Canada Covers

Large correspondence of philatelically inspired covers sent 1974-1984 within Canada and often to West Germany or Poland. Usually #9 or #10 sized covers, with a typed address, attractive franking (some mailed on the first day of issue), with additional Canada Post labels (e.g. "Fragile", "First Class", etc.) and some ephemera. Lots of registered usages and sent periodically every couple of weeks and apparently with different weights of contents, making this an excellent study for 1970’s rate collectors. Most of these were also hand cancelled, which has some potential for collectors of Edmonton-area sub-office post marks. A total of about 400 covers in five long FDC albums and a 3-ring binder that only holds Montreal Olympics related covers. Fills a bankers box. Estimate =
