Diefenbaker Memorabilia

Despite a slow start with the sound yesterday, we managed to pick things up and broadcast as normal from about 11:30 onwards. We thank our bidders in the classic Canada section for their patience while we “ran silent.”

We start today with Commonwealth at 10:00am, followed by Worldwide, Postal History and then Lots & Collections.

Dief & PETWell toward the end of the sale is a section of ancillary material from an excellent Canada consignment. These are letters, photos, keepsakes and other memorabilia of Canada’s thirteenth Prime Minister, The Right Honourable
John Diefenbaker.

Included in lots 1747-1754 are hand- and typewritten correspondence from Diefenbaker, handwritten letters from his wife Olive to Diefenbaker’s personal secretary Iris Axford, official or candid photographs of “Dief” in ceremonial and family situations, etc.

Very interesting material and a bit out of the ordinary for us.
