Wilson collection – the largest selection we have had the pleasure to offer; also elusive early mint multiples, King George VI and airmail errors.

Canada begins with an extensive display of early mails from New France (French Regime) to about 1850, often with an interesting historical twist, rare marking or rate. Canada Pence & Cents features the Richard P. Thompson Cents Issue exhibit collection. We are thrilled to present the Colchester collection of Large Queen stamps and postal history. Jack Forbes’ collection of colours, shades and perforations on mint and used multiples issued during the Small Queen period, followed by excellent Widow Weeds and Small Queen era postal history with destinations. An outstanding Admiral postal history collection is offered intact, followed by unissued 1914 Macdonald-Cartier essays, modern errors, semi-official airmails, and other areas. The final day of the auction will showcase over 200 lots of revenues, highlighted by Richard S. Wilson Supreme Court Law Stamps and “IN PRIZE” overprinted stamps and documents. Offerings from other consignors include Bill and Inspection stamps, British Columbia and Upper & Lower Canada Law proofs.
