Ontario - balance on exhibit pages, Massive collection on over 140 exhibit pages. Highlights are literally too numerous to mention, but there are hundreds of RF25-70 towns plus lots of earliest and latest usages, indicia errors, fabulous illustrated advertising covers. Stamps are mainly low values with almost no 8¢ Small Queens, 3¢ Jubilees, 2¢ Maps or 5¢ Registered Letter Stamps, which were lotted elsewhere in the catalogue. A rough guess as to the quantity of material here would about 200 covers and 500 stamps. This represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire, all at one time, some of the best material the field has to offer.
Estimate 5,000 - 7,500

Includes several hundred stamps and perhaps 150 covers, all sorted in sleeves, on cards and even on Hennok's auction pages (with some "realizations" of more than $100). Includes some very nice advertising covers. Good variety of stamps, though most of the 2¢ Maps and and 3¢ Jubilee covers have been removed. Condition is generally F-VF. Allow a good bit of time to examine this one.
