Eastern’s Newfoundland sale features original-gum shilling and double-bisect cover
Philately NewsEastern Auctions’ Camellia PLC Newfoundland Part II sale is scheduled for 21 November, with 226 lots spanning stamps, postal history, proofs and original artwork. It is separate from the collection’s Canadian sale on 20 November.
Canadian Stamp News highlights lot 512, an 1860 one-shilling orange retaining much of its original gum. Eastern identifies three such original-gum examples; the report gives a catalogue valuation of C$80,000, rather than a realised price.
The reported offerings also include the Ferrary double-bisect cover from Harbour Grace to Sydney, Cape Breton, dated September 1864, estimated at C$50,000 or more. A pane of four of the 1930 Columbia flight surcharge carries the same lower estimate. Eastern identifies three surviving panes, including one in Library and Archives Canada.
Five original sketches for Newfoundland’s 1933 Labrador airmail issue are estimated at C$15,000 or more. An 1870 three-cent vermilion mint block of four is estimated at C$10,000 or more. These are presale estimates, not auction results.
