945 "PAX" issue. While not complete, the lot does include the key 3fr, 5fr and 10fr high values. 2023 Scott US$225.85= $304.90 $85.00

356 USA #C1/C32, E12, E14. All mint Hinged selection of 23 different Air Mails and two Special Delivery issues. Except for the very lack of expensive Zeppelins, the Air Mails are usefully comprehensive and in very decent condition. 2023 Scott US$311.25= $420.19 $44.00
357 USA #PR57/PR125. Mixed condition selection of 13 lightly duplicated 1870s to 1890s issue Newspaper stamps, all laid out on one Hagner stocksheet. The #PR83 is used but all the others are OG H/HR.

358 USA #WX5. Full sheet of 100 of the 1909 American Red Cross issued Christmas Seal, designed by Carl Wingate and printed by lithography be The Strobridge Co, Cincinnati Ohio. Intact sheets of these early Christmas Seals are getting exceedingly tough to find. A few spots of separation noted with a few hinge-reinforcements on the reverse, but well above average for sheets from this period. Catalogued as WX5 in the Scott USA Specialized catalogue at $1.25 per stamp but worth much more as a intact sheet. We only found one other intact sheet for sale online, offered at US$349.00 ($470.00 Canadian). Estimate = $150.00 $34.00
359 USA - Collin's Hand Painted FDC collection. A visually stunning array of 78 covers, 1993-2007 each done by the well-known FDC artist Fred Collins.

361 USA - Precancel Bonanza. Small box, stuffed with a three-part US Precancel holding. The first part, is an binder with over 1000 Chicago precancels, heavily duplicated but with variety throughout, likely put together 50+ years ago! The second part is several hundred precancels sorted by town in glassine envelopes (this group also includes a few hundred US perfins, not precancelled). The third and last portion is a small box with a couple thousand un-sorted precancels. An interesting large group, needing a sort, offered as received by us. Estimate = $250.00 $110.00
362 USA - Revenue Hoard. Manila Envelope filled with a wide-array of unchecked United States (plus a few WW) revenue stamp and "back of the book" material. We noted Rations, Documentary stamps, Officially Sealed, Stock-Transfer, Tobacco, Thrift stamps, Wine Labels, coil issue "Test" stamps, Liquor revenues, postage due and special delivery (to name a few). A very interesting and diverse offering, sure to be some treasures for the ardent philatelist to search out. Estimate = $150.00 $210.00

Both Mint and Used, with a fair amount of better material including lower value mint Washington-Jeffersons, coil issues, imperforates, parcel post, postage due, precancels and airmails. A largely un-sorted group, which is offered as received by us. Estimate = $140.00 $210.00
364 USA - Small box stuffed with US material as accumulated by a collector of Canada (as opposed to a Canadian collector), which means that better material is bound to be found throughout as this material was seemingly added to the box as received over the years. We noted a handful of covers, mint, used, precancels, postage dues, WWII rations, stationery cut-squares, parcel-post and plate blocks including C22 plate number block of six. Estimate = $200.00 $220.00

366 USA - TB / Christmas Seals 1927-1968. A binder containing a neatly stored group of 70 sheets / partial sheets in page protectors (with stiffener) all being TB Tuberculosis fundraising Christmas seals with the exception of a 1948 Lutheran Wheat Ridge Foundation and 1963 Omaha Home for Boys sheets. A very clean lot, which is interesting to flip through not just for the Art designs used, but also for the artistic patterns that can only been seen if looking at a complete sheet (as apposed to single seals). Estimate = $150.00 $140.00
367 Worldwide - A mostly British Commonwealth array of stockpages, album pages, packets and folders PACKED full with a wide-array of issues from across the Commonwealth QV to QEII.

A total of 3932 stamps and 240 souvenir sheets, complete for the 1956-2004 period and then about 80% complete thereafter. Unfortunately, the stamps have been heavily hinged, causing most of them to be stuck in the albums.

The previous owner states that over $6000 was spent on putting this collection together, often one set at a time purchased from European dealers as the material can be tough to find in Canada. Also, note a couple of the albums are in need of repair, with the spine coming dislodged from the jacket. A nice chance to acquire largely complete Europa collection. Estimate = $850.00 $475.00
