We wish all of our bidders (and consignors!) the best of luck in a sale that is shaping up to be quite remarkable.

Featured Item #16

Lot #139 Canada #45a – Queen Victoria – 10¢ Dull Rose. Extremely well centered strip of four with tidy "Toronto MR5/94" cds cancels and wonderful colour. Top quality item. Unitrade:$240

Ian says: "Because the Small Queens were perforated using line perforation machines it is unusual to find a multiple with consistently very fine centering. This strip of four with its deep colour, attractive circular date stamp postmarks and overall quality made an immediate ‘wow’ impression. This visually spectacular strip is made up of two pairs which have been expertly rejoined."

Featured Item #15

Lot #788 Newfoundland #212-225P – Sir Humphrey Gilbert Issue. Impressive and very interesting complete set of numbered die proofs of this 1933 issue. Printed entirely in black, the clear details are extensive. The thin, translucent paper shows the Coat of Arms watermark of the issue, uncharacteristic of most die proofs. Suitable for exhibition. Est:$6000

Ian comments: "This lot of die proofs offers a complete set of fourteen. Each has a number and is printed on thin paper with the watermark of the Newfoundland Coat of Arms. Another great Exhibition item."
