Dear collector friend, http://www.hdphilatelist.com/epl276.pdf We were so happy to have a white Christmas and now - - the fluffy white stuff that was so magical in December is here again, it is tough now. The list was a bit delayed today as it took me an extra four hours to drive back from Ottawa last night. Anyway I love our snow and I love our country, here is the weekly list for you. Prices are in Canadian funds. Payment by credit card, cheque, etc as usual. Taxes are extra, if applicable.

Item 276-04 1 rate before Wartax imposed 1915, 1 Admiral tied by Toronto machine cancel on OHMS censored cover (from Soldier).
