Eastern Arctic Mail. An attractive quintet of 1937-1940 of covers carried by the arctic supply ship RMS Nascopie. A nice assortment of dates and points of posting include Devon Island, Churchill, Chesterfield Inlet, Fort Ross and Halifax. Of note, the 1937 use (September 28th) was while the ship was at Halifax, marking the end of the 1937 season and the 1940 use at Fort Ross (CDS cancel) marks the First Day of use of the Fort Ross Postmark (backstamped with the Eastern Arctic RMS Nascopie oval). All covers are neatly arranged on the collector’s exhibit pages. Estimate =
