Loads of "P" (permanent stamps, valued at 85c) noted in the more recent issues. A modern "plus value" offering. Total face value $2,180.94 $1,125.00
75 Canada #926A. VF selection of 80 VF mint NH examples of the short lived 1987 issue 36c plum QEII definitive, including three matched sets of blank corner blocks (these don't come with inscriptions). The October 1 issue definitive was delayed repeatedly (from May 6, 1987) due to production difficulties and not released until near the end of the 36c rate period. Thus, this value was current for just three months, during which time the 1987 Christmas stamps would have seen most of the usage. A clean and increasingly scarce investment group. 2017 Unitrade. $372.00 $65.00
76 Canada #1138aii. VF MNH full inscription pane of 16 of the 36c "Canada Day -Science and Technology" 1987 issue on the scarce NF paper, with a se-tenant block of 4 on LF paper for comparison.

VF MNH unopened packs of 50 of the 1997 Year of the Ox souvenir sheet of two x 45c Lunar New Year stamps with the additional "Hong Kong 97" logo printed in lower right corner of the sheet. There are very few of these unopened packs remaining as most were opened to look for varieties. This is the scarcest (and first) lunar new year souvenir sheet. Excellent investment opportunity. 2017 Unitrade. $500.00 $110.00

82 Canada #2388/2548b. Well organized collection of 2010 to 2012 period issues, all in mint NH complete booklets, panes, souvenir sheets, plate blocks and coil strips.

A varied and mostly high quality lot of modern mint material. Total face value $1,091.50 $550.00
83 Canada #2642ii, 2642. VF mint NH 2013 issue "Chinatown Gates" IMPERFORATE souvenir sheet of 8.

Beginning after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and lasting until 1949 (four years after World War II had ended), Canadians of Japanese heritage were removed from their homes and businesses and sent to internment camps in the B.C. interior, and to farms and internment camps across Canada. Camp living conditions were usually poor, and Tashme, on Highway 3 just east of Hope, was notorious for the camp's particularly harsh conditions. An interesting trio of postal history items, seldom seen in today's market. Estimate $500.00 $210.00
116 Canada Covers - British Columbia Airways CL-44 Semi Official Airmail stamp on non-philatelic commercial flight cover between Victoria and Vancouver.

The inaugural flight for this airmail service was on August 3rd (return trip starting in Victoria), after a experimental flight on July 23rd. The AAMC catalogue states that "Regular flights occurred after August 3rd on a daily basis until the single aircraft operated by the company was lost at sea on August 25th. Cover franked with CL-44 dated between August 4th and August 25th carry a premium over the value shown for the inaugural flight." An interesting BC airmail item! Scan shows both front and back of cover. Estimate $200.00 $130.00
117 Canada Covers - Duo of interrupted mail items. The first cover from Toronto on April 7th 1954 to Vancouver, with a back stamp which reads "Salvaged From T.C.A. Wreck". This cover was on board the infamous "Moose Jaw" on April 8th in which a Royal Canadian Air Force Harvard trainer collided with a Trans-Canada Air Line North Star passenger plane in the skies over Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, scattering wreckage and debris over a three-mile radius in the city's northeast end. The cover has the tell tale singe marks from the mail bags catching fire. Of note, the cover bears a 5c QEII Wilding Issue stamp perfined NYL (New York Life), and would make an interesting addition to any QEII or Perfin collection. The second cover of the lot originated in Beverly Hills, California destined for London, Ontario and bears the handstamp "Damaged in Railroad Fire." This interesting cover needs some research to find out more about the Railway incident, but may be a diamond in the rough for a philatelic sleuth. Estimate $150.00 $28.00
118 Canada Literature - "The Post Offices of British Columbia 1858-1970". This is the original masterwork listing of BC Post Offices by George H. Melvin.
