Study. Mint, used and on cover semi-mounted study of the 1954 issue 15c Gannet. This was the stamp that paid the airmail rate but was also employed for registration, special delivery and numerous other uses. The semi-annotated collection includes ten rate covers of various types, a FDC and numerous plate blocks. Of special mention is a quantity of correspondence, numerous papers and order cards from the Canadian Bank Note Company and the Canadian Post Office Department regarding the stamp design, production and finished stamp orders. Great background documentation for the serious collector of Elizabethan period material. Estimate
