Description
COLLECTIONS: 1919-55, CANADA AIRPOST. Fascinating collection of over 50 covers, many nicely written up on pages with collateral material, some on stock pages with absurdly low old Sanabria prices noted. The focus here is on the semi-official issue of the 1920’s with many items catalogue hundreds each by Scott, with some combination Franks also; noting two airship “Bluenose” items and the rare “Bremen Rescue” (of which only 10 were flown!) to Greenly Island where the survivors were rescued; the cover bears US, Canadian, and Newfoundland stamps, a lovely collection well worth a careful inspection
