Canada Covers

Ottawa Fancy Cover Duo 1877 / 1886. The first cover, being sent from the House of Commons 1877 with a BLUE Free Frank Keyhole type cancel alongside the Ottawa CDS and Grid Cork to Ohio, USA. Since the envelope was destined for the United States, the sender did not benefit from the free frank privilege outside of Canada. A bit of a rough opening on this cover does not detract much. Second, Ottawa 1886 BOXED Registered postmark with a fancy cork box cancel to tie the stamps, sent to Montreal. Note, this second cover last sold in a Maresch sale in 1993 and cost the last owner $205 after hammer & fees! An attractive pair of Small Queen covers. Estimate -
