Autographed / Signed cover group. A seldom seen selection of covers, all autographed / signed by some of the most prominent Canadian political figures of the past 50+ years. The group starts with a show-stopping page featuring two 1969 Ottawa covers with one signed by Lester B Pearson & the second by Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Next are a pair of cover dated 1974, each signed by former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker. This is followed by 1971 cover, signed by both Samuel Laycock and Roland Michener dated March 31st 1971, the day that Michener awarded Laycock “The Order of Canada” (accompanied with a letter from Michener’s secretary). Not to be outdone, next is a 1967 Vanier Memorial FDC & note card, each signed by Pauline Vanier (spouse and widow of Georges Vanier). The balance of the covers feature autographs by Thomson of Fleet (British Canadian newspaper mogul), Charles H Best (Canadian medical scientist, co-discoverer of insulin), Hart Massay (prominent Canadian businessman) and lastly Jean Paul Lemieux (one of the most influential Canadian artists of his time). Suffice to say, lots like this don’t come around too often. Estimate -
