Canada Cancels
|
|
A large shoe box filled with clippings from mail over the last 10 years or so, all selected for a collection of modern postmarks. Largely Western Canada, with strength in British Columbia. This is a "cream of the crop" offering, neatly clipped by a collector that had access to thousands of pieces of mail put aside from him from a large business mailroom. The real draw to this lot (in our opinion) is the wide array of named retail centre postmarks of BC (Pine Centre, Prince George…as an example). Many of these modern postmarks are relatively unknown to most BC postmark collectors. The cancels in this lot formed the basis for many of the new post offices of BC reported in the BC postal history study group newsletter. As little is known as to the opening (and sometimes quite quick closing, or name change) of these "modern" offices, some are likely quite scarce. Thousands of cancels here. Estimate =
