Happy Canada Day from Ottawa!

These two superb high values — Lots 1291 (Canada #159) & 1301 (Canada #177) — sold for $748 & $431 respectively. The first is the view you would still see if you walk twenty paces from our front door. Today you will have to also imagine a giant concert stage and tens of thousands of people enthusiastically celebrating Canada’s national holiday!
