Eastern worldwide auction taking place April 30-May 1

By Michael Baadke
The upcoming April 30-May 1 public auction from Eastern Auctions offers Canada and British North America stamps and postal history, with numerous proofs and imperforates, modern errors and more.
The sale also features 1870-97 Small Queen postal history “with elusive domestic frankings, rates, early printings, better cancels and non-letter mail,” according to Eastern.
Further treats include the Daniel Cantor collections of Canada’s 1898 Map stamp, King Edward VII definitives and the 1908 Quebec Tercentenary issue; and a specialized collection of the 1911-31 Admiral issue.
The auction opens with a solid group of worldwide items featuring single stamps and covers, as well as a number of larger lots. United States offerings include numerous items from the 1893 Columbian Exposition issue and the 1898 Trans-Mississippi issue.
Featured among the British North America offerings are an imperforate unused 1851 New Brunswick 1-shilling bright red violet stamp on bluish paper, and an 1898 first-day cover of the 2¢ Imperial Penny Postage stamp mailed locally in Montreal, Quebec.
The auction will take place at Lord Nelson Hotel and Suites, 1515 S. Park St., Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
