An envelope box with about 300x #9 and #10 sized Centennial-era registered covers, all sent to the Alberta Health Service between 1968 and early 1974. At the time of acquisition, this collector was fascinated by paper types, fluorescent levels and tagging, and made pencil notes on many to reflect that interest. Over 50 years later, we think that most collectors will be interested in the many rates and the now-obsolete post offices and/or cancelling devices. Some of the envelopes were used as "paste-ons" for larger parcels, so a couple of higher rates (>$1.00) are present. A small number are from out of the province. Almost all are hand canceled and includes some early "Landscape" usages. Estimate =
