Duo of "original find" 5-hole "O.H.M.S." perfin covers, each posted from Victoria BC (1932/1933) on official Assistant Receiver General printed stationery, sent to Vancouver. Although at first glance these appear to be the same, the 1932 cover actually bears #O8-165 in position "3" (inverted) as apposed to the other 3 stamps which are all position one. Unitrade offers a 25% premium for this position 3, but does not attempt to value these on covers. As stamps alone, the 2024 Unitrade catalogue value is $138.75, but properly used on cover is much scarcer. First time offered on the philatelic market. Estimate =
