First Day Covers. Remarkable holding of about 900, mostly different, private First Day cover cachets in albums and piles, desperately needing sorting and discovery. From 1948 to about 1985 with about a dozen different cachet makers represented. The 1960’s to 1970’s is often Rosecraft, but we noted about 50 long "Schering" FDCs. The strength is about a 10-year run each of "NR" and "Fleetwood" cachets. The "NR" covers are a bit primitive and were produced in relatively small quantities and we rarely see such a complete offering. Fleetwood covers are much more sophisticated but were very pricey (e.g. the 1983 Canada Day series of 12 covers cost US$30.00!). Great for the researcher or for the collector who wants to fill in what they couldn’t afford 40 years ago! Estimate =
