BC British Columbia Postmarks. An old-time collection of A-Z postmarks (not including the split ring types, see previous companion lot) neatly arranged in 4 binders, featuring cancels on stamp or small piece hinged on black cards with description label which notes the opening and closing date of each Post Office. A total of 1425 cancels in total, with a nice array of primarily CDS, but also POCON types among others (including a very unusual McBride 1927 Jubilee Celebration handstamp). Although we did not count the different offices, it is likely that this lot represents over 1000 different towns / cities! Lots of closed post offices throughout including Bankier (1934-1963), Brouse (1932-1964), Cheslatta (1942-1950), Creekside (1938-1956), East Pine (1929-1968), Gold Bridge (1934-1953), Haney (1930-1970), Kleecoot (1936-1953), Leechtown (1939-1960), Meldrum Creek (1930-1970), Nickel Plate (1945-1955), Ochiltree (1921-1957), Owen Bay (1946-1958) and Queen’s Bay (1909-1964).. to name a few. Decades of collecting went into this one, offered as received. Estimate -
