Canada Covers

British Columbia cancels on cover, piece and stamp. The biggest portion is a few hundred, mostly #10 sized registered covers sent 1965-1985, with lots of CDS, POCONs, a few MOONs and other cancels. More than your usual offering of Vancouver and Victoria sub offices, with some New Westminster, Kelowna, Surrey plus a plethora of smaller towns. Most is non-philatelic and the relatively small number that were sent from out of province were struck with receiving cancels upon arrival, some of which are uncommon. There is a mounted collection of a couple dozen #8 covers, some with attractive corner cards, but your patience will be required to remove the tape on the back holding them to the page. The rest of the box is filled with a broader range of items on stamp or piece (1930-1990’s). The collector had started to identify some of them (a damaged stamp has a partial "Lindell" split ring cancel - RF E), but more organizing is required. Estimate =
