We would like to thank everyone for their participation in our recent three-day November auction and to the consignors who entrusted their collections. 

Over 400 registered bidders competed for the 942 lots on offer. An increasing number of clients are taking advantage of the live webcast auction, available exclusively on our eastern@home platform. This platform allows bidders to participate as if they were present in the auction room, thanks to the sharp video and clear audio. A very satisfactory total result approaching $1,500,000 hammer was achieved for the Nova Scotia specialized sale, and the General Sale combined. A staggering 15,640 bids were received on the 942 lots offered. 

Very impressive results were seen throughout, notably on the two-ring numeral cancellations and pioneer airmail flight covers. Specialized material continues to be keenly sought-after, proving once again the lavish presentation of the material combined with our unmatched client base will reap rewards for future consignors. 

The next few months will be exciting. We are delighted to announce the sale of the Brigham Estate – Province of Canada featuring Pence & Cents issues and the Glen Lundeen Collection of the Admiral Issue of Canada. The first part of each of these collections will come to the auction block in March 2023. Auction Preview brochures will be mailed early in January. 

We predict that with the ensuing excitement, advertising & promotion, our General Sale slated for Spring will be very well received. Already on hand are the James Taylor St. Pierre & Miquelon extensive exhibit collections, the Manfred Walther dealer stock of Canada & Worldwide (kept untouched since his untimely death in May 1991), an excellent offering of Canada & Provinces proofs (several rarely seen) and other holdings. With the great exposure and interest generated, the demand for catalogues will be heavy – a great opportunity to consider consigning. Why not get in touch to discuss your holdings? 

Happy Holidays!
