Lot #	Description	Cat. Val./Est.	Price Realized
1	Algeria #B14-B26. F/VF mint Hinged complete set of the 1930 Centenary of French Occupation semi-postal series, with surtax to fund the celebration. A visually enticing set. 2025 Scott US$157.00 =	$211.95	$65.00 6188
2	Australia - Bankers box half-filled with a balance of an extensive estate that we have been selling over the past few months. A mix of old and new. There is a bit of unsorted and assorted "States", only a few ‘Roos, and then a small holding of mostly used King George V heads (a couple of the mint indicate that they have inverted watermarks). Some nice cancels and multiples are noted, including a £1 Arms block. Among the decimal era, we noted a mint set of the Explorers, Cook souvenir sheets (regular and ANPEX), plus some mint into the early 1980’s with face values to A$10. This collection has been filled with surprises, so you never know if it has one more trick up its sleeve. Estimate =	$140.00	$80.00 4389
3	Australia - The consignor has spoken: Let the rest of it go. A beautiful, mostly mint, collection balance, starting with a few ‘Roos, a few King George V "Heads" to 1/4, the "Melbourne issue", followed by three of the four "Arms" including the £2, the higher values of the Explorer issue (including the 10/-, £1 and £2). There are a dozen different complete booklets including the Prime Ministers. "OS" overprints include a near complete range (either mint or used), plus a couple of blocks and a nice corner block of CO1 (Air mail official). There are a few assorted pieces to entertain you, but of much less value. Estimate =	$200.00	$75.00 6638
4	Australia - The last of a postage due holding, starts with the first issue of 1902 (blank panels at the bottom) in a complete set of seven, overprinted "Specimen" (the 6d and 8d hinge remnant, the rest lightly hinged, Stanley Gibbons catalogue £350). The rest of the holding is mostly red and green dues including two pages of a Stanley Gibbons album, followed by a mint and used selection on dealer and stock cards. Offered as received. Estimate =	$160.00	$325.00 3097
5	Austria - A "back of the book" holding, with a few post-war regular issues thrown in, all tucked into a 1" 3-ring binder. Includes lots of semi-postals (mostly mint, up to 1976), airmails, postage dues, newspaper, a bit of occupation overprint and some Bosnia and Herzegovina. Several hundred stamps, with a bit of duplication. Much of the material is in old, clear mounts which are not always holding the stamps as was intended, which is the only downside to this nice lot. Estimate =	$150.00	$80.00 1805
6	Barbados #12/180, MR1. A mixed batch of 16 mostly mint (or unused) classics up to 1927. Starts with an attractive used copy of #12 with a nearly complete "1" numeral cancel (perfs are trimmed a bit on the left side, but catalogues $800.00). The balance is an assortment of attractive mint hinged (a few have no gum) singles (these catalogue $330.70). Total 2024 Scott US$1130.70 =	$1,526.45	$55.00 1805
7	Barbuda #1-11. Complete mint Hinged set of the 1922 George V "BARBUDA" overprinted Leeward Island issues. The set represents the only pre-Elizabeth era series from this British Crown Colony, with the next set not being issued until 1968! 2024 Scott US$179.00 =	$241.65	$110.00 2712
8	Belgian Congo #14/129 plus Back of the Book. An unexplored dealer’s stockbook with a decent offering of 1890's-1928 issues, both mint and used, with 1-15 examples of most. The mint is fresh and hinged, the used are often selected for the quality and readability of their cancels, including many from smaller communities. A quick check showed individual stamps with catalogue values up to $20.00 each, and the total catalogue value will climb quickly, as there are a few hundred stamps here. The only downside is that this 16-page Uni-Safe stockbook has been dropped a couple of times. We have somewhat successfully got most of the material back to where it should be, but more organizing will be required. You don’t see lots like this anymore! Estimate =	$200.00	$375.00 3266
9	Belgium #1/497. Retired Circuit Book Holding. A mint and used selection of 97 stamps from the 1849-1956 period, spread out on pages within 6 retired APS circuit books. Includes many better individual items such as #Q15, 71, 75, 89 (all mint hinged). Expect the odd fault and a bit of duplication, but a well above-average holding, perfect for either the collector or dealer looking to enhance their holdings. 2025 Scott US$3961.65 = $5348.20 CDN. Estimate =	$400.00	$180.00 5719
10	Belgium #106. The 1931 Philatelic Exhibition Prince Leopold 2.45fr + 55c semi-postal souvenir sheet, in VF MNH condition. Cancelled in the margin with the special Exposition postmark (Scott footnotes says to consider sheets with this postmark as unused). Note the usual small handling bends, as are often found on these sheets. A key semi-postal sheet, very scarce this nice. 2024 Scott US$650.00 =	$877.50	$110.00 6087
11	Belgium - Accumulation from a collector who knew what they liked. From the second King Leopold I design, there are 21 used, imperforate, copies of the 10c brown and 14 of the 20c blue (unchecked by us). These are followed by a used example of #213, a couple of examples of B27 and a bit faulty (but never hinged and uncancelled) souvenir sheet B178. The other obsession was the 1957 semi-postal set #B599-604 for which there are 29 sets and 5 presentation folders. Lots of catalogue value here. Estimate =	$160.00	$38.00 4389
12	Bermuda #1/141. Collector's accumulation of 114 different stamps from the QV to George VI era, with both mint and used, neatly arranged and identified on three stockpages. Expect the mint to be hinged and a few small faults (short perfs etc). A lovely offering, which includes the popular George V era "ship" issues, Omnibus including the 1948 Royal Wedding set (with the £1.00 value) and George VI Key Plates. 2025 Scott US$2640.90 =	$3,565.20	$475.00 4870
13	Bermuda #28-39. Complete mint Hinged set of the 1902-1903 / 1906-1910 "Ship at Dry Dock" design series. A very popular set, the first pictorial series from this British Crown Colony. 2024 Scott US$229.60 =	$309.95	$110.00 2712
14	Bermuda #55-60, 67-69, 71-79. F/VF duo of complete George V mint hinged sets, including the 1920-1921 "Seal of the Colony" and 1921 George V issues (both sets of 9 stamps). Bright colours throughout. 2024 Scott US$264.25 =	$356.75	$70.00 6396
15	Bermuda #123var. Lovely mint hinged example of the 2/- King George VI "Keystone" issue with Stanley Gibbons listed constant plate flaw "Gash in Chin" from position R2/5 that existed on two printings, this being the later perforation 14, regular paper from 1943. A fresh mint example with a small hinge remnant. Noted listed in Scott catalogue, but listed in Gibbons as #116df. 2021 Stanley Gibbons £850.00 =	$1,520.85	$95.00 6590
16	Bosnia and Herzegovina #30d/42f. Two pages with two groups of "Compound" perforations on the 1906 "Scenery" commemoratives, where sheets contained two or three different gauges of perforations within each sheet, giving many unusual combinations. These are listed in Scott Classic (among others). The first page has 8 used and 1 mint example from the "f" family (perf 9-1/4 and 6-1/2) while the second page has 16 examples from the "d" family (perf 6-1/2, 9-1/4 and 12-1/2). Where there is duplication, it is because the various perforations are on different sides of the stamps. The perf 6-1/2 is notorious for being blunted, and two examples are not counted because of damage. Otherwise, a very presentable group. Total 2021 Scott Classic US$696.25 =	$939.94	$85.00 4487
17	Bosnia and Herzegovina #44c/44i. Four used examples of the 2k "St Luke’s Campanile" denomination of the 1906 "Scenery" issue each with a different compound perforation. These stamps were created by sheets that had two or three different gauges of perforations that were used within each sheet and in different combinations in different printings. These are listed in the Scott Classic catalogue. This lot includes nicely used examples of #44c, 44d, 44f, and 44i with various combinations of four different perforation gauges. Total 2021 Scott Classic US$590.00 =	$796.50	$85.00 4487
18	Bosnia and Herzegovina #45i. Attractive mint, hinged copy of the 5k "Emperor Franz Josef" high value of the 1906 "Scenery" issue, with each of the three different perforations on a single stamp. These "compound perforation" stamps were created by sheets that had two or three different gauges of perforations that were used within each sheet and in different combinations in different printings. These are listed in the Scott Classic catalogue. This example has sides with perf 9-1/4, 10-1/2 and 12-1/2). 2021 Scott Classic US$625.00 =	$843.75	$85.00 4487
19	British Commonwealth - A diverse estate balance doing a decent job to fill a bankers box, about half is loose material on album pages, stock cards and in glassines. Includes an interesting holding of Heligoland (British colony in Germany, notorious for forged and reprinted stamps), noted some Caribbean, including classic Bahamas and newer St-Kitts overprints and Specimens. There is some overprints for Middle Eastern colonies and some Aden issue, some Guyana independence overprinted issues that may hold some interest and there is some modern African imperfs and gold foil issues. The second half of the box is a trio of "open face" red dealer’s boxes with "102" cards, probably a couple thousand in total with a mix of mint and used, mostly common material, but with the occasional better item. Lots of digging and sorting here. Estimate =	$250.00	$170.00 6555
20	British Commonwealth - A duo of Solomon Islands and Gilbert and Ellice Islands accumulations on pages, dealer cards and glassines, with overlapping, mostly mint, holdings. Includes some nice definitives, minor errors, common design issues and sporadic commemorative issues into the 1980’s. Best is King George VI to early Elizabethan era. A bit of duplication to be expected and lots of stamps in the $5.00-$20.00 range. Overall, the condition appears quite nice. Estimate =	$200.00	$170.00 4217
21	British Commonwealth - Part A: British Pacific or Oceania colonies, a very worthwhile end to this amazing estate, with classics to the early 2000s, most mounted on pages, some on dealer cards. Many countries seen here including a nice, mounted collection of British New Hebrides (catalogues over US$300.00) and Tuvalu on stock pages and to a lesser extent, we noticed some Fiji, Norfolk, Niue, Samoa, Papua New Guinea, Cook Islands, Pitcairn, Tonga and more. A nice little bundle. Estimate =	$200.00	$140.00 4217
22	British Commonwealth - Part B: British Pacific or Oceania colonies, a very worthwhile end to this amazing estate, with classics to the early 2000s, most mounted on pages, some on dealer cards. Many countries seen here including mounted collections of Fiji, Tuvalu, Cook Islands, Aitutaki and Samoa, with a nice group of New Zealand postal fiscal "Arms" overprinted "Niue", with many other island groups represented to a lesser extent. An interesting offering. Estimate =	$250.00	$290.00 4217
23	British Commonwealth - Retired Circuit Book Holding Part 1. A premium selection of mint (mostly hinged) and used stamps, arranged by country / area over 7 retired APS circuit books.

Expect a bit of duplication and the odd small fault, but overall a very enticing offering of premium material, perfect for either collector or dealer. Total number of stamps is 123, with total Scott catalogue value of US$3336.00 = $4503.60 CDN. Estimate =	$400.00	$500.00 1805

A compact, yet powerful offering, perfect for the collector or dealer looking to add some all-premium material. Expect a bit of duplication and a few small faults, but overall very clean.

Estimate =	$250.00	$240.00 1805
26	British Commonwealth - Selection of 68 different used stamps from Victorian to 1949, with all being better values as each stamp catalogues US$5.00 & up. Take a good review of the scans, as each stamp is identified by the consignor. All appearing to be sound examples but could be some minor issues like short perfs. 2025 Scott US$1138.00 =	$1,536.30	$120.00 4870
27	British East Africa #17e. Striking used perforated pair, imperforate between, of the 1893 issued 2-1/2 Anna black on yellow "Light and Liberty" design. Each stamp has a December 20, 1893 Mombasa squared circle cancel, issued only a couple of months before. An attractive Victorian-era rarity, as apparently only 90 pairs are possible. Three owner’s marks on the back. Listed in Stanley Gibbons (#7cc £450.00). 2021 Scott Classic US$550.00 =	$742.50	$130.00 6128
28	Burma #1/34, O15/O24. Old time used stock / holding of 507x George V / George VI stamps within 3 circuit book style books, with duplication of up to 16 examples of a single stamp. Both regular issue and "back of the book" officials. The catalogue value adds up quickly here. See owner's hand written inventory to appreciate the scope of the lot. 2025 Scott US$1429.10 =	$1,929.30	$110.00 1805
29	Canada Covers - Ontario Postmarks / First Day Covers. Many hundreds of Canada first day covers, primarily from the 1980s to the 1990s, collected for Ontario postmarks, containing a few hundred different towns, noting CDS, duplex, MOON, POCON, and more. A few covers have private cachets, but primarily uncacheted first day covers. Nice addition to any collection. Estimate =	$150.00	$28.00 2050
30	Canada #4. VF used example (3 large margins, 1 close but clear) of the 1852 issue 3p red beaver imperforate on small piece. Tidy four-ring "21" cancel (Montreal). 2024 Scott US$200.00 =	$270.00	$160.00 6274
31	Canada #4 Study Group. Fine appearing used quartet of the 1852 issue 3p red beaver imperforate pence issue. All with small faults, including shallow thins. Unchecked for paper or re-entries. 2024 Scott US$800.00 ($1120.00 CDN) as basic stamps. Estimate =	$150.00	$260.00 6657
32	Canada #5. Fine appearing used example of the 1855 issue 6p slate grey "Prince Albert" imperforate on wove paper. A couple shallow thins and tight margins, but a respectable example of this elusive Pence issue. 2024 Scott US$1150.00 =	$1,552.50	$210.00 4253
33	Canada #7. Fine appearing used example of the 1855 issue 10p blue "Cartier" imperforate on thin wove paper. All margins are either close cut or cut-in, but still a reasonable example of this key Pence issue value. 2024 Scott US$1500.00 =	$2,025.00	$200.00 5683
34	Canada #8. Fine appearing used example of the 1857 issue QV half-penny rose imperforate on wove paper. A bit heavily canceled and with close / cut-in margins, making for a very reasonably priced way to fill this spot in your album and then upgrade later if so inclined. 2024 Scott US$700.00 =	$945.00	$85.00 6395
35	Canada #21-30. Complete used set of all ten Queen Victoria 1868-1876 issue Large Queens. All valued as the basic Scott listed types. Unchecked for papers or printings. Some very nice individual stamps noted here! 2024 Scott US$1160.00 =	$1,566.00	$200.00 6351
36	Canada #23. Fresh mint original gum example of the 1868 QV 1c yellow-orange Large Queen. A large portion of original gum, a bit heavily hinged (as normal) and with a tiny thin in the centre (truly miniscule). Better perforations than are normally seen and accompanied by a 2017 APS Certificate stating "Genuine". A nice, fresh copy. 2024 Scott US$2750.00 =	$3,712.50	$230.00 6554
37	Canada #23/30c. A trio of Large Queens with a 3c mint, no gum, with a couple of short corner perforations and a heavy lower corner crease. This is followed by a mint 15c grey-violet (original gum, a bit off-centre with a hinge remnant), and an interesting ink blob in the lower right "5". The last stamp is the 15c grey with "very thick paper" on deep violet with a nice socked on the nose "Ottawa" grid cancel, but with a thin. Total 2024 Scott US$4325.00 but because of the condition issues we are going to put an estimated value on this group. Estimate =	$240.00	$65.00 6648
38	Canada #24b. F/VF part-original gum, heavily hinged (as usually seen) example of the thin paper variety of the 2c QV Large Queen. Deep green colour and reasonably centered, with only a couple of blunted perforations in the upper right side. 2024 Scott US$1500.00 =	$2,025.00	$110.00 6648
39	Canada #35/45. Postmark offering of "Duplex" cancels on 64 Small Queens, from 1c to 10c values mounted on "Viking Album" quadrille pages. Choice examples, selected for either named "Kingston" grids or numeral "1" Toronto grids. It would take a considerable amount of time to assemble this many, especially in the high-quality that is seen here. Of particular note is that there are 9x the 10c Small Queens! Estimate =	$200.00	$70.00 6550
40	Canada #37, 41. Choice selection of 1034x 3c Small Queens, all selected for postmarks arranged on "Viking Album" quadrille pages. A stunning offering, which looks to be either arranged by town / city or by year / month dates (many of these look to be the arrangement of a "calendar" collection). Lots of better CDS postmarks here, with the majority being dated examples. An excellent opportunity for future study. Mostly eastern Canadian towns / cities, with a few pages of "corks" or other postmarks included as well. Take a good look at the pictures to appreciate the time and effort put into creating this stellar offering. Estimate =	$300.00	$220.00 6118
41	Canada #38. Fine mint Hinged example of the 5c olive green Queen Victoria Small Queen. Good colour, with reasonable hinging, a very attractive example of this elusive mint stamp. 2024 Scott US$925.00 =	$1,248.75	$120.00 6648
42	Canada #41/465A plus Back of the Book. A pair of Kodak photo paper boxes filled with #8 sized envelopes, each with a selection of used stamps (generally up to 25 of a type to KGV and up to 50 of a type from KGVI to Centennials). There are better throughout, such as KGV/KGVI dollar values, individual items with catalogue values to $5.00 each with some nice cancels and some unchecked KGV precancels. The envelopes themselves are interesting, with many window envelopes from smaller (often Alberta) businesses and about 100 of the envelopes are unused CN Telegram envelopes. Thousands of stamps here. Estimate =	$150.00	$22.00 6685
43	Canada #46-47. Fresh and Fine mint OG hinged examples of the 20c vermilion and 50c deep blue Widow Weeds 1893 issue high values, a brilliant duo with fantastic eye appeal. 2024 Scott US$800.00 =	$1,080.00	$120.00 6351
44	Canada #47 Experimental Precancel. The 50c Widow Weeds with an "Ross" experimental precancel from a single sheet produced by the Post Office Department in 1907. The sheet was cancelled with an Ottawa, Canada circular cancel dated April 29, 1907 and sent to the "Chief P.O. Superintendent" (George Ross) in Toronto. A copy of the original post office letter is included, with the notations: "make any use of this sheet" and "no necessity for returning any of these stamps". This copy has a readable cancel and a full backing of original gum, with a touch of mounting at the side (the letter mentions that the sheet had some separation that might need repairing). It is unclear how this item was ever used towards future development of precancelling. Only 100 copies were produced. Listed in Walsh’s BNA Specialized catalogue at US$500.00 =	$675.00	$85.00 6108
45	Canada #50-54, 56-57. F/VF mint Never Hinged selection of 7 different 1897 QV Jubilee issues, with values from 1/2c to 10c. The 8c example has a natural gum skip, mentioned "for the record". A great start to a Never Hinged set. 2024 Scott US$1467.50 =	$1,981.10	$220.00 5504
46	Canada #54, 55, 58, 59. F/VF used quartet of used 1897 QV Jubilee medium-values, including the 5c deep blue, 6c yellow brown, 15c steel blue and 20c vermilion. Some nicely centered, well cancelled stamps in this offering. 2024 Scott US$600.00 =	$810.00	$65.00 4791
47	Canada #55, 57. Choice VF used, neatly cancelled examples of the 6c yellow brown and 10c brown violet from the 1897 Jubilee series. These mid-values can be tough to find as nicely used as this duo! 2024 Scott US$295.00 =	$398.25	$65.00 6201
48	Canada #55, 57, 59. F/VF Mint Never Hinged trio of 1897 QV Jubilee mid-values, including the 6c yellow brown, 10c brown violet and 20c vermilion. A great start or addition to putting together a NH set. 2024 Scott US$695.00 =	$938.25	$180.00 6301
49	Canada #56. F/VF mint Never Hinged sheet-margin example of the 6c yellow brown 1897 issue Jubilee. Rich colours and attractive centering. 2024 Scott US$625.00 =	$843.75	$110.00 5504
50	Canada #58. F/VF mint Lightly Hinged example of the 15c steel blue 1897 QV Jubilee issue. A great stamp with fresh colour, centered close to VF. A very respectable example of this tough to find issue. 2024 Scott US$300.00 =	$405.00	$90.00 6565
51	Canada #61. VF used example of the 1897 issue $1.00 lake Jubilee. Attractive "LONDON ON 2" roller postmark, well above average for this issue. 2024 Scott US$750.00 =	$1,012.50	$260.00 5742
52	Canada #62. Sound and Very Fine centered used example of the $2.00 dark purple 1897 issue Queen Victoria Jubilee. Fresh with sharp and clean "TORONTO 6" roller cancel. Striking colour on this one! 2024 Scott US$550.00 =	$742.50	$260.00 1786
53	Canada #66-73. Generally Fresh and Fine mint Hinged complete set of the 1897-1898 issue QV "Leaf" series. Hinging is generally light, with the exception of the 5c stamp, which has a small hinge thin. 2024 Scott US$1,460.00 =	$1,971.00	$120.00 6648
54	Canada #66-73, 74-84. Generally Fine and sound used sets of Queen Victoria 1897-1902 issue "Leafs" and "Numerals" arranged in mounts on the previous owner's album page. 2024 Scott US$447.35 =	$603.90	$38.00 6647
55	Canada #74-79, 83. F/VF mint Hinged (generally lightly) group of 7 different values from the 1898-1902 QV "Numeral" issue. Some nicely centered individual stamps here, a great start to a complete set. 2024 Scott US$977.50 =	$1,319.65	$60.00 6351
56	Canada #74-83. Mint Hinged / Never Hinged nearly complete set of 1898-1902 QV "Numerals", running from the ½c up to the 10c value. Ten stamps total, mostly reasonably hinged, with a few of the lower values being Never Hinged. Conservatively all valued as basic mint hinged. A good starter set. 2024 Scott US$1,668.00 =	$2,251.80	$140.00 6351
57	Canada #90/94. King Edward VII trio with a 2c booklet pane of 6 (no tab, a bit of discoloration at the right and some gum loss and a bit of a thin from poor storage, Scott catalogues US$1600.00). The 20c olive-green example is mint, well centered, with the usual heavy hinging and a couple of short perforations (Scott US$750.00). The lot concludes with a used 2c single with a nice "Esquimalt" crown cancel. Estimate =	$250.00	$42.00 4870
58	Canada #104/122 plus Coils and War Tax. Two stockpages of mint Admirals, as assembled by a collector. The first page (43 stamps) are Hinged, with the second page (36 stamps) being Never Hinged. A nice array of material here, which ranges from the 1c to $1.00 value, plus imperforates, War Tax and Coils. Also accompanied by two different older (but still relevant) publications on the Admiral issue by George V. Marler. Expect the odd small fault, but catalogued as basic stamps, with no premiums added for Never Hinged, shades or other varieties, so plenty of upside for the collector once sorted. 2025 Scott US$3058.50 ($4129.00 CDN). Estimate =	$300.00	$230.00 6142
59	Canada #104/321. Mint Block Collection. A diverse offering of 117 mint blocks from the George V / George VI period, neatly arranged on stockpages. Generally lightly hinged, often with the top hinged and lower never hinged, but to be conservative there were no NH premiums added. The catalogue value adds up quickly on this one! 2025 Scott US$2885.00 =	$3,894.65	$260.00 6657
60	Canada #104-122. Complete basic set of eighteen 1911-1925 issue GeoV Admirals, all sound, fresh, F/VF and OG mint Hinged. A colorful mint "starter set" of this popular early GeoV series. 2024 Scott US$1,245.00 =	$1,680.75	$140.00 6648
61	Canada #113. VF mint Never Hinged example of the 1912 issued 7c yellow ochre George V Admiral. A wonderful example of this stamp, with bright colours and large even margins. 2024 Unitrade for VF NH is $270.00! 2024 Scott US$130.00 =	$175.50	$240.00 4247
62	Canada #123-124. Fine mint Never Hinged set / duo of the 1913 issue 1c dark green and 2c carmine George V Admiral coils, perf 8 (horizontal). A tough pair of stamps to find Never Hinged. 2024 Scott US$550.00 =	$742.50	$90.00 6142
63	Canada #136-138. VF mint Hinged/Never Hinged trio of the GeoV Admiral imperforate blocks, from the special 1924 printing of only 50,000 or 100,000 examples of each denomination. Fresh, with nice wide margins, the 1c has 3x stamps never hinged, the 2c (2 NH) and the 3c (1 NH). Very eye catching. Total 2024 Scott US$542.50 =	$732.38	$290.00 6588
64	Canada #249-262, 263-267, 278-281. F/VF mint Never Hinged complete run of the basic George VI "War Issue" series, with values from 1c to $1.00, plus complete sets of both the perf 8 and perf 9.5 coil stamps. A very attractive run, with Post Office fresh colours. 2024 Scott US$346.95 =	$468.40	$48.00 6648
65	Canada #337/345. Specialized and intense Mint (seemingly all Never Hinged) QEII Wilding Plate Block collection, with over 800 plate blocks, arranged on pages by issues, then plate number within two binders. A wealth of material here, which is near impossible to assemble these days without spending a copious amount of time and money as most of these are retailed only (and many dealers don't stock them). Duplicated (as to be expected), but a wonderful "more complete than not" offering of what is available for this issue. Also included is a smattering of "other" QEII Wilding items, including coils. Owner's hand-written inventory list is included. Owner's Unitrade =	$3,586.15	$325.00 6108
66	Canada #556. ESSAY/PROOF. VF quality Canadian Bank Note Company progressive proof of the 1971 issue 10c Christmas stamp in a sheet margin block of four. Perforated and with full Never Hinged gum. The proof consists of the lithographed background only (missing the engraved silver text and snowflake). The original retail value of this proof when it was first discovered was over $300.00 per stamp ($1,200.00 for a block). Comes with a single of the issued stamp for comparison. Estimate =	$150.00	$90.00 6301
67	Canada #686, 687 Panes. VF mint Never Hinged (still Post Office sealed) packs of the $1.00 Notre Dame & Place Marie / $2.00 Olympic Stadium, 1975 issued Olympic Games high-values, with three of the possible four different plate positions (these panes could be acquired as "plate blocks" with four possible positions). Tough to find Post Office sealed! Face value alone is $62.00. 2024 Unitrade =	$300.00	$90.00 1315
68	Canada #1362iii. Mint Never Hinged imperforate gutter pair of the 1998 45c "Flag over Building" issue. There are two small tears and a bit of minor damage to the upper right corner, affecting the "45". A note in Unitrade states "most of the imperf gutter pairs seen by the editors are creased". This pair doesn’t have creasing but does have the damage noted. 2024 Unitrade =	$2,250.00	$60.00 3590
69	Canada #1367a. Mint Never Hinged imperforate pair of the 65c "Black Walnut" tree definitive of 1991, with nice even margins, but alas, a miscut has resulted in a 15mm horizontal cut into the top stamp (starts between "Wal" and "nut"). Still an attractive example of one of the harder to find errors from this period. 2024 Unitrade =	$1,500.00	$85.00 5531
70	Canada #1534ii. VF Mint Never Hinged upper left inscription corner block of four of the 1994 Xmas unissued 52c proposed rate change stamp. The Post Office decided to remain at 50c but a few of these got out anyway. A key modern "unintentional" issue. 2024 Unitrade =	$950.00	$260.00 5868
71	Canada #1689a, 1692a, 1689b, 1692b, 1693, 1694, 2405. A wonderfully clean offering of modern Animal / Mammel high-values, including 2005 issued $1.00 White-Tailed Deer / Atlantic Walrus / $2.00 Peregrine Falcon / Sable Island Horse (each in matched set of plate blocks and miniature pane), 2003 issued $5.00 Moose pane of 4, 1997 issued $8.00 Grizzly pane of 4 and the 2010 issued $10.00 Whale pane of 2. Face value alone adds up to $132.00, but these issued have proven elusive for many collectors due to the lower print numbers and high original cost. 2024 Unitrade =	$325.00	$150.00 1315
72	Canada #1818-1834. Investment group of 4x complete mint Never Hinged sets of all 17 different 1999-2000 issue 46c Millennium mini-sheets of four. One of the most popular series in the past few decades, with 68 different stamp designs. Pristine condition, with the face value alone being $125.12. 2024 Unitrade =	$612.00	$140.00 3762
73	Canada #2479-2482. Complete mint Never Hinged set of 4 complete panes of 16 stamps for each of 2011 "Canadian Recording Artists" series of 4 stamps. We seldom see these panes, as only 160,000 were printed of each as compared to more often seen souvenir sheet or booklets panes, which had 1,105,000 issued combined. Overlooked by many at the time of issue, these complete panes now listed in the Unitrade catalogue and are quite hard to find 13+ years past issue date. 2024 Unitrade =	$300.00	$140.00 6012
74	Canada #2567, BK499-BK507. VF mint complete set of the 2012 issued "100th Grey Cup Game" booklets (9 in total), plus the matching VF NH souvenir sheet of 9 values. A very clean assembly, which has been tough to find after issue due to the high original cost and cross-interest with sports collectable collectors. Face value alone is $122.76. 2024 Unitrade =	$168.75	$140.00 6442
75	Canada #3064i ERROR. Sought-after used example of the "P" value MacMillan Provincial Park, BC with missing red "P" (along with a normal used for comparison). A modern listed variety rarity. 2024 Unitrade = $1250.00	$1,250.00	$500.00 5614
76	Canada #BK9b. A scarce, complete, 1922 Admiral booklet with a pane of four and two tabs for the 1c yellow and 3c brown plus a pane of 6 of the 2c green. The booklet covers are blue with dark blue tape. The stamps are in good shape, but the covers have some faults including a bit of peeling of the tape, an erased notation on the front and a small tear to the back cover. The staple is oxidized and barely holding the booklet together. Still, not many of these were produced and few survive to this date. 2024 Unitrade =	$650.00	$210.00 6012
77	Canada #BK29/BK39. Selection of 13 different George VI (Mufti / War Issue) complete booklets, neatly arranged on a double-sided stocksheet by the consignor. A nice mix of English / French / Bilingual printed, with variety in rate pages as well. While all booklets in this period are generally "better", this group includes one of the tougher to find booklets (BK29c,French, catalogue $140.00). Some minor bumping, rust on staples and pencil marks (could be removed) as often found on these issues. Centering of the panes as varied, but these were counted as basic catalogue values, with no premium for well centered or clean covers. 2024 Unitrade =	$633.00	$190.00 4249
78	Canada #CL40/CL52. Semi-Official Airmail "Sampler" selection of 20 mint / used stamps neatly laid out on a single stockpage. Slightly duplicated, but almost all the mint are Never Hinged (with the exception of one of the CL52 examples), with the bottom row being used. While the used were catalogued at the mint value (only value given), collectors will be aware that used copies can be tougher to find than the mint counterparts. 2024 Scott Classic US$326.00 =	$440.10	$140.00 3811
79	Canada #E1, E1a, E1b. Stunning assembly of 102x the 1898 issued 10c Special Delivery stamp, with particular attention to better postmarks and shades. A well above-average offering which includes better postmarks (CDS, Cork, RPO, ORB, "R" Registered and a Squared Circle), plus a range of shades which includes all three of the Unitrade / Scott listed shades (blue green, green, yellow green). The perfect lot for a specialist (or budding specialist). Catalogued as basic stamps only, so plenty of upside once sorted out. 2025 Scott US$1122.00 =	$1,514.70	$230.00 4451
80	Canada #E1b. Fine mint Never Hinged example of the yellow green shade of the 1898 issue 10c Special Delivery stamp. A tough stamp to find Never Hinged. 2025 Scott US$725.00 =	$978.75	$220.00 1592
81	Canada #EO1. VF mint Never Hinged large multiple (half-sheet) of 25 of the 1950 "O.H.M.S." overprinted Special Delivery stamp, with Plate No.1 inscription at lower right. A very attractive multiple, valued as a plate block, plus 21 singles (but should be worth a premium as a multiple). 2024 Unitrade =	$624.00	$160.00 6541
82	Canada #O6a. VF used vertical strip of four of the 10c Peace issue "Great Bear Lake" with a single example of the Unitrade / Scott listed "missing period" "O.H.M.S", plus three regular singles. Neatly postmarked "La Tuque, QC, 12 IV 51". Undervalued in Unitrade / Scott, especially nicely used in multiples. 2024 Unitrade = $92.70. Estimate =	$100.00	$110.00 1786
83	Canada #O6a, O7a, O8a. VF used trio of "missing period" Unitrade / Scott listed varieties of the "O.H.M.S" official overprints on George VI Peace issue mid-values. Tougher to find than the catalogue would indicated, especially this nice! 2024 Unitrade =	$330.00	$300.00 1786
84	Canada #O10-272. VF mint Never Hinged plate block / upper sheet-margin block of 10 of the 1946 Peace issue 50c Lumbering. Originally folded and a bit of perf separation on top (not affecting the plate block), but still a stunning showpiece multiple of this high-value official stamp, valued as a VFNH plate block, plus 6 VFNH singles. 2024 Unitrade =	$960.00	$250.00 4039
85	Canada - Annual Collections for 1974 & 1975. The two scarcest Canada Post Annual Collections, from the years 1974 and 1975. Very nice quality duo of the key early 8½ x 11 Post Office Yearbooks. Both complete with MNH stamps in collector added mounts. The 1974 year set is the "unpunched" version, while the 1975 is the "punched" version, having received the 3-hole punch (as listed in the catalogue). Getting these is increasingly tougher, especially in as nice of shape as these two are. 2024 Unitrade =	$335.00	$210.00 5531
86	Canada - Complete Canada Post thank you "kit" consisting of a small presentation box containing two VF condition intact mint examples of the limited-edition booklet of 12 of the permanent "THANKS/MERCI!" Truck and Rainbow design Picture Postage stamp, issued on November 30th 2020, ONLY TO CANADA POST EMPLOYEES, plus a thank you card and matching rainbow pin. The booklets are very elusive. While recognized and reviewed in numerous philatelic journals, Unitrade has yet to create an individual listing for this stamp, so we have used the Unitrade catalogue number for the frame design as our stamp reference. Two booklets are perfect for display purposes (front and back). Estimate =	$100.00	$90.00 6690
87	Canada - Elizabethan Period Mint Holding. A very enticing "needs research" group of mostly early QEII period mint material, including blocks, plate blocks, singles, coils, partial coil rolls as accumulated for future sorting (and paper fluorescence comparison). Complied in a box, mostly on stockpages / glassines with several "Bileski" offerings noted). A tremendous amount of catalogue value here, with notable items such as O32 ($1.00 Totem "G") VFNH plate block and a stockcard with 8x examples of the 5c Christmas (1970) centre block (NH). This small box should provide for a fun and worthwhile sort for anyone looking to explore the diverse QEII era issues. Estimate =	$200.00	$240.00 269
88	Canada - Mint Holding with 1970's to early 2010's, seemingly all different as arranged on (mostly) Vario brand stockpages within a binder. We noted everything from singles, to plate blocks, souvenir sheets and panes, with several better noted. Some of the notable items are "P" stamp souvenir sheets (counted at the "old rate"), $2.50 Nelson Mandela, $5.00 Fabric Flag, UNESCO, Hockey Panes, blocks etc. Even a few "odd balls" here and there, such as a postcard, Bahamas and Princess Diana stamps. Conservatively valued for the usable Canadian postage / face value only. Total face value =	$338.36	$190.00 5942
89	Canada - Mint Plate Block Holding. Album containing stockpages with a range of 1960's to 1980's plate blocks, with several better including the 1970's Landscape Definitives, 1976 Olympics $1.00 / $2.00 values, $1.00 Fundy, $2.00 Kluane and two examples of the $5.00 Point Pellee (to name a few). Catalogue value would add up quickly, but conservatively valued for the usable face / postage value alone. Total face value =	$193.34	$120.00 6657
90	Canada - Mint Plate Block Holding. Binder with stockpages containing a range of seemingly all-different plate blocks, with several better from the 1990's to early 2000. Notable items include ART Canada, Lunar New Years, $1.00 Loon and $2.00 Polar Bear (to name a few). Catalogue value would add up quickly, but conservatively valued for the usable face / postage value alone. Total face value =	$241.94	$210.00 6657
91	Canada - Mint Sheet / Partial Sheet / Block Holding. A mint sheet file, filled with 1970's issues, mostly in complete sheets, but also including some partial sheets / blocks. A mix of both "Post Office Stock" (no inscriptions) and "Philatelic Stock" (with inscriptions). Conservatively valued for the total usable face / postage value only. Total face value =	$199.30	$120.00 6657
92	Canada - Modern Post Office Marvels! An envelope box, filled with a wide range of mostly modern Post Office presentation packages / thematic packs and other Post Office offerings. Dozens of items here including complete booklets, souvenir cards, Post Office presentation FDC folders, Stik-and Tic, the 1964 "Some Canadian Postage Stamps" hardcover presentation book, Petro-Canada blocks, Hockey Cards, Royal Wedding keepsake, quarterly packs, both sheets of the "stylized Maple Leaf" picture postage, "Wait for me Daddy" and "In Flander's Fields" miniature sheets and the Post Office pack with 2010 Vancouver Olympic overprint souvenir sheets (#2299f, 2305f and 2366c, previous owner paid $77.00 for this one alone). A great way to check off some of these often neglected "back of the book" listed items. Estimate =	$200.00	$270.00 269
93	Canada - Modern Souvenir Sheet / Miniature Pane Bonanza. An attractive all-different selection of 23 different souvenir sheets or miniature panes from 21st century Canadian issues. Includes many better items including "mixed value" souvenir sheets, "P" stamps and many "dollar plus" values. All in pristine mint Never Hinged condition. Noted better items such as Lunar New Years (including "Transitional" sheets), Nelson Mandela, QEII Jubilee, Star Trek, Franklin Expedition, Empress of Ireland etc. Conservatively valued for the usable postage value only, but the catalogue value would be considerably higher. Total face value =	$120.20	$130.00 3820
94	Canada - Modern Souvenir Sheet / Miniature Pane Holding, featuring "P" (Permanent) stamps only from the 21st century. An all different, collector inspired holding includes 46 souvenir sheets / panes which hold a total of 180 "P" stamps. Better items throughout including Star Trek, O'Canada, Recording Artists, Superman, 2012 QEII Jubilee, Covered Bridges, Pet Adoption and Chinatown Gates. Conservatively valued for the usable postage value only, but the catalogue value would be considerably higher. Total face value =	$223.20	$210.00 3820
95	Canada - Private Courier stamp HOARD. BC-based private courier service mint label hoard from the estate of the person who ran the operation. Starting in the early 1980s, during a postal strike, a local post service was setup to run international mail over to Port Angeles, WA for a fee, paid for by a label attached to the back flap, along with appropriate American postage. Based on its popularity with collectors, additional stamps were produced for the next decade. Locally printed, these stamps have significant variability in print quality, rouletting etc. After 40 years of handling and storage, the condition can be a bit mixed in place, but overall these are pretty nice. The counts are for complete sheets, although extra blocks and singles may be hiding. Saw Canadian Postal Strike Labels (sheetlets of 18) - the 50c (23 sheets), $1.00 (46 sheets), $1.85 rouletted edge (35), imperforate edge (28). The three small designs of the same issue in 34 sheets of 30 stamps. The BC Courier Service "Horse" issue in sheets of 25 (<1 oz (12), 1-3 oz (6), >3 oz (6)). 1983 "Fish" issue: 75c fully rouletted (7), imperforate ends (8), $4.50 (1) and the same issue overprinted "1985" - often with interleaving white paper 75c orange rouletted (3), imperforate edge (10), 75c pink (19), $1.50 (16), $4.50 (4). The BC Private Courier "Animal" issues include the 1984 75c (65), $1.50 (4). The 1988 series 75c orange (7), white (6), $1.50 green (34) white (4), $4.50 pink (28), white (1).The 1989 series 75c (40), $1.50 (29), $4.50 (35). These issues have been under-appreciated for their topical interest (fish, transportation, animals). A total of over 15,000 stamps on over 600 sheets! Lafreniere 2012 pro-rata catalogue value $56,629.00!! Estimate =	$1,500.00	$1,225.00 6541
96	Canada - Quarterly Pack Holding of 12 different Post Office issued packs, from the 1998-2003 period. Includes 1998 (quarter 2), 1999 (quarters 3/4), 2000 (quarter 1), 2001 (quarters 1-4), 2002 (quarters 1-4) and 2003 (quarter 3). The packs (for the most part) are all lower face values, most being under $10.00 and often retail for a good premium over the issue price. Conservatively valued for the total face value / issue price. Total face value =	$118.20	$85.00 4249
97	Canada - Special Delivery "socked on the nose" selection of 62 used stamps. Might be some good dates and towns. Looks like sound examples, some light CDS strikes but easily identifiable. All valued by the consignor at lowest Unitrade values with no added value for the cancels! 2024 Unitrade =	$327.00	$48.00 1805
98	Canada Cancels - A cancel collector’s dream. A 68-litre Rubbermaid container holds all of the loose scraps from a voracious cancel collector. Both on and off paper, some in "102" cards, some in glassines, most are loose. Nothing but chaos, with a bit of material going back to the Victorian-era and with some up to about 2020. Not everything has a clean cancel, but conservatively 50% do, with strength from Western Canada, but there is something from almost everywhere. Tens of thousands of stamps. There should be some better individual stamps, but most of the appeal lies in the hand cancels, either for the cancel collector or for the collector looking for striking examples to improve the look of their used Canadian collection. Estimate =	$300.00	$95.00 3732
99	Canada Cancels - Balance of an Elizabethan cancel hoard on covers, piece and stamp, enough to fill a banker’s box. The covers are primarily in two groups. a handful of #10 covers with Alberta cancels from the late 1950’s and then a batch of odd-sized commercial mail cancelled across the country with lots of hand cancels circa.2010. The stamps and pieces includes a seemingly random assortment on about 1500 "102" cards - many like-new with no markings, each with a single stamp with a readable cancel. The lot also has an old cigar box and a small plastic tub with an assortment of more cancelled stamps from all over. A few hundred covers, and a few thousand cancelled stamps. Offered as received. Estimate =	$180.00	$42.00 6012
100	Canada Cancels - Banker’s box with "on and off" paper mini-hoard of used 1967-1980 stamps, with strength in the Centennial issue, which was the start of a cancel and paper-type study. Some are on pages, some are in three older stockbooks crammed with stamps. Yet more are loose in a pair of envelope boxes. Noted a good mix of machine and hand cancels. Strength is in Alberta cancels. Untouched since it was piled together over 40 years ago. Thousands of stamps. Estimate =	$180.00	$32.00 6012
101	Canada Cancels - Modern cancel accumulation on stamp or piece, mounted on home-made stockpages in four large binders filling a banker’s box. Most are Centennial to about 2007, with strength in Western Canada. Includes lots of hand cancels, both metal and rubber with some machine cancels on piece. Lots of variety of cancel type, province and issue. Although mounted, there doesn’t seem to be any pattern to their organization. Expect a bit of duplication. Thousands of stamps here, with easily readable cancels and the potential for modern gems! From the estate of a Canadian cancel aficionado. Estimate =	$160.00	$26.00 6012
102	Canada Cancels - Ontario Postmarks A-Z, on collector made albums pages, arranged chronologically from Edward to QEII (Victorian lotted separately in this sale). A very choice collector built offering of 507 items, with the majority being "socked on the nose" stamps, with a few on piece. Any multiples were only counted as a single item. Take a good look at the scans to appreciate the quality of the offering. Estimate =	$150.00	$190.00 6645
103	Canada Cancels - Ontario Postmarks A-Z, Queen Victoria ONLY, arranged on collector made albums pages. A high-quality offering of 338 items (multiples were counted only as 1 item), the majority being "socked on the nose" QV Small Queens to Numeral issues, with a small number of stamps on piece included as well. Take a good look at the photos to appreciate the time / effort it would take to assemble such a nice holding. Estimate =	$200.00	$170.00 6645
104	Canada Cancels - Quebec Postmarks A-Z, on collector made albums pages, arranged chronologically from Edward to QEII (Victorian lotted separately in this sale). A very choice collector built offering of 418 items, with the majority being "socked on the nose" stamps, with a few on piece. Any multiples were only counted as a single item. Take a good look at the scans to appreciate the quality of the offering. Estimate =	$150.00	$130.00 6214
105	Canada Cancels - Quebec Postmarks A-Z, Queen Victoria ONLY, arranged on collector made album pages. A diverse and premium offering of 118 QV issues from Small Queens to Numerals, all featuring "socked on the nose" postmarks. Any multiples were counted as single items. Lots of premium postmarks here. Estimate =	$120.00	$24.00 4613
106	Canada Cancels - RPO Railway Postmark Holding of over 65 covers / postcards a over 100 cancels on stamp / piece. A bit messy, but full of opportunity with a wide range of QV to QEII era items, plus Railway runs that span the country (Western, ONT / QUE, Eastern). Some are identified, while others still need to be researched. Should be a fun group to sort through and identify! Estimate =	$130.00	$130.00 4453
107	Canada Cancels - Unbelievable hoard of 1977-1983 medium to high value used, hand cancelled, plate blocks on piece, from an extensive correspondence between a stamp collector in Edmonton and a friend in Poland. From what we can tell, every couple of weeks, he would send a good sized parcel by registered mail, franked with 50c-$5.00 plate blocks (lots of National Parks issues), many in matched sets and hand cancelled (mostly with an Edmonton Sub 58 POCON cancel). The plate blocks were cut from the parcels and dutifully returned to the collector who mounted them chronologically in page protectors. Clean, fresh and attractive. We roughly counted 400 plate blocks. Some of the larger pieces include shipping information which could make it possible to figure out which rate they paid. A study opportunity that doesn’t come up often (or ever)! Estimate =	$250.00	$70.00 3739
108	Canada Covers - "The Story of Canada" First Day Covers with Matching Mint Stamps. Very expensive "by subscription" collection of specially prepared deluxe First Day Covers in four volumes. This "The Story of Canada" collection consists of 84 different gold foil cacheted FDCs, all mounted on a full colour illustrated page with a story on the event being commemorated, along with a VF mint NH Canadian (or Newfoundland) stamp also associated with the event. Not quite a complete run of all the covers, as many of the subscribers ended the acquisition of these pricey items ($9.95 each for an original cost for this lot of $835.80) as the cost became excessive. Still a great collection for the fan of Canadian history and scarce cachet types for the FDC cachet collector. Estimate =	$150.00	$36.00 6330
109	Canada Covers - A few thousand Canada Official first day covers filling a bankers box, generally ranging from 1973 to the 1990s, noting singles, pairs, blocks, coil strips, souvenir sheet, plate blocks (including a few matched sets), and high denomination frankings (up to $5). Duplication up to 5 in some cases. A nice lot throughout. Estimate =	$150.00	$160.00 5440
110	Canada Covers - Accumulation of about 100 Victorian-era stampless covers, covers and postal stationery. Includes 8 stampless folded letters and envelopes, followed by about 60 postal stationery cards (noted P3 and 2 copies of P4 used to Newfoundland in the 1880s), and then there are about 30 covers with Small Queens. Might be some printed backs or cancel interest (especially Ontario and Quebec). Condition will be a bit mixed. Offered as received from an old time holding. Estimate =	$240.00	$80.00 6118
111	Canada Covers - Airmail FFC First Flight Covers 1929-1950 from across Canada but with emphasis on the Western and North-Western flights from the 1930's. There are 124 covers in total, the majority are franked with the Airmail Franking (Back of the Book stamps) of the period. A good lot for the airmail collector, or someone looking to beef up their holding of early Canadian airmail material. Conservatively estimated at less than $1.50 per cover. Estimate =	$180.00	$110.00 5979
112	Canada Covers - Alberta cancel mini-hoard in a bankers box. The results of at least three collectors who collaborated to obtain hand cancels from every post office and (more importantly) sub-post office in the province. A very successful partnership that involved research, patience and a substantial financial commitment. Many of these cancels will likely only exist because of their work. This was the balance of one of the collector’s stamp room, and has no indication of any order. A banker’s box is filled with philatelic, favour, personal and commercial covers (plus a number of cut-down covers and large pieces), of both #8 and #10 sized mostly from 1990-2022, but with scattered items back to the 1950’s. Expect some minor duplication amongst the approximately 1700 covers. It cost a small fortune to acquire, and it will take a larger fortune if you try to repeat this venture. A bargain at the estimated value. Estimate =	$250.00	$60.00 4533
113	Canada Covers - Alberta town cancel collector’s box of unprocessed covers and cards, which had been acquired, but hadn’t made it into the collection, yet.

There is a good batch of commercial and philatelically created covers with 6 digit rectangular or round cancels, plus a number of pictorial CDS cancels from the early 2000s. Strength is in the modern covers with many short-lived rubber stamp cancels on #8 envelopes. Over 280 covers in total. Estimate =	$140.00	$60.00 4533
114	Canada Covers - Bankers box of roughly 1,500 Canada First day covers, ranging from the 1970s to the 1990s, along with a few post 2000, with a mix of official cachets and private made cachets (noting Rose Craft and NR), Senate of Canada postmarks, noting singles, blocks, plate blocks and high denomination frankings.

115	Canada Covers - British Columbia Picture Postcards. Group of roughly 175 primarily British Columbia postcards (noting a few from Alberta), from the classic period up to the 1950s, noting a variety of different views (mostly from Vancouver, but saw other towns), including ships, buildings, street scenes, parks, bridges, CPR views, hotels, Canadian Rockies, and more.

Towns included are Kemano, Minstrell Island, Croydon Station, Wardner, Wycliffe, Pink Mountain, Prince George, Ferguson, Burrard Inlet, Sinclair Mills, Jedway and Radium Hot Springs. Registered mail is one of the best ways to collect postmarks, as there usually multiple strikes of the origin town, but also rates and routes which add an interesting additional aspect to each item. Each is individually sleeved and priced. Total retail as marked =	$315.00	$32.00 6458
132	Canada Covers - British Columbia Postal History. Trio of better Queen Victoria items. A wonderful group of three better Queen Victoria era items, each with its own attractive collecting interest. Lot includes Vancouver & Naas Harbour CPR Steamer Tee 1902 (oval steamship cancel cover), Harrison Hot Springs 1902 Hotel / Sanitarium advertising cover, Victoria 1899 TN Hibben illustrated Klondike Gold Rush postcard.

133	Canada Covers - British Columbia Postal History. WRECK of the SS Ohio 1909 off Carter Bay, north of Bella Bella.

A historical piece, expertly written up on exhibit page with a couple photocopy pictures of the ship. Ex. Andrew Scott collection. Estimate =	$400.00	$110.00 6012
134	Canada Covers - British Columbia Postmark Hoard #1. The first of two felt / cloth boxes (about the size of shoebox) containing approximately 400 covers with BC postmarks. Primarily QEII era covers, with earlier items mixed in throughout. A wealth of postmarks here, selected for (primarily) hand cancels (split ring, CDS, POCON, Retail Centre, machine). Well worth the estimate of 50c per cover. Estimate =	$200.00	$110.00 6458
135	Canada Covers - British Columbia Postmark Hoard #2. The first of two felt / cloth boxes (about the size of shoebox) containing approximately 400 covers with BC postmarks. Primarily QEII era covers, with earlier items mixed in throughout. A wealth of postmarks here, selected for (primarily) hand cancels (split ring, CDS, POCON, Retail Centre, machine). Well worth the estimate of 50c per cover. Estimate =	$200.00	$110.00 6458
136	Canada Covers - British Columbia postmarks. Many 100's of first day covers in a box, generally ranging from the 1940s to the 1990s, collected for British Columbia town postmarks, containing a few hundred different towns, including Rural and Sub post offices. We note CDS, MOON, POCON, postmark types just to name a few. A nice addition for the British Columbia enthusiast. Estimate =	$150.00	$26.00 4533
137	Canada Covers - British Columbia RELATED Postal History. A quartet of stampless covers dated 1818-1937 from John Baldwin to his business partner Julius Quesnel in Montreal. Julius Quesnel (1786-1842) was a Fur Trader / Clerk with the Northwest Company. He assisted David Thompson with his explorations in 1805-1806 and travelled with Simon Fraser on his exploration of the Fraser River in 1808. The Quesnel River, Quesnel Lake and town of Quesnel, British Columbia were named after him. Quesnel returned east in 1811 and served with the Montreal Militia in the War of 1812 obtaining the rank of Lieutenant. He eventually settled in Montreal as a merchant. Great Canadian historical item with a BC connection. Estimate =	$250.00	$375.00 4247
138	Canada Covers - British Columbia, Prince Rupert Postcards. Group of 21 Prince Rupert, B.C., postcards sleeved in an album. From the classic period up to the 1950s, noting buildings, totem poles, waterway views and more. Lot includes a few real photo cards as well. A few faults on a few of the cards, overall fine to better. Estimate =	$120.00	$75.00 6266
139	Canada Covers - Diverse accumulation of over 400 covers, from QV to QEII era from "coast to coast" assembled within a small felt box (about the size of a shoebox). A wide range of material here, seemingly random but including rates / destinations / postmarks / postal stationery and commemorative covers (just to name a few). We noted a fairly good size batch (75+) of Small Queen covers, although the condition on these ranges, with many in somewhat rough condition. That being said, at the estimated value of less than 50c per cover, there will be lots of value here and a fun sort for any cover lover. Estimate =	$200.00	$260.00 6592
140	Canada Covers - FDC Holding. A mixed box of cacheted First Day Covers from 1960-1986, mostly unaddressed, with a range of both private and Canada Post cachets. Includes 25 "Schering" FDCs 1965-1971 on assorted sizes and franked covers (these are addressed). There is a dealer book with 1972-1974 private and Canada Post cachets, including multiple blocks of the 1972 Geological issue. Next is a small box with about 100 different Canada Post cachets (1974-1982) each with a single plate block (noted Olympic Architecture and National Parks issues to $2.00), that also has a group of covers single franked (1966-1974). There is a shoebox filled with many larger sized FDCs (as they are souvenir sheets) along with regular sized issues (1960-1986). Finally, the box is rounded out with Volume One of "The Story of Canada" with 20 covers issued 1982-1984 with their distinctive gold foil cachets, on presentation pages in specialty binder and slipcover (original cost over $200.00). A few hundred FDC, with only some minor duplication. Estimate =	$180.00	$22.00 4533
141	Canada Covers - First Day Cover Bankers Box accumulation with both private and Canada Post cachets. In chronological order there are five 3-ring binders covering 1964-1972 with unaddressed Rosecraft cachets (usually three per issue), plus up to 50 of each stamp mint (so there are a few bucks worth of postage) and often a few used stamps as well. Next is an envelope box filled with 1972-1974 Canada Post cacheted FDCs in bulk. There is a good-sized handful of #10 FDCs from 1972-1981 with "House of Commons" cachets and the stamp cancelled with the green ink House of Commons meter. To round out the lot is a small handful of 2015-2018 Canada Post FDCs with small sized souvenir sheets (original stamp cost $103.00 on these alone). Fills a bankers box to the brim. Estimate =	$180.00	$38.00 5979
142	Canada Covers - First Day Cover Holding (Private Cachet). Many hundreds of private cachet first day covers, ranging from the late 1940s to 1973, noting Rose Craft, Cole, Schering, Caneco, among other private cachet makers. We note single, blocks, and plate blocks frankings, including a few matched sets. Duplication up to 5 in a few cases. A nice grouping, overall very fine. Estimate =	$200.00	$42.00 4533
143	Canada Covers - First Day Covers. Selection of 14x the 1932 (C3) Airmail 6c on 5c surcharge stamp on FDC, each postmarked from a different city, with the majority being addressed to Vancouver. We noted that 8 are signed by postmasters! 2024 Unitrade =	$350.00	$55.00 1786
144	Canada Covers - Group of 257 "modern" late 1970's to early 1990's oversize registered covers, all addressed to "The Medical Council of Canada" in Ottawa" from primarily Western Canada (strength in Alberta). The "hidden in plain sight" value here is the tremendous amount of diverse registered letter rates, using a wide range of definitive and commemorative issues of the period (of note, Mammals, Artifacts and "dollar values"). Along with the tremendous amount of different rates and stamp combinations is a wealth of period "hand cancel" postmarks with many small towns, but also "hub" Sub Offices (many of these were only open for short periods). Estimate =	$150.00	$60.00 5614
145	Canada Covers - House of Commons First Day Cover Collection 1958-1980. A wonderful run of House of Commons cachet / illustrated meter FDC's, with 416 covers spanning 22 years (likely a near complete run for the period). All arranged within two deluxe Unisafe padded oversize FDC albums and a small bundle of loose FDC. We don't see runs this comprehensive often. All addressed to a common addressee in Montreal (Westmount). Estimate =	$250.00	$325.00 1786
146	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 =	$250.00	$85.00 3827
147	Canada Covers - Manitoba Picture Postcards. Group of 108 mostly classic Manitoba postcards, generally ranging from 1910s to 1950s, in 4-pocket protection pages, in a binder. We note mostly Winnipeg views of streets, buildings (including banks, schools), places of interest, parks and more. We note a few real photo cards in the group as well. A nice lot for the Manitoba collector. Estimate =	$120.00	$55.00 6150
148	Canada Covers - Manitoba Postmarks / First Day Covers. Many hundreds of Canada first day covers, primarily from the 1980s to the 1990s, collected for Manitoba postmarks, containing a few hundred different towns, noting CDS, MOON, POCON, and more. Few have private cachets, with the vast majority uncacheted first day covers. Nice addition to any collection. Estimate =	$150.00	$110.00 6150
149	Canada Covers - Many 100s of Canada first day covers collected for Maritime postmarks, generally ranging from the 1970s to the 1990s, but did spot a few earlier ones. Most of the postmarks are from Nova Scotia, along with Prince Edward Island and a few from New Brunswick, containing a few hundred different towns, noting c.d.s, MOON, POCON, and other postmark types. Most of the covers are uncacheted, along with a few having privately made cachets. A clean grouping, worthwhile for either the postmark or FDC aspect. Estimate =	$150.00	$110.00 6150
150	Canada Covers - Mid-Elizabethan collection of Alberta registered covers in five homemade "folios". About 350 covers all addressed to the Alberta Health Care administration, mostly 1974-1985, covering different rates (including for overweight envelopes). Sorted by post offices with "G" to "Y" towns (including a number of Lethbridge and Medicine Hat sub offices), plus Calgary subs 63 to 148 and Edmonton main post office, plus a few Stations and Sub-Offices. Besides the interesting rates, there is a host of short-lived and certainly obsolete hand cancels, registered markings, etc. Presumably a number of these post offices are also gone or changed status. The only downside to this lot is that part of making these albums involved taping the covers in. Most will remove with minimal damage, but it will slow down the process. An opportunity that doesn’t come around very often. Estimate =	$200.00	$75.00 3208
151	Canada Covers - Modern cancel hunt filling a pair of envelope boxes with the results of a circa 2008-2009 mail out to Post Offices across the country with a self-addressed stamp envelope requesting the post office to return it with a hand cancellation from that Post Office. This effort resulted in several hundred #10 covers from "rural" post offices, mostly franked with commemoratives or Christmas issues struck with 6-digit POCON/HRIS or "Wing" cancels, or the "Pictorial" CDS cancels that were popular at the time. We didn’t see any Quebec or Northwest Territories, but there is lots of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland-Labrador and Ontario, with about a half box from the Western Provinces. Postmasters sometimes included notes about the post office, or the closure dates for Post Offices. These get to be a more and more expensive proposition each year, so take advantage of this 15 year-old effort. Estimate =	$200.00	$70.00 6468
152	Canada Covers - Not your usual group of philatelically-inspired covers and FDCs. Between 1971 and 1984, this Edmonton-area collector/dealer created about 300 covers with no cachets, but used value added services (typically registration or Special Delivery). When he mounted the covers in four 3-ring binders, he added a number of brochures, posters or the inserts that came when buying complete panes. The covers are #10 sized or bigger and used the contemporary stamp(s) along with some older issues to make up the rate. The covers usually had post office labels added, typically for the service and/or a "1st Class" or "Fragile" label. The items were sent from a range of post offices, with hand cancels, so a number of cancels await the postmark collector (including a few MOON cancels). Estimate =	$180.00	$210.00 1786
153	Canada Covers - Picture Postcard Literature. A seldom seen holding of literature relating to BC (and at times Alberta) picture postcards. Topics include "Harmon Postcards" (three different publication by Earle Covert), Valentine Postcards of Western Canada, BC Printing & Litho Postcards, Fred Spalding's Camera Products Company, Postcards of BC by Valentine, Photos by Leonard Frank, BC in the decade of the 1950's (JC Walker postcards), Biographies of BC Postcard Photographers and British Columbia Historical Postcards Guide to Publishers. A total of 11 publications. Tough to find as these were usually only done in small print runs. Estimate =	$140.00	$70.00 5859
154	Canada Covers - Postal Stationery Holding. Large accumulation of Canada postal stationery filling a bankers box, ranging from the Victorian to the modern era, noting a wide variety of items including postal cards, reply cards, wrappers, postage paid cards (roughly 50), uncut sheets, envelopes, and more. Face value totals at least $120 counting modern envelopes only ranging 30c to 45c each. Some of the early items catalogue in the $3 to $5 range. Nice lot with good possibilities, overall very fine. Estimate =	$150.00	$180.00 5440
155	Canada Covers - SASK Saskatchewan Postal History. Town postmark holding of 232 covers (and a few postcards), arranged alphabetically A-Z and seemingly all different by either town or postmark type. Most are favor covers, send "under-cover" to these Post Offices (many rural) to obtain the postmark and are dated from the 1970's to 1990's. Often these "favor" cancels were the only way to obtain a good showing of town postmarks. Estimate =	$120.00	$60.00 5388
156	Canada Covers - Shoebox filled with a couple hundred Canadian covers, with clean emphasis on QEII era Postal Stationery (noted CN Express "flimsies" and "Meteorological Return" envelopes), plus a flurry of Post Office covers, Free Frank envelopes, Certified Mail and "G" / "OHMS" officials. An interesting mix, from a local estate. Estimate =	$150.00	$24.00 3773
157	Canada Covers - Slogan Cancel, George V Admiral Holding. A well above-average offering of 24 covers and 17 pieces / cut squares, all featuring slogan postmarks from Eastern Canada. All are sleeved and identified with Coutt's catalogue numbers and catalogue value, with additional notations (such as Die number). Catalogue values up to $60.00! Total Coutt's catalogue value adds up to $1031.00. Estimate =	$150.00	$15.00 6012
158	Canada Covers - U-Haul box packed with Alberta Health Services return envelopes from the 6c era (1969-1970), mostly non-standard sized envelopes used with commemoratives. As you would expect, most are used from Alberta, with many small town cancels seen. There is also an indication that the person who pulled these envelopes was interested in paper types, so a UV-lamp may help with your exploration. Approximately 1500 covers, lots of duplication amongst the stamps, some amongst the post office cancels. Untouched for over 50 years! Estimate =	$150.00	$95.00 3619
159	Canada Covers - Western Canada cancel stash in different forms from different sources. BC is covered with a shoebox of around 500 #8 covers back to the KEVII era, but mostly early Elizabethan (could be some interesting corner cards). Alberta has two small binders, one with "R" towns the other from "T" towns on stamp, piece and cover. Saskatchewan towns of "D" to "O" post offices are sorted in unused Canada First Day cachet covers, and a mounted collection of "A" to "E" towns. There is a small but clean collection of Manitoba collections. The rest of Canada is included in the balance which are examples from the 1934 "Cartier", the "War" and the 1949 "Cabot/Newfoundland" issues. Estimate =	$180.00	$22.00 5388
160	Canada Precancels - Collection / Accumulation of QV to QEII Precancels. A 16-page Linder brand "alligator" stockbook, plus an additional group of 20 stockpages containing approximately 2300 stamps including 48x 1c Small Queens. Duplicated (as to be expected), but not checked for constant varieties. These stamps originally came from a collection in the Netherlands, likely the first time many of these have been repatriated in some time. Owner's estimated precancel catalogue value =	$1,600.00	$260.00 5596
161	Canadian Provinces - British Columbia #17. Sound and Fine used example of the 1869 issue 50 CENTS surcharge on 3p violet "Seal of BC", perf 12½ x 12½. Clear "35" numeral cancel (Victoria). A couple short perfs, but a rare pre-Confederation classic in much nicer than usual condition. 2024 Scott US$1000.00 =	$1,350.00	$230.00 3587
162	Canadian Provinces - British Columbia #18. Fine appearing, but faulty used example of the 1869 issue "1 DOLLAR 1" surcharge on 3p green Seal of BC, perf 12½ x 12½, with light unobtrusive grid cancel in black. Watermark Crown and CC. Sealed tear at left and a few perf faults, but still a very presentable spacefiller example of this pre-Confederation colonial rarity. 2024 Scott US$1,750.00 =	$2,362.50	$325.00 3543
163	Canadian Provinces - British Columbia - A seldom offered "batch" of British Columbia stamps, including #2 (two unused, no gum examples), #5 (unused, no gum), #6 (two used examples), #7 (four used examples), #8 (three unused, no gum), #9 (used) and #11 (two unused, one used). Overall condition is average for this period, with several small perf faults or rounded corners. A great study group to keep what you need and sell / trade the remainder. Estimate =	$250.00	$750.00 6301
164	Canadian Provinces - New Brunswick #1, 1a. F/VF appearing duo of shades of the first 3p red "Crown and Heraldic Flowers" issue of New Brunswick. The red shade has over 2 wide margins and two which are close (but still mostly clear) and has a full, but light dotted-grid cancel. The dark red shade has four clear margins (just a little close on one side) with an oval cancel (numeral is off the stamp). Both have thins, but are are nonetheless attractive copies. 2024 Scott US$1200.00 =	$1,620.00	$210.00 4261
165	Canadian Provinces - Newfoundland #61/266, C6, J1, J1a. Selection of 95 different 1897-1943 Newfoundland issues, all being either Lightly Hinged or Never Hinged, arranged and notated on two stockpages. A very clean group, perfect to fill a few spots in your NFLD album and sell / trade the remainder. 2025 Scott US$1019.00 =	$1,375.65	$220.00 6108
166	Canadian Provinces - Nova Scotia #1. Scarce mint part-original gum example of the 1d red-brown Queen Victoria issue on blue paper from 1853. This example with 2 narrow, but clear margins and 2 sides where which are cut close / just into to the design. Previous owner mark on the reverse (mentioned "for the record"). 2024 Scott US$4000.00 =	$5,400.00	$400.00 6087
167	Canadian Provinces - Nova Scotia #5. Lovely used example of the 6d dark green "Crown and Heraldic Flowers" on blue paper, from 1857. With four large, even margins and a light grid cancel. The only downside is a hinge thin, which does not take away from the eye appeal of this beautiful classic, which will look good in any album at a fraction of a fault-free example. 2024 Scott US$2750.00 =	$3,712.50	$325.00 4261
168	Cape of Good Hope - Old-time holding of 98 stamps from the early "Triangles" to Edward VII, mounted on 1919 published Stanley Gibbons pages. Left as received, to be offered as an old-time research offering for the student of early British Africa. Also included (but not counted in the stamp total) is a page of stationery cut-squares and some revenue stamps. Estimate =	$130.00	$55.00 4564
169	Cape of Good Hope/Natal #3, 5b, 31b. Trio of Southern African colony issues. Starts with two Cape triangles, a 1p red (with a partial numeral cancel) and a 6d grayish-lilac on blue paper (heavy cancel), both with usual minor faults and mixed margins. The lot concludes with a used example of the 3p blue of Natal with the first "Postage." overprint, a fine example. Total 2024 Scott US$927.50 =	$1,252.13	$55.00 3408
170	Ceylon and Maldive Islands - One man’s accumulation that was the result of lots of purchasing, and not much organizing. The Ceylon is often on various album pages, but there are some intriguing envelopes, glassine and stockcards of unsorted material. Much is pre-Sri Lanka, but some issues circa 2000 are seen. The Maldives have some of the earlier mint issues followed by a long break and then resume with some 1990s "topical-rich" issues such as Marilyn, Elvis, etc. Estimate =	$170.00	$65.00 3509
171	China #56, 70. Used duo of 1897 surcharge issues, including the 1/2c on 3c orange yellow and 10c on 9c green. Both with minor perf faults, but also tidy CDS postmarks. 2024 Scott US$460.00 =	$621.00	$32.00 5742
172	China - A new source, and a one-time opportunity, for one of these popular lots of Chinese miscellany. In this small bundle we note a mint souvenir sheet of the 1941 "Reconstruction" issue and a battered version of the 1944 "Refugees" semi-postal. There are two different sets of local overprints on the 1933 "Tan Yuan-chang" issues, plus some China, PRC and the start of a Manchukuo mounted collection (with some dealer duplicates). Enjoy the search! Estimate =	$200.00	$160.00 6426
173	China Literature - A high-quality duo of important Chinese philatelic reference books, including "The Revenue Surcharges China 1897" Vol.1 (the "Red Revenues" issue, 318 pages, hardcover, with dust-jacket) and "Postage Stamp Catalogue of The Republic of China 1878-1996" (608 pages, hardcover). Both books wonderfully and immensely illustrated in full colour, published by the Directorate General of Posts, Republic of China. Examples we could find online were priced at US$200.00 (Revenue Surcharges) and US$125.00 (Republic of China) respectively. Estimate =	$150.00	$42.00 6448
174	Cyprus #3/179. Fifty-five mint Queen Victoria to King George V beauties mounted on five album pages, mostly "Keyplate" designs but with 4 values from the "50th Anniversary" set, and most of the 1934 commemorative set (just missing a couple cheaper values) finishing with a nice set of the 1935 Silver Jubilee set. Fresh appearance, and mostly lightly hinged. Total 2024 Scott US$776.05 =	$1,047.67	$70.00 3683
175	Cyprus #3/569. Substantial mounted "first century" collection of used issues ranging from early Queen Victoria to the 1981 Royal Wedding. Starts with a complete set of the 1882 and most of the 1894 definitives, with a nice copy of "1/2d" revalued #26a. There is a good range of King Edward VII to King George V definitives and the commemorative issues from KGV to early QEII are just missing the occasional higher value. The last quarter century is a bit hit or miss, with no souvenir sheets. With an additional page of higher value KGV issues used (and priced) as revenues. Everything here post-1960 was not included in the total catalogue value. Total 2024 Scott US$1041.95 =	$1,406.63	$160.00 6274
176	Cyprus #10. Great Britain 1p "Penny Red" with "Cyprus" overprint, subsequently revalued with a 13mm "Half-Penny" overprint. From the scarce plate 205, position "F-Q". Fresh and with typical centering. The gum has its usual crackling, and there is some significant album offset and adhesion to the back. One of the key Victorian-era issues of this popular Mediterranean British colony. 2024 Scott US$425.00 =	$573.75	$100.00 3683
177	Cyprus #48-59. Stunning complete mint lightly hinged King Edward VII definitive set of 12 issued between 1904 to 1907. Each copy is lovely and fresh, with the exception of the 6pi value has some creasing and a damaged lower perf (as such, not counted in the total catalogue value). 2024 Scott US$378.25 =	$510.64	$130.00 6268
178	Cyprus - Collection and accumulations. Sorted / Unsorted, Mint / Used, Singles / Sets. The balance of a fine estate, with several sets of album pages (including two partial sets of Scott International pages in an older green 2-post binder). It’s hard to tell what is here because of the disorganization but noted lots of "Keyplate" issues from QV-KGV, some early Europa common design issues and lots of 20th century material up to about year 1998. The mint is mostly hinged. Could be some better cancels amongst the used. Expect light to moderate duplication. A bonus item is a 32-page green Uni-Safe stockbook lightly populated with used QEII, perfect to help sort this all out. Estimate =	$180.00	$75.00 6071
179	Czechoslovakia #1754/3187. Small shoebox filled with #8 sized envelopes with singles, sets and wholesale quantities of mostly used, but also some mint material issued between 1971 and 2001. There is also a small handful of about 45 souvenir and mini-sheets, both mint and used, most from the 1980s (most catalogue $4.00-$12.00, each) but noted #3517 with text for a philatelic show (catalogues $30.00). We don’t see many Czech lots of this type. Estimate =	$140.00	$65.00 6685
180	Danish West Indies #1/30. Part 1: A homemade quadrilled dealer page with 19 mint and used DWI issues, including different printings. Identified by Scott numbers (but priced in 1977!) and with a touch of duplication, we noted #1 used, #2 mint, #11 used, #30 used (lovely "St Thomas" cancel). Where there is a lack of clarity with the Scott sub-number, we have taken the lower price. A few minor faults are to be expected. Total 2024 Scott US$949.35 =	$1,281.62	$110.00 6466
181	Danish West Indies #14/49, J1/J5. Part 2: A homemade quadrilled dealer page with 26 mint and used DWI issues, including different printings. Identified by Scott numbers (but priced in 1977!) and with a touch of duplication, we noted #14 mint (touch of perf foxing), 24c mint, 38 and 39 mint, J2 (2 copies, both mint), J5 mint. Where there is a lack of clarity with the Scott sub-number, we have taken the lower price. A few minor faults are to be expected. Total 2024 Scott US$818.20 =	$1,104.57	$100.00 6466
182	Denmark #2/219 plus Back of the Book. A compact, yet powerful selection of 130 mint and (mostly) used stamps 1851-1930, including "back of the book" issues, neatly arranged and identified on 3 stockpages. What starts off as a showing of many of the early issues up to 1930, then shifts to the "back of the book" with Postage Dues, Semi-Postals, Airmails. Officials, Parcel Post and Newspaper Stamps. While there will be the odd faulty, overall a very clean group. Expect the mint to be hinged. Take a good look at the scans to appreciate the high-quality offering here. 2025 Scott US$4625.50 = $6244.40 CDN. Estimate =	$500.00	$220.00 6466
183	Denmark #25/219, Q12-Q14. A stockpage with stamps from 4 different issues. Nine of the ten values from the first "Ore" definitives are quite nice (the 20o is missing and the 25o has a small tear and is not counted). The Christian X set appears quite nice, but most have hinge remnants and most of the gum is quite thin or missing (set not counted). The trio of parcel post overprints are a fresh, hinged set. The only used set is the first "GPO, Copenhagen" issue, perf 13 with a couple of nice overlapping cancels. Total 2024 Scott US$627.00 =	$846.45	$55.00 3961
184	Denmark - Retired Circuit Book Holding. Mint and Used selection of 200 stamps, spread out on pages within 12 retired APS circuit books (it can look quite sparse, but the value adds up!). A nice range of both regular and "back of the book" issues, with individual values us to US$200.00 Scott Catalogue. Expect the odd fault and some duplication, but overall a very strong holding. 2025 Scott US$5319.25 = $7181.00 CDN. Estimate =	$600.00	$170.00 2299
185	Denmark - Three album pages with an assortment of used 19th century issues, many of which appear to have been chosen for the quality of the cancel, as there are many beauties. The condition is a bit mixed, as you would expect, with lots of stamps having catalogue values in the $40.00 to $190.00 range. Terrific lot for the "classics" collector. Offered "as received" from a local estate. Estimate =	$200.00	$85.00 5295
186	Egypt - Three albums and a bag hold this accumulation of post-war Egypt (strong in Palestinian overprints), UAR and Palestine. Most as originally purchased by this collector in the early 1980’s (so the prices are quite obsolete). A mix of mint and used, with better (noted a complete used set of Egypt N1-N19, catalogues US$110.00), plus nice sets and singles throughout. Not much material after 1970. One of the albums is an old Minkus binder with "UAR" on the cover and also includes pages for Syria (only a few stamps though). Estimate =	$150.00	$140.00 93
187	France #21. Used example of the 1fr lake, 1853 Napoleon III issue. A sound, clean copy with a partial numeral cancel. 3+ wide margins, close but clear at the bottom right and barely into the design in the upper left corner. A key early French issue. 2024 Scott US$2475.00 =	$3,341.25	$190.00 5902
188	France #226. The 1925 issue Philatelic Exhibition souvenir sheet of four 5 franc "Sowers". Postmarked "Exposition Philatelique, Paris", hinged in selvedge, but with all four stamps are VF MNH. A bit of handling wear in the selvedge (as usually seen), but much better than usually seen. 2024 Scott US$1100.00 =	$1,485.00	$250.00 1230
189	France #329. The 1937 International Philatelic Exhibition (PEXIP Exhibition) souvenir sheet, mint lightly-hinged in the selvedge, with never hinged stamps. These Exposition used sheets, which were only sold at the exhibition in Paris, a ticket of admission required for each sheet purchased. 2023 Scott US$360.00 =	$486.00	$95.00 1468
190	France #B1/B41. Lovely mint selection of semi-postal issues, from the 1914-1931 period, neatly hinged on a collector's album page.

194	France #Q9/Q254. Extensive offering of mint (hinged) and used Parcel Post stamps, with 212 stamps neatly hinged on collector album pages. Covering the period of 1918-1952 with a good mix of mint and used. A seldom seen opportunity to acquire such a comprehensive offering of these "back of the book" issues. Owner's older 2017 Scott US$4523.10 =	$6,106.20	$900.00 4827
195	France - Collection of 1924-1939 mint regular and semi-postal issues, comprising of 204 stamps neatly hinged on 10 collector album pages. Largely complete for the period. Owner's older 2017 Scott US$2669.00 =	$3,603.15	$290.00 1230

A mostly mint offering, hinged on collector pages with several better individual stamps noted (including the 5fr red from the 1925 souvenir sheet). Owner's older 2017 Scott US$749.05 =	$1,011.20	$95.00 1805
200	France - Early selection of 68 Ceres and Napoleon III issues, from the 1849-1872 period, neatly hinged on collector pages. A mix of mint and (mostly) used, with most of the imperforate stamps being 4-margin examples. Owner's older 2017 Scott US$3145.00 =	$4,245.75	$270.00 3811
201	France - Mint and Used circuit book remainder group, which adds up quickly and packs a punch! A high-quality offering of 353 French stamps from the 1849-1973 period, arranged on retired APS circuit books. Many better stamps, throughout, with any Never Hinged being arranged within mounts on the pages. A diverse offering, which encompasses both regular and "back of the book" issues and including a used example of J2 with APS certificate. Duplicated (as to be expected), but an excellent opportunity for a collector to enhance their French collection, or dealer looking to bolster their stock! Expect some small faults, but overall a clean offering. 2025 Scott US$9113.10 = $12302.70 CDN. Estimate =	$700.00	$650.00 5504
202	France - Mounted selection of the "Peace and Commerce" issue 1876-1878 type I (11 stamps) and 1876-1877 type II (21 stamps) including the harder to find 10c green (type II). All neatly hinged on a couple pages. Owner's older 2017 Scott US$2059.00 =	$2,779.65	$160.00 3811
203	France - Precancel Stamp Collection. A comprehensive and attractive offering of 203 stamps from the 1922-1994 period, neatly hinged on collector album pages. A colourful and enticing offering.

204	France - Selection of 18 perforated Ceres issues, with a mix of mint and (primarily) used, including postmark interest. An attractive offered, lightly duplicated (often for shades / cancels). Owner's older 2017 Scott US$729.00 =	$984.15	$75.00 1805

207	French Colonies - French Polynesia, New Caledonia, St. Pierre et Miquelon, French Egypt/Alexandria/Port Said, Indo-China and more. Album pages, stock cards and pages, glassines, back to the 19th century and up to about 1980. Some organized, most not. A mix of mint and used, with some cancel appeal and better singles throughout. The last French colonial lot coming from this amazing estate that we have been breaking up for a few months. Estimate =	$200.00	$110.00 4389
208	French Colonies - Pacific colony duo of New Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna, a combination of a mounted collection of "classics" up to about 1950 with a nice selection of "Navigation and Commerce", some overprints (including inverts) and common design issues. As the issues become more modern, the collection jumps around with a combination of dealer and "new issues" still in their original glassines up to about 2000. The catalogue value here adds up quickly. There is probably a bit of duplication, and the overall condition is excellent. Estimate =	$200.00	$140.00 4217
209	French Morocco/ Morocco - A wonderful "back of the book" assembly of mint and used French Morocco with a touch of Morocco (C1-C3, C5-C9) to finish things up.

A much more in-depth group than we usually see. 2025 Scott US$540.45 =	$729.60	$210.00 5016
210	French Polynesia - Cigar box filled with a "Last quarter of the 20th century" holding of mint issues, with a handful of "102" cards with 1970s-1988 regular issues, plus some airmails (these go back into the 1960's) followed by a small gap and then there are lots of "new issue" purchases from the 1990's into about 2001, with sets, souvenir sheets and airmails, most still in their original glassines with their original purchase price (up to $13.00 per glassine in US$) on the outside. Because of its disorganization, we can’t tell how complete this run is, but it will give you a good start at updating your French Pacific collection. Estimate =	$200.00	$120.00 163
211	French Reunion - Attractive selection of 432 mint and used stamps from the 1891-1974 period, including "back of the book" issues. A wonderful opportunity to pick up a much more comprehensive offering than usually seen. Owner's older 2017 Scott US$1884.15 =	$2,543.60	$210.00 2299

Highlights include a complete run of the issues in the first few years (the "Academy of Science" set is never hinged), the "Stamp on Stamp" issues semi-postals and two of the "15th anniversary" imperforate souvenir sheet, in nice condition. Most of the early issues are lightly hinged, and the collection is only missing the "Mao" set, the souvenir sheets, most definitive issues and the occasional stamp here and there. Overall the condition is excellent. Minor duplication. Estimate =	$200.00	$95.00 6516
213	German Democratic Republic #48/920, B14/B144. A "much better than usually seen" used collection of earlier DDR sets and singles in a 32-page stockbook, with issues from 1948-1967. Highlights include a complete run of the issues in the first few years (with the "Academy of Science" set, a very nice "Chairman Mao" trio, a complete set of the 1953 "Portraits", most with the upper corner sheet margins), the "Stamp on Stamp" issues semi-postals. The condition is generally good, missing only the souvenir sheets and the occasional stamp here and there. Estimate =	$220.00	$95.00 6516
214	German Democratic Republic #82-84. Complete mint Never Hinged "Chairman Mao" set in lovely condition with perfect, never hinged, gum with a fresh imprint and reasonable centering. Issued in 1951 to reflect the relationship between East Germany and China. We don’t often see this set in as nice condition. 2024 Scott US$205.00 =	$276.75	$65.00 5746
215	German Democratic Republic #330a/331a. Used booklet panes with printed red "X" on interleaving panes, cancelled to order with Leipzig circular cancel. Noted a single of #330a, 330b, 331a as well as an uncut block of six of both #330a and #331a. There is also a commercial airmail, express, cover used in 1959 to Canada with a pane each of #330a, 330b and 331a, but with the conventional panes found in booklets - a very desirable and scarce cover. Only a couple of minor faults are noted. Estimated catalogue value US$595.00 =	$803.25	$32.00 4389
216	German Democratic Republic - Collection of mint and used covering just over a quarter century of DDR issues, including some "back of the book". Includes a mix of assorted earlier sets and singles with catalogue values in the $5-$10 range, but with better such as the 50pf Mao, a nicely used examples of the "Engels" and "Thalmann" souvenir sheets and the 1958 semi-postal souvenir sheet #B35a with a "Buchenwald" cancel. There are over 1000 different stamps covering 1949-1977, with a bit of duplication. The collector appears to have acquired album pages from four different series (e.g. Lighthouse, Ka-be) and then amalgamated them together (with handwritten numbers in the lower corners). The pages are incomplete, and wouldn’t have all fit in one binder, hence the loose pages. Ignore this and focus on the attractive stamps that are here. Estimate =	$150.00	$75.00 6516
217	German Democratic Republic - Part exhibit, part specialized collection, part accumulation of the 1953 design definitives and the 1950’s officials, plus a bit of later official stamps which are listed in Michel, but not Scott. A mix of mint and used, with different Michel listings (including differing paper types, perforations, watermarks). With singles, sets, and some of the later Michel-listed officials include covers. Finishes with a couple pieces of original correspondence between the collector and East German agencies (in German). Appears to have been untouched for 60 years! Perfect to expand your DDR collection. Housed in a one-inch binder. Estimate =	$180.00	$20.00 2050
218	German Democratic Republic and Germany - A trio of Lighthouse stockbooks (1x 16-page, 2x 32-page) with an accumulation/stock of mint and used issues 1958-1990, including some souvenir sheets and sheetlets of 4 to 10 stamps each, with a bit of duplication. Lots of topical appeal here, including plants, animals, sports, space, transportation, music, etc. About halfway through the last stockbook, the DDR ends, and the Berlin begins, with lots of mint 1970s-1980s issues (noted some strips of three "safety" coils), with a bit of semi-postal material. The catalogue value of all this will add up quickly. Estimate =	$180.00	$55.00 2299
219	German Democratic Republic and Russian Zone locals #10N1/1300, 10NB1/B153. An attractive, older Lighthouse springback binder holds this very complete post-war East German collection. The locals include a good offering of Mecklenburg, East, West and Provincial Saxony, and Thuringen. The Russian Zone issues include 17 different "3 Berlin 8" with black overprints. The DDR issues are very complete, with a mix of mint and used throughout. Noted a fresh-looking set of the Mao issue, souvenir sheets 226a, 237a and 243a (all used) and other sets and singles with catalogue values to $10.00 each. About 1500 stamps in total, attractively mounted and generally very lightly hinged. Printed pages go to 1965 and then the collector added blank Lighthouse pages. Estimate =	$200.00	$130.00 4679
220	German Democratic Republic Covers - First part of a cover accumulation in a three-ring binder, covering 1959-1962. A mix of sets and singles including some back of the book with lots of rate potential. A total of 129 covers, mostly sent to Canada. Includes first day or commemorative covers, with lots of "plus" rated services such as airmail, special delivery and registered rates. Mostly hand cancelled, with a bit of duplication. Estimate =	$150.00	$24.00 2050
221	German Democratic Republic Covers - Second part of a cover accumulation in a three-ring binder, covering 1961-1967. A mix of sets and singles including some back of the book with lots of rate potential. A total of 146 covers, mostly sent to Canada. Includes first day or commemorative covers, with lots of "plus" rated services such as airmail, special delivery and registered rates. Mostly hand cancelled, with a bit of duplication. Estimate =	$150.00	$30.00 2050
222	German Democratic Republic Covers - The last section of this accumulation with covers galore in a pair of three-ring binders, covering 1969-1979. The first binder holds sets and singles on 205 standard sized covers (although there are a couple of parcel cards). The second has about 60 larger format sets and souvenir sheets. A few are to West Germany, but the majority were sent to Canada. Includes first day or commemorative covers, with lots of "plus" rated services such as airmail, special delivery and registered rates. Mostly hand cancelled, with a bit of duplication. Total 265 covers. Estimate =	$150.00	$32.00 3208
223	German Polish POW Camp Woldenberg - Visually powerful group of Polish Officer POW Camp Woldenberf 1942-1944 camp issued provisional local stamps. The camp was located 1km from Woldenberg housed (at its peak) 5944 officers and 796 orderlies in 25 brick huts, over the 62 acre camp. These philatelically inspired issues have had their use speculated on over the years, as to whether they had actual use (beyond philatelic creation). This lot includes 7 stamps and 3 postcards. Listed in Michel catalogue. Estimate =	$150.00	$85.00 6337
224	Germany #22. A used example of the key 1872 "2 kreuzer" orange value of the "Imperial Eagle with Large Shield". with a light, partial double ring circular date stamp. Nice perforations and just centered a touch high, typical for this issue. One of the important German Empire issues. 2024 Scott US$2250.00 =	$3,097.50	$200.00 4189
225	Germany #665/727. Selection of 1949-1955 mint German commemoratives and the "Heuss" definitive issue. A mix of never hinged (including #686, 690-2, 697-720) and hinged. A fresh group of 42 different stamps. Total 2024 Scott US$515.60 =	$696.06	$44.00 2299
226	Germany #665/1153, B309/B515. Don’t let the first appearances bother you. This is a post-war collection in an older, Ka-Be album. In the first decade (only), a previous owner added clear mounts, but their aging has not affected the stamps. Replacing the clear mounts with black mounts may solve the issue. In the meantime, there is a nice assortment of used 1949-1974 issues, including the 1949 "Reconstruction", "Stamp on Stamp", "von Stephan" issues with the Bach, 1953 and 1954 "Portraits" semi-postals. A bit "hit or miss" at first and then it becomes quite complete from 1961 onwards. The stamps themselves are in very nice condition, with many clean hand cancels. An attractive collection of over 400 stamps. Owner’s reasonable looking 2024 catalogue value US$615.00 =	$830.25	$36.00 6300
227	Germany #687/1153, B321/B515. Collector’s post-war duplicates in a 32-page Lighthouse stockbook, covering 1952 to 1974, with a nice mix of mint and used (and sometimes both). There is some light duplication with up to about 3 of a stamp, set or souvenir sheet. There is a bit of cancel potential and noticed a few coils and a few multiples that can vary the look of your collection. From 1955 onwards the material is quite complete including commemoratives, definitives and semi-postals. About 1100 stamps. Estimate =	$160.00	$55.00 4866
228	Germany #742/752. Ten full panes and one half-pane of mint never hinged German issues from 1956, purchased as an "investment" in 1967 by a German emigre and shipped back to West Germany. Comes with the original shipping envelope, correspondence and tally sheet, indicating a value of over 2000-DM at the time! Each pane has been stored in a page protector, leaving them in very nice condition, with only a bit of minor wrinkling in the selvedge on the odd sheet. The high value of the "Europa" issue is, unfortunately, only a half pane of 25. A couple of the issues have two panes. Total 2024 Scott US$1088.75 =	$1,469.18	$55.00 6685
229	Germany #1028/1044. Rate study/accumulation of "President Heinemann" issue of 1970-1972 on covers, postcards and parcel cards, mostly sent to Canada. Because of the time period, the different sizes and weights of the envelopes and the different services used (e.g. first class, express, registered, airmail, etc.) there is a plethora of rate combinations here. A total of 128 items, with a bit of duplication, and a few which appear to have their original contents. A few have overlap with other definitive issues, but this makes for a strong basis for study after 50 years. Estimate =	$150.00	$10.00 2050
230	Germany #B310/B349. Selection of 1949-1956 mint German semi-postals including the "Marienkirche" duo and a few of the "portraits" sets. A mix of never hinged (including #B324, B331, B334-337) and hinged. A fresh group of 34 different stamps. Total 2024 Scott US$394.50 =	$532.58	$38.00 6292
231	Germany #C36 Zeppelin Postcards. Attractive duo of 1928 postcards, each franked with the 2m "Graf Zeppelin Crossing Ocean" airmail stamp (#C36) and flown on the LZ-127 Air-Ship, with both addressed to New York USA. Catalogued as basic stamps used on cover / postcard. 2024 Scott US$180.00 =	$243.00	$55.00 6664
232	Germany - A shoebox filled with a "first century" accumulation of mostly used regular issues to the 1970s and semi-postals to the early 2000s, sorted into #8 window envelopes (many are CN Telegram envelopes or from smaller Western Canadian businesses). A couple of hundred envelopes with a couple of thousand stamps. Some cancel potential, and a bit of duplication. As received from an estate. Estimate =	$140.00	$22.00 2299
233	Germany - A very fractured assortment of album pages from at least two manufacturers covering 1872 to 1976 with about a thousand stamps which need your patience to sort it out. There isn’t much from the 19th century, but it gets stronger in the inflation, Third Reich with a bit of immediate post-war material. After about 1961, the material is all mint (and appearing to be mostly) never hinged. There are bits of nicer material here and there and likely better items that we haven’t noticed. As received from an estate. Mixed condition. Estimate =	$150.00	$46.00 5263
234	Germany - Estate offering of 400+ "Notgeld" currency notes (a bit different from our usual offerings), quasi-organized and within packs within a binder. The "Notgeld" or "Emergency Money" notes were produced by various German municipalities, companies and individuals between 1914 and 1923, without official government sanction, as a locally produced means of payment during a highly volatile inflation period for the country. Many of these notes feature elaborate colour illustrations depicting local landmarks, local legends and attractions. Offered as received, this being the 2nd (and final) installment of these currency notes, as received from a local estate. Estimate =	$250.00	$270.00 6482
235	Germany - Last and not least. This is the balance of a mostly post-war German hoard that we have been selling from a substantial estate. Three sections here. 1. A group of Germany-Berlin used issues up to the early 1980s, sorted in #8 envelopes (with a few having Eastern, post-war "local post" issues). Secondly are about 50 covers from Germany and DDR (some on pages, some loose), mostly used to Canada which might help for someone doing a rate study. The last part is a spineless 16-page stockbook with an assortment of Germany and DDR stamps (and a couple of mint DDR booklet panes) 1930-1975. Offered as received. Estimate =	$140.00	$22.00 2050
236	Germany - Pair of 32-page stockbooks with a stock of regular issues and semi-postals mostly issued 1973-1984. Primarily mint, often with two of a kind, with some scattered used stamps. There is some earlier material, such as a complete 1946 booklet and a bit of 1940s material, plus a few on piece that might have been selected for their cancels. Finishes with over 50 mint examples of the 1981 "machine postage"/Frama labels. Great for modern Germany or topical collectors or dealers. Estimate =	$200.00	$22.00 5263
237	Germany - Part 4 of a post-war holding of covers stuffing a large three-ring binder with a wide range of mostly personal and commercial mail sent to Canada 1983-1988, many still holding the original contents. Many are philatelically inspired with a nice selection of stamps that have been cleanly cancelled. Lots of "plus" rated services such as airmail, special delivery and registered rates, which will make for interesting rate studies. A total of 175 covers. Estimate =	$150.00	$22.00 3208
238	Germany - Part 5 (and final) part of a post-war holding of personal and philatelic covers filling a large three-ring binder. Most sent to Canada 1981-1983. Singles, sets and a good representation of the first "Frama" machine printed postal labels. Many are philatelically inspired with a nice selection of stamps that have been cleanly cancelled. Lots of "plus" rated services such as airmail and registered rates. Perfect for the student of modern rates. A total of 110 covers. Estimate =	$120.00	$22.00 3208
239	Germany - Post-war chaos! Not just the issues, but also the disorganized way that this collector put these sections together, including multiple pages from different manufacturers, and arranging the pages out of order. Patience will be a virtue here and while most of the items appear to be relatively common, some better could definitely be hiding. Most are 1948 and 1949 issues, including Zones and States under French, British, American and Soviet control (with a number of "local post" issues) plus some Saar issues, as well as a bit of regular German issues from this period. More used than mint, with a bit of minor duplication. Enjoy the hunt! Estimate =	$150.00	$65.00 3969
240	Germany - Specialized collection, including an exhibit, on West Germany "Computer Stamps" from 1981-1982, noting mint and used stamps (some on piece), and covers (roughly 100 in total). We note single and mixed denomination frankings, registered, overseas post card, and small packet rates, postmarks, etc. A lot to digest here on well organized pages. A nice modern lot, that can be expanded into a future exhibit or collection. Estimate =	$120.00	$38.00 3208
241	Germany - Well-loved 64-page Lighthouse stockbook, with a dizzying array or accumulation of mint and used. Starts with several pages of mint German semi-postals 1985-90 (often two of a set), followed by a few pages of used post-war regular and semi-postals up to about 1970 (noting #B309-311). Starting around 1970, the issues carry on but are now mostly mint (including a bit of semi-postals) up to 1984. The condition is generally good, and there are over 2000 stamps here. A great way to build a collection or stock. The stockbook needs a little repair, but the stamps will not do you wrong. Estimate =	$180.00	$28.00 2299
242	Germany and Area - You are not likely to want to keep this pair of battered 16-page stockbooks for long. However, you will be interested in its contents, which includes a mix of mint and used, mostly pre-1950. Noted several "States" represented, and Germany back to 1872 (lots of cancel potential). Danzig, Saar, Memel, Belgium overprints, Bohemia and Moravia, with some General Government, Ukraine overprints, and some interesting post-war Germany and DDR. A couple of thousand stamps with moderate duplication, a bit of mixed condition, but with lots of potential. As received from an estate. Estimate =	$180.00	$80.00 5107
243	Germany and Berlin - "Ersttagsblatt" First Day Cover Cards. A near complete run of regular issues for both Germany and Berlin from 1975-1992, neatly filed in chronological order. While there might be a couple of minor faults, they generally look as fresh as the day of issue. Probably 500 cards in total. These are listed (and priced) in Michel with most cataloguing in the €1-4 each. A great way to expand your German FDC collection. Estimate =	$150.00	$42.00 6300
244	Germany and Colonies - Retired Circuit Book / Premium Stamp Offering. An all-better selection of 60 mint (hinged) and used stamps, with 33 stamps from Germany and 27 stamps from the Colonies. Arranged within 3 retired APS circuit books, with both regular and "back of the book" issues. Lots of better stamps noted throughout. Total 2025 Scott US$1060.75 = $1432.00 CDN. Estimate =	$140.00	$60.00 6300
245	Germany and Germany Berlin - Classy 32-page Lighthouse stockbook with maroon "crackled leatherette" cover, holding a mix of mostly mid-1950s-1970’s mint material, including multiples, corner blocks, coils, complete and exploded booklets. About 90% of the material is Germany, the last 10% Berlin. Superficially looks like a bit of duplication, but there might be different papers, printings, etc. There is a bit of used, such as booklet par #737Ab (catalogues $52.50). About 1200 stamps in total. Break out your Michel to work your way through this one. Estimate =	$180.00	$28.00 2299
246	Germany Bavaria #5/273, J13a, O3/O68. Four pages of 1850-1920 issues in mint (hinged) and used condition (many both). A fairly comprehensive group, in excellent condition, of this major German state. Note #14 which is four margined, lightly cancelled and fully sound. Owner's 2023 Scott US$668.75 =	$902.80	$95.00 5107
247	Germany Berlin Covers - The second part of a cover accumulation housed in a three-ring binder, covering 1970-1976. A mix of sets and singles including some semi-postals with lots of rate potential. A total of 180 covers, mostly sent to Canada. Includes first day (sometimes with different cachets) or commemorative covers, with lots of "plus" rated services such as airmail and registered rates. Mostly hand cancelled, with a bit of duplication. Estimate =	$150.00	$20.00 2050
248	Germany Berlin #9N1/9N263, 9NB9/9NB36. A mixed assortment of mostly used pre-1966 Berlin issues on a mix assortment of Ka-Be and Lighthouse album pages. A bit hit or miss throughout, but with better singles such as #9N27 and #9N62. The stamps themselves are in decent condition, but because of the overlapping of pages a bit of duplication is to be expected. A few "Berlin 2" German postal tax stamps are not included in the total catalogue value. 2024 Scott US$383.65 =	$517.93	$26.00 6292
249	Germany Berlin #9N84/9N414, 9NB8/9NB136. The wall eventually crumbled and so did this stockbook, but it’s 32-pages are still doing a good job in protecting and keeping organized a 25 year run of Berlin issues covering 1953 to 1977. It starts with a mint (sometimes two copies) and used copy of most issues, including semi-postals, with coil strips, some souvenir sheets. This is a very comprehensive run, including sets and singles with catalogue values up to $30.00. About 1300 stamps in total, which are in very nice condition. Perfect to build a collection and sell the duplicates to recoup some money. The catalogue value adds up quickly here. Estimate =	$180.00	$75.00 3969
250	Germany Berlin Covers - First of a two part cover accumulation housed in a three-ring binder, covering 1960-1970. A mix of sets and singles including some back of the book with lots of rate potential. A total of 143 covers, mostly sent to Canada. Includes first day or commemorative covers, with lots of "plus" rated services such as airmail, special delivery and registered rates. Mostly hand cancelled, with a bit of duplication. Estimate =	$150.00	$26.00 3208
251	Germany Covers - Accumulation of over 130 commercial and philatelically inspired covers, mostly sent to Canada between 1977-1980. Besides the attractive use of stamps, including sets and souvenir sheets neatly hand cancelled, a number were sent by "value added" services, such as airmail, registration and special delivery, which increases the complexity of the rates covered. There are also a couple larger pieces not counted. A few have original letters inside. As over 40 years have passed since these were sent, there is more appreciation among collectors looking to exhibit rates from the period. Estimate =	$150.00	$22.00 3208
252	Germany Covers - Binder of interesting Germany material, including 16 different inflation period (1920-1922) usages on piece, along with 48 Germany covers (including post cards and postal stationery), ranging from the 1880s to the 1940s, noting a variety of postmarks including c.d.s., bridge types, and more. Nice lot for the Germany enthusiast. Estimate =	$130.00	$44.00 2753
253	Germany Covers - Eclectic group of roughly 200 Germany covers, ranging from 1900 to the 1940s, with material possible on either side of the given range. A cursory check revealed military mail, post cards, postal stationery, corner card advertising, along with a wide variety of postmark types. Some of the covers have been sleeved with retail pricing ranging from $10 to $20 each in a few cases. A nice lot for the postal history collector. Estimate =	$200.00	$55.00 6434
254	Germany Covers - Group of 24 stampless Germany covers, generally ranging from the 1830s to the 1850s, noting a variety of postmarks including double-ring, boxed, horse-shoe, rpo, and other types. Most, if not all of the covers are to Switzerland, from a variety of Germany towns with a variety of rates and routings. Many of the covers have been priced in pencil ranging from $10 to $75 and up. A nice clean group that will benefit from further study. Estimate =	$120.00	$55.00 5241
255	Germany Covers - Part 1 of a post-war holding of personal and philatelic covers filling a large three-ring binder.

Estimate =	$150.00	$10.00 6600
258	Germany Covers - Selection of "Buildings" "Brandenburg Gate" and "Safety" definitive issues on covers with a wide assortment of rates and usages, filling a large three ring binder. A mix of personal and commercial mail sent to Canada between 1967-1972. Lots of "plus" rated services such as airmail and registered rates, with a few large parcel cards.

259	Germany, States, Berlin, Occupation issues, Colonies #4/1054, B3/B471. Pre-1975 collection of almost everything (West) German in older Lighthouse springback binder, in decent condition. Starts with a mixed page of 17 German States issues (with some Bavaria later on in the album), and transitions quickly to a German Reich "sampler" group before settling down to a solid post-WWI grouping of mint and used, with lots of "hyper-inflation" and Third Reich material, with a good offering of post-war issues, including most of the good semi-postals (with set catalogue values up to $100.00), and mostly mint from the 1960’s onwards. The Berlin includes some overprints, some nice mint and used "Bells". Other occupied areas include Baden, Reinland-Pfalz, Wurttemberg, with a smattering of Colonial and Occupied issues and various issues from Saar (under various administrations). Pages run to 1965 and then quadrilled pages were used. About 2000 stamps (no souvenir sheets of note), with catalogue values that will add up quickly. Very lightly hinged. Estimate =	$300.00	$110.00 4389
260	Great Britain #5. Fresh used example of the 1sh Queen Victoria issue of 1847 with as big margins on three sides as you are likely to find, which also shows the uneven placement of the stamps which made clean separation so difficult. Just a little close at the top and the four corners completely intact. Has "66" numeral cancel (Berwick). A beauty! 2024 Scott US$1000.00 =	$1,350.00	$200.00 4475
261	Great Britain #33. No, you aren’t seeing double. This is two different sets of pages each with its own plate studies that have achieved reasonable coverage (each missing just a few but combined will result in a very complete group of plates). Perfect for a plate study or for sheet reconstruction. As a bonus each set of pages has a few "Tuppence blue" stamps with plate numbers. About 260 stamps in total. Substantial catalogue value. Estimate =	$220.00	$160.00 5719
262	Great Britain #33. Used selection of 145x Plates, on two pages, in F/VF condition. Missing only plates # 77, 133, 211, 219, 222, 223, and 225. A really good start to a complete set of plated stamps, which can be easy to complete, with the exception the much harder to find plates #77 and 225. Owner's 2023 Scott US$1,268.75 =	$1,712.80	$120.00 5435
263	Great Britain #110. Used example of the 1884 £1 Queen Victoria in brown-violet with an Imperial Crown watermark. Has a private perfin and a "Throgmorton Avenue EC" (??) oval registration "2 Jan 1885" dated cancel. There is a small thin and minor staining on the back. A very attractive key Victorian issue. 2024 Scott US$3500.00 =	$4,725.00	$350.00 5742
264	Great Britain - A pair of red, older, small format, stockbooks with a chaotic mixture of mostly used Victorian-era material, with a bit up to King George VI. Both look like they were used for organizing a collection or storing duplicates, during the 1970s, when this material catalogued significantly less. During that time, material was added, removed, and moved around. Sometimes with notations, often not. Overall, we see a few hundred stamps with substantial catalogue value that seem to be in reasonable condition, with lots of potential for studies of different printings and cancels. An "old school" lot. Estimate =	$240.00	$425.00 5719
265	Great Britain - An astronomical value holding of 360 stamps within 27 retired APS (American Philatelic Society) circuit books. Stamps are predominantly used, with some of the books having been well picked, others barely touched, with "remaining value" being mostly in the $200.00 to $450.00 range per book (US Dollars). A wealth of Queen Victoria / Edward / George V used issued with MANY "schilling values", "seahorses" and high-values throughout. The remaining value (as retail) in these books adds up to an impressive $7500+, which when you consider that the stamps are generally priced at 20% of catalogue value, giving a potential catalogue value of over $37,000 (by 2006 Scott!!). A very nice opportunity for any collector looking to increase their holdings, or show / club / internet dealers looking to make a major addition to their stock. Estimate =	$1,000.00	$3,050.00 4475
266	Great Britain - Complete run of the 1990-2019 "LX" prefix Christmas Greeting booklets (as listed in Gibbons), neatly arranged within a padded Stanley Gibbons album (plus some extras). Besides being a complete run, which is tough to do in itself, these booklets contain a tremendous amount of premium postage as all are either 1st Class (484 stamps) / 2nd Class (262 stamps) or Worldwide Airmail (4 stamps). The total face value alone is £562.82 ($1008.95 CDN). This amount will go up as well, with the upcoming UK postal rate increase. 2024 SG Concise catalogue value £925.00 =	$1,658.25	$450.00 6128
267	Great Britain - Edwardian study source, with the pages from a few different albums, some of which go back decades. Most are sorted by denomination, many are identified by different Stanley Gibbons numbers, others show obvious signs of different shades. Plus, there are some nice cancels, denominations up to 10/-, a couple with perfins and a touch of back of the book overprints. Perfect for the specialist to expand their collection or stock. Estimate =	$180.00	$90.00 3266
268	Great Britain - FDC / Special Event Cover / Presentation Pack Bonanza! A group of 4x FDC albums, packed with an interesting array of mostly QEII FDC material, with several Post Office packs and "better" signed / special postmark or event covers mixed in throughout (including a £1.00 coin / stamp combo cover). Owner's estimated catalogue value is $1800.00, which seems reasonable to us as there are a few hundred items here. Estimate =	$200.00	$55.00 4533
269	Great Britain - Intriguing 4-part balance of consignment offering of mint / used stamps and booklets. Includes (in no particular order)..1) Green binder with stockpages containing misc items ranging from QV to QEII mint and used, with a least £30.00 GBP of mint and a couple Tristan da Cunha 2012 souvenir sheets (mint, never hinged). 2) Gray Minkus album with pages from 1840-2002 (plus regionals), partially filled with mint and used (no QV, but steadily gets stronger from GeoV through GeoVI and QEII). 3) A like-new 64-page Lighthouse stockbook (blue, white pages) half-filled with GeoV to QEII issues, plus some "back of the book". 4) Ziploc bag full of illustrated booklets, A&B types, some identified (these will add up quickly in catalogue value). Owner's estimated catalogue value is $1200.00, which seems on the low-side of reasonable! Estimate =	$250.00	$70.00 3773
270	Great Britain - QEII "Folded Booklets" collection. A total of 110 booklets, neatly arranged within a Stanley Gibbons padded album. These booklets issued from 1976-1995 are from the "FA / FB" prefix listing in the Gibbons concise catalogue. The issue price of each booklet ranges from 10p to 50p each. A nice showing, which were carefully acquired and organized by the previous collector. Issue price alone was near £50.00. 2024 Stanley Gibbons Concise £260.00 =	$466.05	$130.00 6128
271	Great Britain - QEII complete booklet holding. A lovely selection of 65 lightly duplicated QEII Wilding and (mostly) QEII Machin booklets. A very clean offering with a wide array of both values and booklet design covers. Includes one partial QEII Wilding booklet (one stamp removed), not counted in the catalogue value. Owner's total 2024 Gibbons £405.50 ($726.80 CDN). Estimate =	$150.00	$120.00 6128
272	Great Britain - QEII Machin and Greeting Stamp "Bar Code" booklets collection. A total of 127 booklets, 1987-1997 neatly arranged on stockpages within a padded Stanley Gibbons brand album.

A staggering amount of PREMIUM postage in these booklets including 1st Class (480 stamps), 2nd Class (360 stamps), Worldwide Airmail (4 stamps) and Worldwide Postcard (64 stamps). Total face value alone is GBP915.80 ($1534.24 CDN). 2024 Gibbons Concise is £1003.00 =	$1,797.90	$325.00 6128
273	Great Britain - Queen Victoria on an assortment of old album and stock pages that probably originated from five different collections. The biggest section is some old Lighthouse "hingeless" pages, lightly housed with used issues back to the 1850's, identified by Gibbons numbers and better values up to 5/-. The rest are a page or two with assorted material (a little bit more recent), including some very attractive cancels, a couple with "wing margins" and substantial catalogue values. From a local estate and offered as received. Estimate =	$220.00	$475.00 5719
274	Great Britain - Selection of 25 different high values used, Victorian to KGVI, with only stamps that catalogue over US$20.00 each. NOTE in Scott identified (and values at a premium) stamps that are VF sound examples with better than average cancels. These are select examples!!! 2025 Scott US$1315.00 =	$1,775.25	$80.00 6588
275	Great Britain - Two-volume QEII used collection on Stanley Gibbons / home-made pages (within page protectors) in two 3-ring binders, covering the 1952-2012 period. A largely complete showing for the pre-2000 period, with a bit of work to do on the post 2000 material needed. Very clean, with the occasional mint stamp mixed in as well. An excellent group to build on, or amalgamate with your current used collection. Owner's 2024 Gibbons £1290.00 ($2315.00 CDN). Estimate =	$200.00	$70.00 6388
276	Great Britain - Channel Islands - Valuable and enticing mostly mint collection / holding in 4 different albums. The albums consist of (in no particular order). 1) Guernsey, Jersey and Lundy in a Kenmore Stamps "History of" prepared collection, with Jersey, Guernsey represented by 1972-1974 issues and Lundy 1956/1961 issues, plus some Regional issues / Air Letters, 114 stamps, catalogue US$31.60. 2) Jersey / Guernsey 1989-1993 on printed pages within an undersized album including Booklets, Panes and Souvenir sheets, Jersey 330 stamps (catalogue US$157.85) and Guernsey 286 stamps (catalogue US$191.00). 3) Guernsey / Jersey 1941-1978 on "White Ace" pages within a binder, with Guernsey represented by 206 stamps (catalogue US$162.75) and Jersey with 234 stamps (catalogue US$205.50). 4) Lastly, a deluxe Lighthouse hingeless album with Jersey / Guernsey 1979-1988, Jersey having 275 stamps (catalogue US$161.30) and Guernsey having 276 stamps (catalogue US$116.20).

277	Great Britain and Isles - Balance of an estate, nearly filling a bankers box. A bit of everything, from album and stock pages, stockbooks, presentation packs, etc. Noted mint back to KEVII and used to Queen Victoria, with cancel interest, overprints on German stamps for "Jersey 1944", some circa 2009 first day covers from Isle of Man. We noted pockets of mint stamps with face values to £5, some wholesale quantities of used material. The presentation packs seem to be mostly from the early 1970’s. Lots of exploring is to be had here. Estimate =	$150.00	$55.00 1013
278	Great Britain Offices Abroad - A pair of older 16-page stockbooks which are home to a mostly mint collection (with some duplicates). The "Morocco Agencies" overprints come in all three currencies, including a nice group of cylinder blocks of six of various KGV/KEVIII issues, with overprints for MEF, Turkey/Levant, Tripolitania, Tangier, EAF. A quick check showed stamps with up to $50.00 catalogue value and the overall condition is excellent. A few hundred stamps here, ready for you to figure out. Estimate =	$200.00	$150.00 347
279	Greece #172/638 plus Back of the Book. Retired Circuit Book / Premium Stamp Offering. A select offering of 58 mint (hinged) and used stamps, from the 1970-1959 period, arranged within 2 retired APS circuit books. Many better noted, with individual catalogue values to US$150.00. Expect a bit of duplication and the odd small fault, but overall a very clean offering. Take a good look at the scans to appreciate the scope of the group. 2025 Scott US$1353.25 = $1826.90 CDN. Estimate =	$180.00	$75.00 5719
280	Grenada #124/1494. Collection of 464 mint and hinged, seemingly all-different stamps from the 1935-1987 period, neatly arranged within a small stockbook. Noted many complete sets and topical stamp interest. 2025 Scott US$325.50 =	$439.45	$55.00 4291
281	Hong Kong - Calling all students of British-rule Hong Kong, who like to get their hands on a meaty project. The balance of an estate, with three or four distinct collections that make up this group. There is a lovely group of Queen Victoria material, including overprints, and lots of readable cancels. From KEVII to 1998 is a mix of mint and used definitives and commemoratives with denominations to $50.00 and individual catalogue values to $100.00. There are a few company "chops" or perfins. There is a light to moderate amount of duplication, but with the overall condition being quite decent you should have little trouble selling what you don’t need from this lot. Estimate =	$300.00	$200.00 347
282	Iceland #10/388. Retired Circuit Books / Premium Selection. A well above-average offering of 287 stamps from the 1876-1967 period, arranged sporadically within 9 retired APS circuit books. A very diverse mix of both mint (mostly hinged) and used material, with both regular and "back of the book" issues, with individual catalogue values to US$95.00 (there is an example of #13 used, catalogue US$500.00, but with thin, so not counted in the totals). Expect the odd small fault and a bit of duplication, but generally the condition is high-quality. The catalogue value adds up quickly here! 2025 Scott US$7565.15 = $10212.95 CDN. Estimate =	$750.00	$350.00 2299
283	India Feudatory States - Travancore / Travancore-Cochin / Charkhari mint sheets. Group of four compete sheets, plus a broken / partial 5th sheet of India Feudatory State Official stamps. Some perf separation (as to be expected on sheets this large), with no-gum (as issued). Comes with four of the original five retail descriptions (from renowned expert Geoffrey Flack). Retail price alone on these (from 20+ years ago) was $1155.00, although that seems on the high side to us. Estimate =	$150.00	$85.00 1805
284	Indian Sub-continent - Equally compelling and disorganized bundle of (in no particular order): India (a touch of "States"), Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal and Burma. The balance of an estate that we have been selling for months. Every remaining piece went into this lot. There are thousands of stamps, and individual values to $20 (and maybe more). Mint, used from Victoria up to about 2000. Patience and a bit of room to spread out will make this process easier. Enjoy the hunt! Estimate =	$180.00	$120.00 6596
285	Ionian Islands #1-3. A mint trio of the complete issuance of this British Protectorate in the Mediterranean, moved over to Greek control just a few years later. The 1/2p orange has no gum, the 1d blue has a trace of original gum and the 2d lake was poorly cut (with a very strong watermark showing through). Bonus is a used set. The lower three stamps are likely fake stamps or fake cancels but will give your album page a bit more "oomph". Estimate =	$140.00	$38.00 6396
286	Ireland #2/302. Retired Circuit Books / Premium Selection. An "all better" selection of 180 mint (mostly hinged) and used stamps, arranged within 5 retired APS circuit books.

Perfect for any collector or dealer looking to bolster their holdings. 2025 Scott US$6858.25 = $9258.65 CDN. Well worth the conservative estimate. Estimate =	$425.00	$450.00 5984

An "all better" selection of 58 mint (hinged) and used stamps, from the 1860-1956 period, arranged within 4 retired APS circuit books.

Expect a bit of duplication and the odd small fault, but overall a very premium offering. 2025 Scott US$1970.50 = $2660.20 CDN. Estimate =	$200.00	$230.00 1805
292	Japan #55/1819 plus Airmails. Two-volume home-made collection of mint and used Japan within two deluxe padded Lighthouse 32-page stockbooks with slipcases (these retail for $88.00 each!). A very attractive grouping, which includes issues from 1876-1989, with 1582 stamps. Expect the earlier mint to be hinged, transitioning to Never Hinged in the later issues. Wonderfully displayed and assembled with care and attention. 2025 Scott US$3847.35 = $5193.80 CDN. Estimate =	$650.00	$500.00 93
293	Japan - An "organized mess" of mint and used Japanese issues, from classics to mid-1980's, arranged on at least 3 sets of albums pages or folders. While this seems a bit messy at first glance, the pages are in order and could easily be amalgamated or compared to your current holdings. While the earlier mint is mostly hinged, the more modern selection includes never hinged in mounts. A total of 1251 stamps, including souvenir sheets. Total 2025 Scott US$1156.50 = $1561.30 CDN. Estimate =	$160.00	$90.00 6443
294	Japan - Kiloware accumulation of 4.5 lbs. (not counting the box) of recent 2021-2023 most on double or postcard paper. Big duplication of definitives, but still has a good selection of pictorial & commemorative issues. Great if you like Japan town CDS hand cancels, as there are plenty of them here. Modern stamps from any country are increasingly difficult to get! Estimate =	$120.00	$140.00 5428
295	Korea - Democratic People's Republic - A visually enthralling ride of North Korea issues from the 1960's to 1980's with 629 stamps and 17 souvenir sheets, arranged within two 16-page stockbooks. While most (if not all) of this is "cancelled to order", this is often the only way to obtain many of these issues. The imagery and propaganda used on many of these issues is unlike any other. Estimate =	$150.00	$65.00 3634
296	Liechtenstein #1/571. Mint and Used retired circuit book group. A F/VF selection of 134 stamps from the 1912-1975 period, arranged on pages within 3 retired APS circuit books. Many better throughout, including #1-3 (multiple copies, mint and used), and a good showing of "back of the book" issues.

A tremendous amount of material here, with several thousand stamps in total. While heavily duplicated, large used batches of this country are rarely offered, with possibly for postmark interest throughout. Very clean material. Estimate =	$150.00	$95.00 5817
299	Malayan Peninsula - A Mess-o-Malaya resulting from a local estate. Includes Malaya, Malaysia, Straits Settlements, Singapore, North Borneo, Labuan, Sarawak (and probably more).

300	Malta - Small handful from a local estate, with a wide range of mint and used going from the Victorian-era up to the early 1990’s. Several mounted collections are mixed with some dealer pages and glassines. Most have not been looked at for some time. Expect the mint to be hinged, and for some cancel potential amongst the used, with light duplication. A decent looking bundle of fun. Estimate =	$140.00	$95.00 6555
301	Mesopotamia #N12b. Mint Hinged example of the 1917 "2 Ana" and "Baghdad" overprinted on Turkish 1pi stamp, issued during the WWI transition from Turkish to British control, for this short-lived entity. This is the violet and black issue, with perforation 12-1/2. Nicely centered and a bit heavily hinged on back, with a bit of minor perforation damage in the lower right corner. A key Middle Eastern stamp. 2024 Scott US$650.00 =	$877.50	$110.00 4189
302	Monaco #1/148 plus Back of the Book. Retired Circuit Book Holding. Premium selection of 96 stamps, arranged (spread out) over 6 retired APS stockbooks. A mix of both mint and used (regular and "back of the book" issues), with the mint being generally hinged (unless noted on page), from the 1885-1938 period, with individual catalogue values to US$350.00 (Scott). Expect the odd small fault and some duplication, but overall an above average clean holding. A great opportunity for the collector to enhance their holdings, or for a show / internet dealer to greatly add to inventory. 2025 Scott US$9427.75 CDN. Estimate =	$700.00	$425.00 1805
303	Monaco #1-7. F/VF mint Hinged / Hinge Remnant, partial set (1c to 40c values) of the1885 Prince Charles III issues. Fresh group, much harder to find mint than used. 2025 Scott US$1372.50 =	$1,852.90	$210.00 6087
304	Monaco #B36-B50. VF mint Never Hinged complete set of the 1940 semi-postal surcharge series (surcharged on the 1939 regular issue). An attractive complete set, with surtax used to purchased ambulances for the French Government. 2025 Scott US$240.00 =	$324.00	$85.00 5531
305	Natal #6, 7. Used examples of the "rose" and "buff" paper shades of the 1858 embossed 1p "Crown" design imperforates. Each with a bit of a smudgy cancel, and #7 with some minor thins and wrinkling. Does not appear to be the reprints or modified revenue stamps but has to be sold "as-is" as forgeries do exist. Total 2024 Scott US$3650.00 =	$4,927.50	$42.00 4858
306	Netherlands Indies #1/150. Lovely and near-complete mounted used collection up to the 1922 overprints. Includes both the imperforate and perforated King William III 10c lake, and a complete used 1870 set.

Post offices from Alkmaar to Hattem are covered in this volume. For each post office/cancel, there is the post office number, the town name, a map of the Netherlands with a marking of the approximate location of the place, a brief history of the town and the populations of the town during this time period as well as "present" (date unknown). Sometimes there are cancelled stamps, a number of attractive covers (almost all domestic). There is a page for the two post offices for which there are no markings (#14, #21). A total of 64 covers and 174 stamps. Makes for a terrific study as these cancels became obsolete in 1893. Estimate =	$500.00	$190.00 5885
310	Netherlands - Numeral town cancel collection part II: This remarkable mounted collection covers numbers #51 to #100, all part of the initial assignment to Post Offices in 1869, which was done alphabetically.

Sometimes there are cancelled stamps, a number of attractive covers (almost all domestic). There is a page for the post offices for which there are no markings (#119, 131, 134, 139-150).

312	Netherlands - Numeral town cancel collection part IV: The last section of this remarkable mounted collection covering numbers #151 to #259.

Higher numbers can be harder to obtain as the post office was open soon before this numbering system became obsolete in 1893. Total of 7 covers and 82 stamps. Bonus reference material: three c.1990 booklets by Bijleveld with post office rarity factors from Noord, Groningen and Overijssel provinces and a photocopy of "The Postmarks of the Netherlands" 1676-1915 by Vellinga. Estimate =	$160.00	$110.00 6422
313	Netherlands - Terrific holding of 1860's-1920's town cancels, alphabetically ordered in a 16-page Uni-Safe stockbook and with a few black stockpages added with either better stamps (#3, #6) or cancels that hadn’t made it into the book. Most are circular date stamps, but there is the occasional "number" or machine cancel. Perfectly set up for expansion or to pick only what you need. About 750 stamps in total. Estimate =	$180.00	$260.00 6522
314	Netherlands - Two dozen 19th century stamped covers with various "William III" issues, starting in the 1860s. Noted some nice frankings, a couple international destinations, lots of interesting cancels, with some smaller towns noted. About half the covers have "number grid" cancels, and some transit/receiving cancels are noted. A very nice study group. All are entires, except for the "Geldorp" item (mounted inverted) which is a front only. Bonus items are four "small sized" covers from c.1921. Estimate =	$160.00	$100.00 2753
315	Netherlands Indies and New Guinea #151/290, GY1-GY7 and 1/37. Six mint sets (or part sets) from these popular Dutch colonies. From the Indies, there are five of the seven denominations of the 1923 Queen Wilhelmena, the four values overprinted "1947", plus the 1948 definitives to 25g and the uncommon 1921 "Marine Insurance Stamps". The first two sets from Netherlands New Guinea are here, with a couple of bonus singles included. All have a nice fresh appearance and are all hinged. Total 2024 Scott US$541.15	$730.55	$210.00 3333
316	New Zealand #54/351 plus Back of the Book. Retired Circuit Book Holding. A selection of 141 mint and used stamps from the 1874-1966 period, arranged on the pages of 2 retired APS circuit books. Many better stamps here, with both regular and "back of the book" issues, that include individual catalogue values up to US$225.00 (Scott). Expect the odd small fault and some duplication, but as the pictures will show this is overall a well above-average offering of premium material. Perfect for the collector or dealer looking to add an "all better" offering. 2025 Scott US$3534.35 = $4771.35 CDN. Estimate =	$400.00	$475.00 6554
317	North Vietnam #1L2/1L61. Interesting and seldom seen run of 48 mostly different stamps from the 1945-1948 Viet Mingh issue overprints on French Indochina stamps. A nice range of material here, all mint (no gum as issued). 2023 Scott US$245.00 =	$330.75	$75.00 4487
318	Northern Nigeria #22, 19a-26a. Attractive mint Hinged offering of the complete 1906-1907 Chalky Paper Edward VII set, plus the ordinary paper example of the 2 ½d value (#22). 2024 Scott US$191.00 =	$257.85	$70.00 163
319	Poland #61/3195. A pair of "Kodak" boxes filled with #8 envelopes with an accumulation of regular-issue Polish stamps from the early issues up to 1994. A quick glance indicates that the material is primarily used, with some light duplication, cancel potential along with a few thousand stamps. After you are done with the stamps, you can sell the envelopes to a Canadian collector, as there are many window envelopes from small Canadian companies (most 1960s-70s) along with a number of unused CN Telegram envelopes. Offered as received. Estimate =	$140.00	$100.00 5841
320	Portugal #6/682 plus Back of the Book. Retired Circuit Book Holding. Group of 131 mint and used stamps from the 1855-1947 period, including both regular and "back of the book" issues, arranged sporadically on pages within 4 retired APS circuit books. Expect the odd small fault and some duplication, but overall a very clean and diverse holding. As a small bonus, there is also some Azores material here (7 stamps, catalogue US$58.75), not included in the previously mentioned count, or following total catalogue value. 2025 Scott US$4137.20 = $5585.20 CDN. Estimate =	$350.00	$210.00 5742
321	Romania #19/445. Retired Circuit Book / Premium Stamp Holding. Selection of 91 mint (mostly hinged) and used stamps and 3 obvious fakes, sporadically arranged in 5 retired APS circuit books. A premium offering, with individual catalogue values up to US$70.00 each. Expect a bit of duplication and the odd fault, but overall a tidy offering of better material. 2025 Scott US$1571.60 = $2121.66 CDN. Estimate =	$140.00	$95.00 1805
322	Saar - Retired Circuit Book / Premium Stamp Holding. An all-better selection of 68 mint (mostly hinged) and used stamps, arranged within 4 retired APS circuit books. Both regular and "back of the book", with many better throughout. Expect a bit of duplication and the odd small fault, but overall a very clean offering. 2025 Scott US$988.15 = $1333.60 CDN. Estimate =	$180.00	$70.00 2299
323	Saudi Arabia #341. F/VF mint Never Hinged example of the redrawn "Oil and Gas" plant issue, 200p high value from 1970 in dark grey and olive green. Mid-century Saudi material can be surprisingly difficult to find. This is in particularly nice condition. 2024 Scott US$525.00 =	$708.75	$110.00 77
324	Seychelles #31b. Mint Hinged printing error of the 1901 3c revaluation "doubling" on the 1890 Queen Victoria 36c "Keystone" issue. Either the first pass through the press produced quite a light, incomplete overprint and was run through a second time OR when the press was releasing on the first pass air pressure differences caused the sheet to flutter back up to the press (which had less ink, and much less pressure), resulting in a kiss print. Either way an attractive variety. Unobtrusive, hinge remnant. 2024 Scott US$950.00 =	$1,282.50	$75.00 5389
325	South Africa and Area - Retired Circuit Book Holding. A premium holding of 294 stamps, sporadically arranged over 7 retired APS circuit books. A diverse offering of material, including both regular issues, plus "back of the book" and also including some South West Africa and Rhodesia. While there will be some minor duplication and the odd small fault, the value adds up quickly here. 2025 Scott US$3781.00 = $5104.35 CDN. Estimate =	$400.00	$170.00 1805
326	Spain - Retired Circuit Book Holding. Premium "all better" offering of 88 mint and used stamps from the 1870-1963 period, arranged within 4 retired APS circuit books. A decent mix of both regular and "back of the book" issues, with individual catalogue values up to US$210.00 (Scott). Expect a bit of duplication and the odd small fault, but overall a very clean offering. Part of much larger group of circuit books we are offering either as individual countries, or balance lots in this sale. 2025 Scott US$2747.00 = $3708.45 CDN. Estimate =	$250.00	$250.00 6200
327	Straits Settlements #7. Mint Hinged example of the key-value 1867 issued 12c red overprint on India 4a green Queen Victoria, from the first set of this Malayan colony. Comes with a bit of heavy hinging and minor aging (not surprising, since the stamp is from a tropical climate and is over 150 years old). Two separate owner’s marks are on the back. A lovely stamp. 2024 Scott US$1600.00 =	$2,160.00	$230.00 6591
328	Sweden - Retired Circuit Book Holding. A high-quality offering of 177 mint and used stamps from the 1858-1946 period, arranged within 5 retired APS circuit books. A nice mix of both regular and "back of the book" issues, with individual catalogue values up to US$100.00 each (Scott). Expect a bit of duplication and the occasional small fault, but a great opportunity for a collector to keep what they need and sell / trade the remainder, or show / internet dealer looking to bolster their holdings. 2025 Scott US$3508.25 = $4736.15 CDN. Estimate =	$300.00	$130.00 5504
329	Switzerland #41/381 plus Back of the Book. Retired Circuit Book Holding. Selection of 168 mint and used stamps from the 1862-1960 period, arranged in 2 retired APS circuit books. Plenty of "meat on the bone" in this selection, which has a clean emphasis on "back of the book" issues, especially semi-postals. Expect a bit of duplication, the mint to be hinged and the odd small fault, but overall a clean offering. 2025 Scott US$3419.05 = $4615.70 CDN. Estimate =	$300.00	$350.00 1805
330	Switzerland Literature - VF clean example of "Switzerland 1854-1863, The Imperforate Sitting Helvetia, Strubel" by Herbert Brach (2000 published, 277 pages with maps / illustrations in colour). A very useful and specialized book (in English), featuring colour plates of stamps and covers from this complicated stamp issue. We couldn't find another example for sale online, and likely had a very high original purchase price. Estimate =	$120.00	$160.00 6395
331	Thailand - The balance of a dealer’s holding that we have been auctioning over the past year. This group includes a large handful "102" cards, a bundle of album pages from several collections with a range of stamps on them (from "picked" to "untouched") and a bit of material sorted on stock cards. The final envelope has some "older new issues" in their original glassines. This material is mostly used, especially amongst the pre-1975 material. Expect some duplication. Estimate =	$100.00	$65.00 5984
332	Turkey #14/1281. First century of Turkish issues neatly mounted in a springback binder on blank pages. Starts with a good range of early overprints, perforations with a number having nice cancels. Better includes the 1913 star overprinted set, the 1915 25pi overprints, with a good range of the provisional overprints as well as the 1919 Armistice overprints. The better issues continue into the 1920’s with the 2nd Izmir Exhibition and the new currency issues to 50k. The 1930 Railway opening set is mint as is the 1931-1944 definitives. Not much "back of the book" here amongst the several hundred stamps. The early issues are predominantly used, the later mint. Significant catalogue value here. Estimate =	$300.00	$260.00 4741
333	Turkey - Five volume accumulation, the balance of an estate. This collector enjoyed the purchasing of lots in quantities that exceeded his ability to process them. This is a group of five purchases from different sources with varying degrees of collectability. Mounted collections and stockbooks with a mix from the earliest issues up to about 1990 (but overall strength appears to be pre-1940). This collector had an eye for good deals and better material, so there is a good chance that there are better items hiding here. One of the hidden gems is the sparsely populated Minkus album with pages to 1963 that is in excellent condition, including the dust cover (which we seldom see in this condition). Estimate =	$180.00	$200.00 1805
334	USA #117. F/VF mint Lightly Hinged example of the 1869 issued SS Adriatic 12c green commemorative, with a nice clean grill and the usual yellowish crackled gum (and about as lightly hinged as you are likely to find). This was the largest ship in the world at its launching and the pride of trans-Atlantic travel at the time. Better than average perforations, and just a touch off centre. This is a 19th century American beauty. 2024 Scott US$1850.00 =	$2,497.50	$210.00 77
335	USA #239. Fine mint Hinged example of the 30c orange brown "Columbus at La Rabida" from the 1893 Columbian series. Deep rich colour, a very pretty stamp. 2024 Scott US$225.00 =	$303.75	$50.00 77
336	USA - Philatelic Follies and First Day Covers in a U-Haul box. Two binders of 22k foil "Proof replicas" of the stamp as part of the cachet on First Day (or Commemorative) covers. About 40 different covers, a bit later than normally seen (late 1980s-mid-1990s) as most collectors had given up on the investment quality of these products (original cost over US$400.00). Next up is a commemorative folder for the Statue of Liberty, followed by a 1977-78 "Fleetwood" commemorative cover collection honouring America’s First Ladies (usually with a stamp depicting their husbands!), and a 1983 complete set of 93 covers honouring the "Proudest Americans" (cost US$300.). Returning to more conventional philately are three cover albums with about 100 mostly cacheted FDCs and commemorative covers from 1948-1982 (most Artcraft but includes others). Estimate =	$150.00	$11.00 6600
337	USA - Selection of 17 different better used, with catalogue values from US$17.50 to US$190.00 each. The best include #73, 77, 113, 289, 524, C2, E3, etc. Sound examples, though some normal centring and a few short perfs. Each identified on the scan. 2025 Scott US$795.00 =	$1,073.25	$130.00 6588
338	USA - Two-volume USA collection of mint / used from the 1860's to 1989. A solid "foot in the door" collection, arranged within a Harris brand album (with added mounts) to 1983, then in a Lighthouse hingeless album to 1989. Several better items of note, including many of the 1920's era commemorative issues (mostly mint hinged), 1938 "Prexie" set (mint hinged, with $5.00 value used), "back of the book" (including airmails) and "Farley" imperforate sheets. Expect much of the earlier material to be hinged, transitioning to never hinged in the more modern. The post-1950 face value alone adds up to US$234.15. A perfect candidate to build upon, or amalgamate with your current collection. Estimate =	$300.00	$150.00 3820
339	USA and Possessions - If you have been following the sale of American material in the past few months, you will recognize the source of this material, as this is the final box from this terrific estate. In three parts which fill a bankers box. The lower layer is large pieces with high denomination stamps used to a stamp dealer in the late 1990’s, with lots of souvenir sheets, sheetlets and higher value items. The second part is a mixed holding of US possessions, include Puerto Rico, Cuba, Philippines, Canal Zone etc. And the last part is a touch of American material, the only special piece is a trio of Air Mails in plate blocks of six that were bought at the height of the investment era. At the estimated value, you will be paying far less than a previous owner did 40 years ago. Sorting, soaking and searching will result from purchasing this lot. Estimate =	$180.00	$450.00 163
340	USA Covers - Bankers box of roughly 1,500 United States first day covers, ranging from the 1940s onwards, noting many with private cachets, along with a few hand drawn, and signed cachets by the designer. Frankings include singles, blocks, plate blocks, booklet panes, etc. Duplication up to 5 for some issues. Estimate =	$150.00	$140.00 5428
341	USA Covers - Group of roughly 350 United States WWII covers, neatly organized in a plastic tub by APO number. Almost each cover is sleeved and have retail pricing and APO identification numbers (ranging from APO 3/955, noting various censor tapes, handstamps, postmarks, etc. Retail prices in excess of $2,400. It should be noted, these retail prices are actually the price a collector paid in acquiring the material, as opposed to remainder dealer stock. A nice group for any military collector. Estimate =	$350.00	$55.00 3634
342	USA Covers - Navy Covers Part A: Four volume naval post office cancels on cover, mounted on pages and in page protectors. Created by a collector in Edmonton in 1968, who wrote every US naval ship that he thought might have a post office and created self-addressed envelopes. The return rate was quite high, and these covers have a combination of ship name, number and sometimes a rubber stamp or embossed cachet. Total of about 754 covers, most with two examples per ship (so over 350 different ships are here). A labour of love, with significant effort to assemble this. Estimate =	$240.00	$10.00 2050
343	USA Covers - Navy Covers Part B: Three volume naval post office cancels, mounted on pages and in page protectors, a compendium to the previous lot. Created by a collector in Edmonton in 1968, who wrote every US naval ship that he thought might have a post office and created self-addressed envelopes. The return rate was quite high, and two volumes contain about 410 covers which have a combination of ship name, number and sometimes a rubber stamp or embossed cachet. The third volume has about 155 covers for the Naval support of various Apollo space flight missions with often capsule recovery operations. There is a bit of bonus material, with some of the correspondence from this undertaking, plus about another 50 loose covers (probably duplicated material, and there are a few from non-US countries) and even a touch of ephemera sent by a couple of ships. Total of just over 600 covers with a range of 1-5 covers per ship, likely over 250 different ships. A labour of love, with significant effort to assemble this. Estimate =	$240.00	$22.00 6600
344	Vietnam - An accumulation running the length of its tumultuous 1950's to 1970's period, with various issues from the Republic and Democratic Republic with a few post-war issues and a bit of "back of the book". Bought in the early 1980s when philatelic references of this period were lagging, leading to a bit of chaos. There are three main collections, plus a series of dealer cards and approval pages that go into this lot. Includes some primitive war-time printings, lots of overprints, with individual stamps having up to $20.00 catalogue value. Some minor duplication, and the potential for hidden diamonds here. Estimate =	$150.00	$65.00 3634
345	Worldwide - "Calling All Classic Collectors!" Duo of old-time albums that will be music to the ears of any collector of early worldwide material. A mix of both mint and used material, neatly arranged (and easily removeable) from almost entirely the pre-1900 period. The first album is an "Oppen's Postage Stamp Album" circa 1885, with 901 stamps spanning the globe, in which we we noted particular strength in Canada, British Commonwealth and South America (note, there is a wonderful looking page of Brazil "Bull's Eye" stamps, but likely early forgeries). The second album is a Scott "International Postage Stamp Album, Nineteenth Century" with 1391 stamps, again with strength in British Commonwealth and South America. While the odd small fault is to be expected, the vast majority of the stamps held within these albums look to be sound, choice examples. Some countries are vacant, perhaps removed decades ago to start the original collector's individual country collections. Offered as received, an excellent opportunity for the "classics" collector. Estimate =	$650.00	$950.00 1805
346	Worldwide - A "Home Depot" box with very diverse contents for those who like to make sense out of lots that make no sense. Includes several British "Royal" collections, back to QEII Jubilee, marriage of Charles and Diana, birthdays of the Queen Mum. This transitions to a topical collection of aircraft on about 25 Vario-brand stockpages, a collection of "Silhouettes and Profiles" and another of "Cave Art". A binder of Belgium on stockpages goes back to the first issues, and there is even a matted print of "Postage Stamps of Foreign Countries". Estimate =	$130.00	$65.00 5735
347	Worldwide - Asia Accumulation. Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam stock of hundreds of mostly mint, with large quantities of complete sets and some blocks, including a bit of back of the book. The last page is housed with a bunch of "North" Vietnamese issues including those that weren’t listed in Scott at the time. This stock is all pre-1970 and housed in a manila paged "Elbe" stockbook and is intact as was purchased over 40 years ago. Has been supplemented with a small handful of more contemporary issues from these same countries. Underappreciated in their day, these stamps have been tremendously appreciated (by both collectors and catalogue editors) in more recent years. Estimate =	$150.00	$100.00 4064
348	Worldwide - Balance of a dealer’s estate, with material written up over 30 years ago. There is a good handful of 1950's-1960's complete Canadian booklets, Canada # E3, Newfoundland airmail trio, with lots of British Commonwealth sets and singles (best is Middle East overprints and some Caribbean), and finishing with a bit of United States (note a WWI Thrift Card with a single 25c stamp). A bit of duplication, some mixed condition. Estimate =	$140.00	$220.00 5389
349	Worldwide - Baltic Nations. Estonia, Latvia and (to a lesser extent) Lithuania accumulation, from an extensive estate. Have no fear, there are still lots of goodies here, as this collector was only interested in quality material. The other thing that he also liked was to buy in quantities that exceeded his ability to process it, so there are auction, bidboard and dealer purchases that are still as they were originally purchased 40+ years ago, with very little material from the past 25 years. Each country has a decent basic collection, with more used than mint, and lots of town cancel interest. There is a bit of duplication, and a couple of souvenir sheets. Most are from the inter-war period, with only a bit from the post-USSR breakup. Hours of exploration here. Estimate =	$250.00	$180.00 4343
350	Worldwide - Bankers box of wonder. We are calling it that because we are wondering how such a diverse group of material ended up in a single box. There is an intriguing handful of very old approval type booklets with worldwide, including lots of Europe (and specifically post-war mint French semi-postals). There are a few stockbooks of various sizes, conditions and contents, including German States and Canada, followed by some loose album pages that include Papua New Guinea stamps and stationery from the 1980s. All the previously mentioned, plus more, as we tried fighting our way to the bottom of the box. Estimate =	$180.00	$85.00 6486
351	Worldwide - Bird Topical Collection of 610 different modern POSTALLY USED stamps. Alphabetically sorted by country within a double-sided 10 page Caravel mid-sized stockbook. Better material here, with none of the "cancelled to order" stamps you often see in topical offerings. Spectacular! Take a good look at the scans to appreciate the scope of the lot. Estimate =	$150.00	$130.00 6645
352	Worldwide - Box of leftovers from an estate. Starts with an intriguing homemade collection of mint "World War II" issues unfortunately covering only "A" to "C" countries, with strength in Albania, Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia and Bulgaria. There is an approval style binder of Barbados, a sparse stockbook with some worthwhile "Mushroom" topicals, plus a binder appropriately labelled "Misc" and two handfuls of loose material, including some worthwhile European (including a couple nicer souvenir sheets) and Asia (primarily British or Japan). There are special collections of the 1978 QEII Coronation Jubilee and the 1980 Moscow Olympics. If you have a bit of time and like sorting and researching, this lot is for you. Estimate =	$150.00	$110.00 269
353	Worldwide - British and post-colonial Middle Eastern bundle of album pages, dealer cards and glassines. From classics to modern issues, we note Aden (and some "States"), Kuwait, Iraq, Qatar, Bahrain, plus some "Dunes" and overprints on Syrian stamps. A couple thousand stamps, with very little organization. Better looking items are seen throughout. Estimate =	$180.00	$325.00 4870
354	Worldwide - British Commonwealth Holding. A value-laden offering of "odds and ends" from where the "Sun Never Sets", half-filling a bankers box. Includes (in no particular order)…1) Approximately 50 manila stockpages / pages filled with a range of Canadian and British Commonwealth including some early QV India. 2) Large glassine filled with a batch of a couple dozen Canadian postal stationery items, plus some Fiji / Canada sorted into smaller glassines. 3) Three stockbooks, filled / partially filled with mostly mint material including a good run of "South Pacific" with dozens of complete sets noted. 4) A 1937 Coronation miniature omnibus album, with most of the common design sets (noted Falkland Islands is present, but Hong Kong is missing). 4) Group of 23 complete mint QEII booklets, from Canada, UK, Isle of Man, Guernsey, Jersey and Falkland Islands. A wonderful sort ahead! Estimate =	$300.00	$190.00 269
355	Worldwide - Collection of seven European countries in an older Lighthouse springback album, in excellent condition. Finland, Gibraltar, Vatican City, Luxembourg, Norway with stronger sections of both Austria and Switzerland. A mix of mostly mint, about 2000 stamps in total, with some used issues up to 1970. Strength is post-war with lots of periods of completeness, and some nice back of the book, including semi-postals and airmail stamps. The stamps themselves are generally in excellent condition, and very lightly hinged to the pages. The first page for each country includes a sample of spaces for about the first 75 years of stamp issuing for each country, from the 1870’s to around WWII. Afterwards, it is a more robust set of pages to about 1955. Afterwards, the collector added quadrilled pages. Noted individual stamps with catalogue values up to $20.00 each. Estimate =	$200.00	$100.00 6583
356	Worldwide - Europe-strong accumulation of both "on and off" paper with some sorted into glassines and a bit on "102" cards. Strong in Belgium and Netherlands, but noticed some Germany, Canada among many other countries and there is even a section of topical material. The balance of a swept-out stamp room filling about 2/3 of a 38-litre Rubbermaid container. Includes earlier issues to the late 19th and early 20th century. Set aside a number of hours to explore this lot. Estimate =	$150.00	$110.00 6486
357	Worldwide - Germany and Europe-heavy mostly used accumulation, sorted chronologically into #8 sized envelopes, covering much of the 20th century (and a bit more), and packed into 4 boxes, which then fill a bankers box. Up to 10 of a kind, with over 2 boxes being Germany and East Germany, and the balance being assorted Europe (strong in France and noting Greece, Hungary, Poland + another 15 countries). Thousands of stamps. A non-European bonus is that many of the envelopes originated as commercial mail from many small Alberta and BC businesses, and there may be some appeal for the post-1970 corner card collector. Offered as received from an estate. Estimate =	$200.00	$46.00 6634
358	Worldwide - Judaica Seal / Label / Cinderella Stamps. Two over-filled manila stocksheets containing a fascinating accumulation of Jewish related seals / charity stamps. We can't say we get much of this sort of material here! Included is a photocopy of the 1978 published "Mossbaugh's U.S. All Funds Seal Catalog, Section V, Jewish Seals" to help guide you along. Also included is an auction receipt from which the original owner purportedly spent US$166.00 in 1984 for this group! Offered as received from a local estate. Estimate =	$140.00	$110.00 4117
359	Worldwide - Large box stuffed with albums, binders and pages that span the globe! A diverse and interesting accumulation albums, which include (in no particular order). 1) Linder 18-ring album with a smattering of France, including earlier issues. 2) Scott Specialty album with various countries (Russia, Far Eastern Republic, Vietnam, Sweden, Korea). 3) Binder with old-time pages with A-Z worldwide (picked over, but still many better remaining). 4) Bundle of pages which includes 1980's mint Spain and a couple stockpages of used Hawaii. 5) Jersey / Isle of Man (two different binders) with mint collections from the 1970's to 1990's. 6) Germany 3rd Reich First Day Cancel semi-postals on piece (large duplicated dealer's holding). 7) "The Balance" which includes a few different binders with smatterings of everything from booklets, to Isreal to British Commonwealth (and everything in-between). A worthwhile sort ahead for the intrepid collector. Estimate =	$300.00	$170.00 5984
360	Worldwide - Late 20th century mix of on and off paper, filling a bankers box. From all over, but noticed strength in Canada, New Zealand and pockets of European material. Most is "free range", but small quantities are sorted into envelopes or glassines. A "one off" balance of a collector’s stamp room clear-out. Thousands of stamps here, with the potential for better, including cancels. More used than mint and some duplication can be expected. Estimate =	$150.00	$60.00 6600
361	Worldwide - Latin America. Diverse and interesting mixed bundle. Starts with Brazil #713-714, with the local overprint on card and an unused pair (one of only 530 pairs ever released, listed but unpriced in Scott). There is a copy of Mexico #40 used with a certificate indicating a small thin (Scott US$275.00), and there are some complete mint sheets from the 1960s including airmail issues. A small, mounted collection of Panama is followed by some older Venezuela approvals and Paraguay issues from the 1960s. Stock pages have Argentina, Brazil and Chile (and there is a mint block of 25 of the 1948 Chilean "Natural History" air mail). There is also a small bit of loose or unsorted material, including some souvenir sheets floating around. A region which is finally getting some long overdue attention. Estimate =	$180.00	$85.00 6087
362	Worldwide - One of our standard bankers boxes, containing: Two jam-packed stockbooks of wonderful good quality used Canada from the annotated ages; a bunch of recycled stuff including a world album of everything; a small stock book with American collection of 59 plate blocks and other blocky stuff (somebody must specialize in these!) and then, hold onto your socks, a bonus shoe box of envelopes fair-to-bursting with American classics. Lots of sorting for hidden gems and postmarks - only for the intrepid. Estimate =	$100.00	$55.00 6600
363	Worldwide - Packet Palooza / Glassines Galore! Large box, packed with several small boxes, each crammed with Worldwide off-paper, sorted into glassines by country. A mix of both mint and used, with the majority being the latter with material from seemingly every corner of the earth. While most of the stamps / sets won't be high-catalogue value items, the sheer amount of material here will prove to be immensely fun to sort through, for specific countries, topicals and postmark interest. MANY thousands of stamps here, well worth the conservative estimated value. Estimate =	$300.00	$140.00 4466
364	Worldwide - Retired Circuit Book BALANCE OF CONSIGNMENT. A premium selection of both mint (mostly hinged) and used stamps, arranged in 16 retired APS circuit books.

Total number of stamps is 279, with a total Scott catalogue value of US$5953.05 = $8036.60 CDN. Estimate =	$600.00	$450.00 1805

Expect the odd duplicate and the odd small fault, but overall a very tidy offering. Total number of stamps is 148, with a total Scott catalogue value of US$3874.50 = $5230.60 CDN. Estimate =	$400.00	$350.00 1805
367	Worldwide - Scandinavia. All great consignments eventually come to an end. And some of them go out with a "Bang"! The final lot from this estate includes better at every turn, plus the potential for undiscovered finds here and there. Norway is well represented with some mint and used sets from the 1920's-1950's and there is a nice grouping of Finland on stockpages. Denmark starts with a small, mounted collection of numeral town cancels, with a smaller but impressive collection of Greenland town cancels. Touch of Sweden, Faroe Islands, Iceland. Much of the material is in glassines or on bidboard pages going back over 40 years. The condition is quite nice, and there is only a touch of duplication. A few hundred stamps here and bringing order to this chaos will be a rewarding process. Estimate =	$200.00	$325.00 4870
368	Worldwide - Selection of "S to Z" countries, mint and (mostly) used, neatly arranged in "102" or similar cards by country within two plastic trays. A very clean offering of material, which has lots of "added value" by having each card being identified as to Scott catalogue numbers and value. While most of these cards have singles / sets under $5.00, there is a mountain of them here and the catalogue value would add up quickly. A wonderful grouping to amalgamate into your current holdings, or for a show / internet dealer looking to acquire some "instant stock". Estimate =	$250.00	$140.00 4466
369	Worldwide - Spectacular "Fishing the North Atlantic" topical stamp holding, the balance of the group we have sold some portions from over the past couple months. A very diverse offering, which was purchased by the original owner with exhibiting in mind and as such features an array of different "stamp formats" including (mostly) mint, imperforates, trail colour proofs, deluxe proofs, die-proofs, souvenir sheets, sheets and booklets. Spanning the globe, with notable groups from St. Pierre et Miquelon, Gibraltar, France, Germany, Greenland, Iceland, Danzig, Portugal, Ireland etc (many others not listed). All premium material, likely all purchased by the previous collector one set or stamp at a time! Nicely arranged on over 16 pages (stockpages, some double-sided). Estimate =	$300.00	$230.00 6638
370	Worldwide - Stamps / Supplies. A holding of Manila stockpages! Lot consists of a box of 122 used, 3-hole, 12-pocket pages in a variety of styles. About half still hold their original stamps (lots of European material), and any notations are generally in light pencil which can be easily removed (just like the stamps if so desired). Estimate =	$100.00	$55.00 5735
371	Worldwide - United States, Great Britain, some Latin America and bag with a couple of pounds of on and off paper worldwide, ending with a box of Canadian bundleware. A mostly used accumulation, sorted chronologically into #8 sized envelopes, starting back in the 1880s and going into the early 2000s, and packed into a couple of boxes. There is a medium sized box with a number of mostly 1950s-1960s used Canada bundles of 100, and every remaining space is filled with a bag of worldwide kiloware (including lots off paper). Among the sections sorted into #8 sized envelopes, many originated as commercial mail from many small Alberta and BC businesses, and there may be some appeal for the post-1970 corner card collector. Offered as received from an estate. Estimate =	$150.00	$24.00 6634
372	Worldwide - Zeppelin / Airship Group. An enticing offering of Zeppelin / Airship material including a 1928 Graf Zeppelin airmail from USA to Germany, a FORGED example of the 1930 (C28) Zeppelin South American Flight (stamp in-hand is a noticeable forgery), 9 early "period" postcards featuring Airships, 53x more modern (probably 30+ years old) reproduction postcards and (most interestingly) a piece of the original Graf Zeppelin fabric, taken from the Airship after decommission by the Nazi government in 1940. A fascinating group. Estimate =	$200.00	$60.00 3509
373	Worldwide Cinderellas - Labels, Cinderellas, poster stamps, locals, revenues and trial stamps, are all here in one form or another. In order of appearance, there is a USS Akron label, and a couple Netherlands "Rocket Mail" souvenir sheets, a number of Victoria (Australia) Fish and Wildlife stamps (1973-1981, often 5 of a kind), Madagascar local post and parcel post stamps, 10 different Virginia (USA) state duck stamps, Suez Canal Co labels, reproductions of the 1847 Mauritius duo, and some European poster stamps. Perhaps the gems of this lot are United States and Great Britain "trial stamps", "trial coils" and "post office training stamps" going back to about 1910, the American ones are listed in Scott US Specialized, but a few of these are unpriced. There are Canada TB labels in large blocks or sheets and glassine bundles of everything modern Canada, including lesser-seen post office instructional and sorting labels. The lot ends with some ridiculous-ness with the 1968 Mad Magazine and the 1990 Doonesbury Stamp album, both with its satirical "stamps" intact. An interesting little bundle. Estimate =	$170.00	$85.00 5979
374	Worldwide Covers - A "shoebox" sized box, filled with array / selection of 95 covers and postcards, which will have you spinning your globe locating all the countries of origin. Notable strengths are India, New Zealand, Italy, British Commonwealth etc. All are individually sleeved and priced (most between $5-$50). The total retail price marked adds up to $2125.00, but the pricing at first glance seems a bit liberal, so we have decided to estimate this group instead. Estimate =	$150.00	$130.00 2753
375	Worldwide Covers - Bankers box with roughly 1,500 worldwide covers and postcards, generally ranging from the 1930s to the 1980s, containing mostly Europe and Commonwealth countries including Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Japan, and much more.

Estimate =	$200.00	$140.00 5735
376	Worldwide Covers - Bankers box, filled with a philatelic globe-trotting adventure of postcards and covers. Likely 1500+ items here, which include (in no particular order) Canada, USA, flights, FDC, Europe, picture postcards, Alberta cancelled covers, Germany etc. Some loose (sleeved and unsleeved), others on pages and on stocksheets. Should be a fun sort, especially at the estimated value of less than 10c per item. Estimate =	$150.00	$44.00 3208
377	Worldwide Covers - Military Mail. Accumulation of roughly 375 worldwide WWI and WWII military mail in a small plastic tub, consisting of Germany, G.B., and Commonwealth countries in particular. We note a wide variety of censor tapes, handstamps, field post offices, P.O.W. mail, hospital mail, and more. Some of the covers are sleeved and have retail prices ranging from $5 to $30 each. A great lot for the military collector. Typical condition for military mail, ranging from mixed to better. Estimate =	$350.00	$220.00 6388
378	Worldwide Covers - Postal Stationery Holding. Group of a few hundred used and unused postal stationery items, generally ranging from the 1880s to the 1930s, noting British Commonwealth and European countries, along with a few unused cards from Hawaii.

381	Worldwide Postcards - A u-haul box containing worldwide postcards in 7 albums and loose 4-pocket plastic card protectors, includes many hundreds of cards, noting many classic era cards up to modern chromes.

385	Worldwide Postcards - Ex. Dealer Estate Hoard #3. Many hundreds of USA postcards, which appears to be an even mix of classics and chromes, noting real photo and colourized cards. Just a few of the themes encountered include buildings, Native Indians (mostly from Arizona), Alaska views, street scenes, nature, and much more. Some of the cards have been sleeved with some having retail prices ranging from $3 to $15 each. A few faults on a few of the cards, overall a nice interesting lot. Estimate =	$120.00	$55.00 6527

389	Worldwide Postcards - Royalty / Historic Figures Selection. A group of 39 worldwide postcards depicting important individuals including British royalty, politicians, military leaders, all generally from the King Edward VII to King George V reign. A few patriotic cards noted. A nice lot for any postcard collector. Estimate =	$120.00	$120.00 3634
390	Worldwide Postcards - Shoebox with approx 300 postcards, being an OLD TIME holding of "Art" or "Illustrated" postcards including satire, WWII, Art Deco, Glamour, Children, Ladies etc, with a mix of both signed (attributed) and unsigned postcards. These cards came from the estate of a collector that usually coded each card (in pencil) with the date purchased and most appear to be accumulated in the late 1970's! Many better noted throughout, including a good batch of "Bainsfather" WWII satire postcards. A nice opportunity for some better illustrators to be found there, as these were accumulated "pre-internet" and offered as received. Estimate =	$200.00	$150.00 6428

392	Worldwide Supplies - Bankers Box of lightly-used stockbooks. A high-quality assortment 14 stockbooks, from a variety of manufacturers, but we did note these are mostly Lighthouse / Unisafe brands (mostly white-pages), filling a bankers box. While a few show a bit of wear and tear, overall these are much cleaner than we usually see. The "as new" retail on these would be well over $400.00 now, as prices of philatelic supplies have been on the rise. We had a similar lot to this in the last sale, from the same estate. Estimate =	$180.00	$150.00 6293
393	Worldwide Supplies - Bankers Box Supplies Clean Up #1. The first of a group of used supplies (with lots of life left in them) from a common consignor.

394	Worldwide Supplies - Bankers Box Supplies Clean Up #2. The first of a group of used supplies (with lots of life left in them) from a common consignor.

A very useful holding. Estimate =	$120.00	$110.00 3732
395	Worldwide Supplies - Bankers Box Supplies Clean Up #3. The first of a group of used supplies (with lots of life left in them) from a common consignor.

397	Worldwide Supplies - Plastic Cover Sleeves. A full box of 13x packs of 100 (1300 sleeves), each 117x262mm, meant to house #10 size covers (one of the more difficult sizes to find cover sleeves for). This "new old stock" box was unopened prior to us opening it to take a couple pictures. We note that these can easily be cut-down to make sleeves for covers smaller than #10 size. While these sleeves are no longer produced, the "as new" retail price would easily be over $200.00. Estimate =	$100.00	$42.00 6216
398	Worldwide Supplies - Plastic Postcard Sleeves. A full box 20x packs of 100 (2000 sleeves), each sized to house the European sized "continental" postcard (slightly larger than the traditional postcard).

A full box 20x packs of 100 (2000 sleeves), each sized to house the FDC, billed / described as "European FDC", but these fit Canadian Official FDC / British GPO FDC well.

400	Worldwide Supplies - Plastic Postcard Sleeves. A full box 25x packs of 100 (2500 sleeves), each sized to house the traditional postcard (102x153mm).

Australia - Bankers box half-filled with a balance of an extensive estate that we have been selling over the past few months. A mix of old and new. There is a bit of unsorted and assorted "States", only a few ‘Roos, and then a small holding of mostly used King George V heads (a couple of the mint indicate that they have inverted watermarks). Some nice cancels and multiples are noted, including a £1 Arms block. Among the decimal era, we noted a mint set of the Explorers, Cook souvenir sheets (regular and ANPEX), plus some mint into the early 1980’s with face values to A$10. This collection has been filled with surprises, so you never know if it has one more trick up its sleeve. Estimate =

There are a dozen different complete booklets including the Prime Ministers.

Includes lots of semi-postals (mostly mint, up to 1976), airmails, postage dues, newspaper, a bit of occupation overprint and some Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Belgian Congo #14/129 plus Back of the Book. An unexplored dealer’s stockbook with a decent offering of 1890's-1928 issues, both mint and used, with 1-15 examples of most. The mint is fresh and hinged, the used are often selected for the quality and readability of their cancels, including many from smaller communities. A quick check showed individual stamps with catalogue values up to $20.00 each, and the total catalogue value will climb quickly, as there are a few hundred stamps here. The only downside is that this 16-page Uni-Safe stockbook has been dropped a couple of times. We have somewhat successfully got most of the material back to where it should be, but more organizing will be required. You don’t see lots like this anymore! Estimate =

Canada - Private Courier stamp HOARD. BC-based private courier service mint label hoard from the estate of the person who ran the operation. Starting in the early 1980s, during a postal strike, a local post service was setup to run international mail over to Port Angeles, WA for a fee, paid for by a label attached to the back flap, along with appropriate American postage. Based on its popularity with collectors, additional stamps were produced for the next decade. Locally printed, these stamps have significant variability in print quality, rouletting etc. After 40 years of handling and storage, the condition can be a bit mixed in place, but overall these are pretty nice. The counts are for complete sheets, although extra blocks and singles may be hiding.

Canada Covers - Alberta cancel mini-hoard in a bankers box. The results of at least three collectors who collaborated to obtain hand cancels from every post office and (more importantly) sub-post office in the province. A very successful partnership that involved research, patience and a substantial financial commitment. Many of these cancels will likely only exist because of their work. This was the balance of one of the collector’s stamp room, and has no indication of any order. A banker’s box is filled with philatelic, favour, personal and commercial covers (plus a number of cut-down covers and large pieces), of both #8 and #10 sized mostly from 1990-2022, but with scattered items back to the 1950’s. Expect some minor duplication amongst the approximately 1700 covers. It cost a small fortune to acquire, and it will take a larger fortune if you try to repeat this venture. A bargain at the estimated value. Estimate =

Canada Covers - Mid-Elizabethan collection of Alberta registered covers in five homemade "folios".

Sorted by post offices with "G" to "Y" towns (including a number of Lethbridge and Medicine Hat sub offices), plus Calgary subs 63 to 148 and Edmonton main post office, plus a few Stations and Sub-Offices. Besides the interesting rates, there is a host of short-lived and certainly obsolete hand cancels, registered markings, etc. Presumably a number of these post offices are also gone or changed status. The only downside to this lot is that part of making these albums involved taping the covers in. Most will remove with minimal damage, but it will slow down the process.

Canada Covers - Modern cancel hunt filling a pair of envelope boxes with the results of a circa 2008-2009 mail out to Post Offices across the country with a self-addressed stamp envelope requesting the post office to return it with a hand cancellation from that Post Office. This effort resulted in several hundred #10 covers from "rural" post offices, mostly franked with commemoratives or Christmas issues struck with 6-digit POCON/HRIS or "Wing" cancels, or the "Pictorial" CDS cancels that were popular at the time. We didn’t see any Quebec or Northwest Territories, but there is lots of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland-Labrador and Ontario, with about a half box from the Western Provinces. Postmasters sometimes included notes about the post office, or the closure dates for Post Offices.

Canada Covers - Not your usual group of philatelically-inspired covers and FDCs. Between 1971 and 1984, this Edmonton-area collector/dealer created about 300 covers with no cachets, but used value added services (typically registration or Special Delivery). When he mounted the covers in four 3-ring binders, he added a number of brochures, posters or the inserts that came when buying complete panes. The covers are #10 sized or bigger and used the contemporary stamp(s) along with some older issues to make up the rate. The covers usually had post office labels added, typically for the service and/or a "1st Class" or "Fragile" label. The items were sent from a range of post offices, with hand cancels, so a number of cancels await the postmark collector (including a few MOON cancels). Estimate =

The return rate was quite high, and these covers have a combination of ship name, number and sometimes a rubber stamp or embossed cachet. Total of about 754 covers, most with two examples per ship (so over 350 different ships are here). A labour of love, with significant effort to assemble this. Estimate =

USA Covers - Navy Covers Part B: Three volume naval post office cancels, mounted on pages and in page protectors, a compendium to the previous lot. Created by a collector in Edmonton in 1968, who wrote every US naval ship that he thought might have a post office and created self-addressed envelopes. The return rate was quite high, and two volumes contain about 410 covers which have a combination of ship name, number and sometimes a rubber stamp or embossed cachet. The third volume has about 155 covers for the Naval support of various Apollo space flight missions with often capsule recovery operations. There is a bit of bonus material, with some of the correspondence from this undertaking, plus about another 50 loose covers (probably duplicated material, and there are a few from non-US countries) and even a touch of ephemera sent by a couple of ships. Total of just over 600 covers with a range of 1-5 covers per ship, likely over 250 different ships. A labour of love, with significant effort to assemble this. Estimate =

Vietnam - An accumulation running the length of its tumultuous 1950's to 1970's period, with various issues from the Republic and Democratic Republic with a few post-war issues and a bit of "back of the book". Bought in the early 1980s when philatelic references of this period were lagging, leading to a bit of chaos. There are three main collections, plus a series of dealer cards and approval pages that go into this lot. Includes some primitive war-time printings, lots of overprints, with individual stamps having up to $20.00 catalogue value. Some minor duplication, and the potential for hidden diamonds here.

Worldwide - "Calling All Classic Collectors!" Duo of old-time albums that will be music to the ears of any collector of early worldwide material. A mix of both mint and used material, neatly arranged (and easily removeable) from almost entirely the pre-1900 period. The first album is an "Oppen's Postage Stamp Album" circa 1885, with 901 stamps spanning the globe, in which we we noted particular strength in Canada, British Commonwealth and South America (note, there is a wonderful looking page of Brazil "Bull's Eye" stamps, but likely early forgeries). The second album is a Scott "International Postage Stamp Album, Nineteenth Century" with 1391 stamps, again with strength in British Commonwealth and South America. While the odd small fault is to be expected, the vast majority of the stamps held within these albums look to be sound, choice examples. Some countries are vacant, perhaps removed decades ago to start the original collector's individual country collections. Offered as received, an excellent opportunity for the "classics" collector.

This stock is all pre-1970 and housed in a manila paged "Elbe" stockbook and is intact as was purchased over 40 years ago. Has been supplemented with a small handful of more contemporary issues from these same countries. Underappreciated in their day, these stamps have been tremendously appreciated (by both collectors and catalogue editors) in more recent years. Estimate =

Worldwide - Baltic Nations. Estonia, Latvia and (to a lesser extent) Lithuania accumulation, from an extensive estate. Have no fear, there are still lots of goodies here, as this collector was only interested in quality material. The other thing that he also liked was to buy in quantities that exceeded his ability to process it, so there are auction, bidboard and dealer purchases that are still as they were originally purchased 40+ years ago, with very little material from the past 25 years. Each country has a decent basic collection, with more used than mint, and lots of town cancel interest. There is a bit of duplication, and a couple of souvenir sheets. Most are from the inter-war period, with only a bit from the post-USSR breakup. Hours of exploration here. Estimate =
