Eastern Arctic Mail. A visually stunning cover sent REGISTERED on July 19th 1939 from Port Burwell (on Killinkek Island, off the tip of Labrador), carried by the Eastern Arctic Mail SHIP RMS Nascopie via Churchill, Manitoba to Alberta. As Port Burwell was a "Non-Post Office Point" the mail received from the ship was cancelled aboard the RMS Nascopie. Registered mail is far scarcer than regular mail, with this cover picking up a great strike of the RMS Nascopie Registration Box to complement the 7 strikes of the Nascopie oval postmark (front and back). This cover will also appeal to the 1939 Royal Visit collector, as it would be a showpiece item in a Royal Visit exhibit. A welcome addition to any postal history collection, neatly written up on exhibit page. Estimate =
