Lot 229 Accumulation of Mint and Used Federal and Provincial Revenues, 1860s-1960s, with a few thousand stamps, in two stockbooks, retired dealer pages, 102 cards, and roughly 30 stock pages housed in a binder. The lot has a little bit of everything, with a spot check indicating roughly 70% of the material relates to Federal revenues, noting excise, war tax, unemployment insurance, provincial and federal law stamps, luxury stamps, postal scrip issues, electricity and gas stamps, and more. A spot check noted Supreme Court FSC4 (used, c.v. $200); Excise FX20 block of 10 (used, $450), FX94 block of 10 (used, $275), leaving many other potential finds for the dedicated collector. Online photos show a sampling, with duplication up to 10 and up for some issues. We note a few small faults with a few of the stamps, overall fine to very fine. Estimate C$250, sold for C$1,300.00 plus 17% buyer’s premium.
