Nova Scotia MOON cancels. Between 1960-1962, collector Reg Piggott of Kentville NS sent out letters to postmasters asking for favour covers to be returned to him with the stamp tied by the post office’s current rubber cancel. Not much is known about this effort, including how many sets he sent out (although it is probably less than 50 of each) or how many constitute a complete holding. Over 85% of the returned items had a MOON cancel and for many of these hammers, these are the only way to obtain an example. Many of these small town post offices are now closed. This lot is considered to be complete, or very close. A total of 252 different post offices are represented. All on #8 covers, with a rubber stamp address back to Mr. Piggott. A tough lot to assemble, conservatively estimated at only 60c per cover. Estimate =
