"Fisher" design Postal Stationery wholesale lot. Interesting group, which looks to have been purchased from the Postal Museum in Ottawa, with an eye to getting first day cancels, which was a hit or miss undertaking for this issue. The buyer at the time probably didn’t realize that they were hitting the "jackpot", as the 12c envelopes are the uncommon printing "without postal code guide" on the front of the envelopes (including the 15c on 12c revalues, where most of this uncommon printing tends to surface). This box includes #10 envelopes, postal cards and some "private order" envelopes for Quebec social services (of which there are many printings). The envelopes consist of the 12c and the 15c on 12c overprint (Webb EN244 and EN254) with 32 mint and 76 FDC each, the 15c (EN248) with 24 mint and 82 FDC and the 17c brown printing (EN251) with 45 mint and 91 FDC. The postcards include the 14c, 15c, 17c (P288, P289, P291 - about 10 mint and over 40 FDC copies each. There is a mixed bundle of 165 postally used copies of ENX80-81, ENX84 (Transportation issue). Envelope flaps are all unstuck - but some could use pressing. Total 2019 Webb Stationery catalogue value =
