Canada Cancels -
Group of 66 choice BC split ring cancels, mostly dated 1938 / 1939 on small cut square or piece, as collected as the time by a collector in Victoria, not having seen another collector's eyes since the 1950's. These were likely snipped from incoming mail to a prominent Victoria BC drug store and represent many small communities (and many closed Post Offices), with strength in Vancouver Island postmarks. Some of the better Post Office include Sheraton, South Bender, Sooke Lake, Kitwanga, Black Pool Ceepeecee, Simoom Sound, Mabel Lake, Shoreacres, Refugee Cove, Kettle Valley, Needles, Kuper Island and Bend (1938). All neatly laid out on stockpages. An enticing lot for the postmark hound! This is the complimentary lot to the selection offered last month. Estimate =
