Canada Covers - Modern cancel hunt filling a pair of envelope boxes with the results of a circa 2008-2009 mail out to Post Offices across the country with a self-addressed stamp envelope requesting the post office to return it with a hand cancellation from that Post Office. This effort resulted in several hundred #10 covers from "rural" post offices, mostly franked with commemoratives or Christmas issues struck with 6-digit POCON/HRIS or "Wing" cancels, or the "Pictorial" CDS cancels that were popular at the time. We didn’t see any Quebec or Northwest Territories, but there is lots of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland-Labrador and Ontario, with about a half box from the Western Provinces. Postmasters sometimes included notes about the post office, or the closure dates for Post Offices. These get to be a more and more expensive proposition each year, so take advantage of this 15 year-old effort. Estimate =

Canada Covers - Not your usual group of philatelically-inspired covers and FDCs. Between 1971 and 1984, this Edmonton-area collector/dealer created about 300 covers with no cachets, but used value added services (typically registration or Special Delivery). When he mounted the covers in four 3-ring binders, he added a number of brochures, posters or the inserts that came when buying complete panes. The covers are #10 sized or bigger and used the contemporary stamp(s) along with some older issues to make up the rate. The covers usually had post office labels added, typically for the service and/or a "1st Class" or "Fragile" label. The items were sent from a range of post offices, with hand cancels, so a number of cancels await the postmark collector (including a few MOON cancels). Estimate =
