Canada #4. Striking page of 11 used examples of the 1852-1857 3p imperforate "Beaver", including many better postmarks such as grid and 4-rings (great strike of #16, the sought-after Hamilton UC postmark, RF10). While many look quite nice, none are four margin examples and we noted some other small faults throughout (rounded corners, thins). That being said, an excellent study group, unchecked for re-entries and paper types, with some premium postmarks. Estimate =

Canada #34. VF mint Never Hinged "Wide and Short" spacing / perforation variety of the 1/2c black QV Small Queen, with extreme "Jumbo / Wide" example of left, followed by "Narrow / Short" spacing on the right. Both with rich colour and pristine gum. One might be tempted to remove the left stamp, making for a "boardwalk margin" exceptional single. Catalogue value often does not come into play on these 1 in 1000 stamps! 2024 Scott US$90.00 =

Canada #34/302. Stupendous mint Hinged selection of 211 different stamps, from the 1/2c Small Queen to the 1951 issued $1.00 Fisheries. All laid out on 4 pages (2x double sided stocksheets), chronologically with many better stamps throughout such as #43, 44, 70, 72, 79, 80, 81, 85, 86, 92 etc, plus runs of George V Admirals (especially coils), War Tax, Scroll, Leaf, Arch, Medallion, 1935 Pictorials, George VI Mufti, War Issue, Peace Issue, coils etc. The perfect basis for a mint collection, with over 200 of the first 300 Canadian stamps covered. Expect the hinging to range from Light to Remnant, but a perfect way to cover off the majority of the pre-1950 issues without having to pay the hefty premiums for never hinged. 2024 Scott US$6080.00 =
