Stamp

for Philatelic Collectors'

Exhibitions Club

fond of the stamps of British The late Alfred H. Caspary was particularly North America and the difficulty of obtaining examples of the early issues in superb conclition was a challenge to this discriminating collector who would accept nothing but the best.

The famous "Ferrari "; "Hind "; "Pack " and "Reford" collections which have been disper sed over the years contained a choice lot of British North American stamps , but none of them had the same uniform high standard of quality as the Caspary collection and a perusal of the following pages will reveal a connoiseur who , above all, appreciated beauty and rarity .

The first session on Tuesday, October 9th contains the stamps of Canada , with the main strength in the imperforate issues, and what a lot they are. Here you will find beautiful copies of the 6d on laid in singles and pairs, mint and used, and many choice covers. The 12d mint with sheet margin at bottom is one of the finest copies in existence and in addition there are three choice used examples.

On wove paper I noticed an unused copy of the 6d value, an exceedingly rare stamp, and a choice copy on cover with large margins and imprint at top. The 3d "beavers" on wove paper are a fine lot, contammg a used block of six , pairs and singles in profusion and a combination cover of great rarity comprising a 3d beaver and a 3c United States stamp used from Dundas , Upper Canada to New York in 1856. Among the "ten penny's " are a

lovelv used strip of three - multiples of this stamp are exceedingly rare - and choice single stamps on cover. The rare 6d perforated is represented by two mint and two used examples.

The "1859 issue" , while not as strong as the "Pence " , has some wonderful pieces , one of which is a lightly cancelled strip of three of the 5c beaver , one stamp with major re-entry . The 10c black-brown is represented with two mint examples and three choice copies tied on large piece and two singles on covers.

In the "1868 Large Queens " issue I noticed a fine mint block of four of the 2c value on thin paper, a very rare item , and a mint block of four of the le on medium wove paper.

The second session on Wednesday , October 10th starts off with British Columbia and here we find that great rarity, the 5c imperforate in very fine condition . I also noticed a !Oc imperforate mint, and several choice covers with the Dietz and Nelson Express cancellation and the rare 'Barnard ' s Express ' label; these covers are greatly sought after by B. N. A . specialists.

In New Brunswick, a mint pair of the 3d; 6d mint and a fine used strip of three with "23" numeral cancellation . There are six "shillings", mint and used, and a fine "Connell".

When I saw the Caspary Newfoundland scarlet-vermilions for the first time I could hardly believe my eyes. Here were the finest copies in immaculate condition and topped off by one of the great rarities in the whole Caspary collection , a strip of three of the 2d value in a brilliant shade, on choice cover to Devonshire . The history of this remarkable cover is quite interesting.

It was found in an old desk in Devonshire about 1935 by a second-hand furniture dealer who paid a few shillings for the desk. Taking the cover to London , he offered it at auction and it was bought by a member of "the trade" who sold it to Caspary for an undisclosed sum.

An attractive cover in the Nova Scotia collection is a combination of the ld, 3d and 6d values, all fine copies, paying the double letter packet rate to New York, and having the Boston packet marking on face. Th~re is a mint pair, and a used strip of three of the ld value, choice 6d's including that rare and undervalued stamp the 6d deep green in mint condition, and one unused and five used copies of the "shilling " .

There is no doubt, in my opinion, that long after these sales have passed into history, the term, " Caspary quality " will mean , in the philatelic world, the best that is available in the classic issues of postage stamps.
