Toronto "Station C" or "Station E" specialized collection of "ORB" postmarks. The "ORB" postmark is a very distinct 2 or 3 ring larger CDS postmark, introduced in the 1890's and seen used into the 1950's. Assembled over my years, this lot comprised of 185 covers or postcards and several pieces / stamps. These are primarily all from the GeoV Admiral period, in which this postmark saw its primary use. The PHSC (Postal History Society of Canada) has a wonderful database of these markings, which are still somewhat readily found in dealer boxes and much cheaper than other distinct postmark types of the period (squared circle, split rings etc).
