Canada Covers

Official Mail Collection. An 1842-1980's Canada / Commonwealth selection of 467 covers (plus a smattering of official stamps) arranged within a binder and loose within a box. An interesting selection of material, as accumulated by the previous owner over a number of years. A break-down of the covers shows that there are 323 Canadian items & 144 Commonwealth items (making a grand-total of 467 covers + stamps!!). A wide-array of material here, with the non-Canadian material featuring early (1842) GB Tax Office, Australian Official mail and a good number of QEII franked covers from around the commonwealth (many addressed to Canada). The Canadian material showcases material starting with an 1890 "Post Office Business" envelope (very unusual), followed by several 1890's Money Order covers and then a bit of everything from across the country including both OHMS / "G" overprints and OHMS perfin material. A nice chance to pick up a large lot of this material at one time! Estimate =
