October 2nd - 3rd, 2020
We are pleased to present this very interesting sale. Emphasis is on specialized British North America and Canada, with a wide range of areas spanning elusive essays, beautiful multiples, superb mint NH singles and postal history. The outstanding Thomas Douglas McKee collections takes centre stage. Built by a discerning philatelist over a period of more than 40 years, numerous single-lot items from Pence to modern errors are offered. Another highlight is Don Steele’s Newfoundland 1865-1897 Cents issues, and his collections of Canada and Provinces fakes and forgeries. An exceptional offering of specialized lots and collections from various consignors (including those from the McKee collection) concludes the sale. The auction will be conducted at the Lord Nelson Hotel, Halifax, Nova Scotia, in accordance with the latest provincial and specific hotel health protocols. We will maintain official guidelines to create a safe environment for the protection of our clients and staff. Please note that auction viewing will be by appointment only. If you plan to view please contact us as soon as possible to reserve a viewing time.
