Another Canada collection, this one with scans, which obviously held treasures for those who took time to view it thoroughly.

Canada Collection of fancy cancellations in two binders, a better than average collection with over 1,400 mostly Small Queens (virtually all 3¢ value). We noted many coloured cancels, good quantity of better early shades and a wide variety of cancels with not much duplication. Many cancels are illustrated with D&S numbers. A very clean collection and rarely offered in this extensive a lot. Condition generally fresh and fine or better. Estimate $500, sold for $1000 hammer.

Canada #1933i 2002 48¢ Year of the Horse, "Missing Horse" error imperforate pair, full margins, mint never hinged, very fine. A rare item. Unitrade CV $2500, sold for $1500 hammer.

A good realization for an item unpriced in Unitrade:

Canada 468Ac 1969 6¢ orange Centennial coil used imperforate vertical strip of 3, used and tied to piece by Bathurst NB cds dated AP.15.1970. Perforated at top otherwise imperforate, Very Fine. Rare and unpriced used by Unitrade. Estimate $500, sold for $525 hammer.

This was one that rewarded further inspection: Collection of CDS cancellations in three binders, an above average quality collection of over 4,250 stamps from Small Queens (great majority) to 1950s. Large portion are socked on the nose, fully dated cancels. Noted small Prince Edward County collection, cancels from most provinces. A nice collection. Estimate $750, hammer price $1900.

Another sold at full catalogue value.
