Canada Covers

A stationery-sized box with over 200 various sized regular mail and registered covers, mostly sent to the Alberta Health Service between 1968 and 1980, plus a good handful of early 1970’s regular mail including usages on the first day (and a few predating the first day), and a number of Centennial booklet panes used on cover, often to Germany. There is a small group of parcel pieces for heavier packages (Centennial rates up to $6.00!). 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. We think that most collectors will now be interested in the many rates and the now-obsolete post offices and/or cancelling devices. A small number are from out of the province. Almost all are hand canceled and includes some "Landscape" and "Olympic" usages. A few hundred items in total. Estimate =
