Back of the Book. Carefully curated MNH collection of 1965-1990 Juan de Fuca Despatch local/postal strike carrier service stamps, for use between Victoria, BC and Port Angeles, WA to get mail into the US system when Canadian postal services were interrupted. Extensively illustrated in the now out-of-date Covert catalogue and updated by Lafreniere in his "Field Guide to the Cinderella Stamps of Canada" as #cc5440. Includes the June 1968 proof set of 3 as well as imperf tete-beche pairs. A total of 179 stamps in full and partial sets with mostly complete mini sheets. These issues are seldom seen in such a comprehensive array, and often trade at full retail price when they change hands. Lafreniere Field Guide =
