# O9-226/O10-CE2
|
An "original find" hoard of several hundred mostly 4-hole OHMS perfin in a small box. This totally unchecked group has not seen the light-of-day since the original collector stopped in the 1950's, with the stamps being held by the family in storage since then. Many higher values including 6 examples of O9-262, ($1.00 War Issue "Destroyer") and 5 examples of O10-CE2 (17c War Issue Special Delivery Airmail), among others. These are largely select examples with many dated postmarks, collected as incoming mail at the time from one of the largest Drug Stores / Pharmacies in Victoria BC (of which the collector was the owner / namesake). We did note that the odd "5-Hole" OHMS or private perfin, but expect these to be 99% 4-Hole examples. Unpicked for any varieties, so a wonderful opportunity to acquire an original find group that will take many happy hours to sort out. Estimate =
