Canada #246/306, C7. Four Mint Sheet-Files, filled with an old-time holding of mid/late George VI era mint never hinged sheets / multiples. Ranging from the 1939 Royal Visit to the early 1950's "Prime Ministers", this holding came right from the family of the collector that put these aside at the time of issue. While there are not any individual high-values, large holdings of these issues don't come around often! Valued as single NH stamps, with no premiums for the sheets, multiples and Plate Blocks (which there are many). Includes both regular sheet issues, but also coil strips (and even a couple of Newfoundland multiples). Take a look at the inventory sheets (4 in total) done for each sheet-folder, with the reads as total stamps, catalogue number, Scott catalogue value. 2024 Scott US$3360.20 ($4536.25 CDN). Estimate =

A very uncommon sight to see $40.00 invested by a single collector on one issue in 1949, but to have it with the original Post Office receipt is a first for us!

Canada #282. VF mint Never Hinged 1949 "Newfoundland / Cabot Ship" issue, group of 8 complete panes / sheets, making for the FULL LAYOUT off Plate #1 and Plate #2 in full printing format of 200 stamps. Originally printed in sheets of 200 stamps, these were then cut into panes of 50 stamps, with single inscription corners UL, LL, UR, LR per pane before being issued to the Post Office / Philatelic Order Department for sale to the public. Seldom do we see the full layout, especially for both Plate Numbers of the issue. A couple with staple holes / pencil marks in selvedge (as often found with sheets acquired from the Post Office at the time). Extremely hard to recreate.
