OHMS "Deputy Minister" frankings, these are where the name of a bureaucrat is attached to a department’s "free" franking privileges. A fascinating collection of covers from 1889 to about 1963, with strength in the 1920-1950 period. About 110 covers in total, about 1/3 are mounted showing examples of different cancel types, envelope style and type of usage. The other 70 examples are loose, although many have notations about their differentiating features. There is some Ottawa "Free" CDS and machine cancels. A couple are nice usages, in their own right, including a couple departmental "tourism" ads. Not an easy group to assemble. Estimate =
