Modern Military Commercial Mail. A compact small box, crammed with approximately 800 covers sent from Canadian Forces overseas in the early 1990's. A seldom seen large lot of true commercial mail, all being mailed back to "VISA" in Toronto (yes, those credit cards still needed to be paid!). All feature Canadian Forces postmarks including Navy and CFPO (Canadian Forces Post Office), the latter being numbered and a quick check through showed offices in Germany, France and Cyprus. Beyond the postmark interest is the wonderful array of rates, from an interesting time in Canadian definitive issues which include the "Mammals", "Fruit Trees" and QEII portraits. A wonderful group for further study. Estimate =
