Wellburn Collections. Two different and VERY RARE Wellburn collection hardbound sets of photocopies, with only a handful of either ever produced. The pristine volumes faithfully record Gerald Wellburn's unique album page layout, detailed line drawings and extensive annotation. The first group is "Canadian Pacific Railway Postal History" (Volumes 1 and 2) which was produced in June 2003 for the Canadian Postal Archives, a branch of the National Archives of Canada. These volumes are copied in high resolution black and white. The second book contains colour copies of the Wellburn's internationally famous "Postage Stamps of British Columbia and Vancouver Island" collection in its entirety. These three tomes are "must have" acquisitions for any serious BC postal historian or Railway Post Office aficionado and you may very well never see another offering of this type. Ex Shorting.
