Mini-hoard of Philatelic Exhibition issues, covers, cancels and ephemera. Overwhelming strength is for 1978 CAPEX held in Toronto, with stamps, first day covers (including a number of different cachets), supporting material from other postal administrations (including in the year’s leading up to the show). There are programs, catalogues, a couple of sets of the show souvenirs, even newspaper clippings. While there is a set of CAPEX ’51 labels, the balance of the lot is mostly Canadian show material from the 1970’s-1980’s including CAPEX ’87, and a series of National, even regional show material. There is a touch of cards and souvenir sheets for American and British shows. This lot was upended at some point and needs some organizing. Has it really been over 45 years since Canada issued its first souvenir sheet? Estimate =
