Sparks Auction 52nd Sale

January 30th - February 1st, 2025

Welcome to the Sparks Auctions Winter 2025 sale!
 
This sale showcases an extensive selection of Canada and British North America, with particular emphasis on scarce and desirable plate and die proofs, superb-quality singles, and a diverse selection of striking modern errors and varieties. We're also pleased to offer an exceptional range of Canadian revenue stamps, including a number of scarce examples, rarely seen on the market, and more of Earle Covert's extensive Tobacco Tax collections.
 
British Commonwealth and worldwide stamps feature many ever-popular sets and singles, including the iconic 1933 Falkland Islands Centenary, a range of Great Britain from Line Engraved to Seahorses, and a scarce holding of 1960s People's Republic of China sheets and large multiples.
 
Canadian postal history is highlighted by a newly-recorded example of the rare August 1918 Pioneer flight of Lt. Tremper Longman, and a range of First and Second World War prisoner of war covers. The extensive and well-received offering of worldwide postal history from our last sale has been expanded, with a further selection of Victorian-era India postal history, United States, a broad selection of military and POW mail, and much more.

Short Terms and Conditions

The purchase price payable by the buyer in Canadian dollars will be the sum of the hammer price plus a commission equal to 17% of the hammer price (“buyer’s premium”), together with any tax which may be applicable.
