Decided to start a new thread for these three covers, as two of them wouldn't fit in the "stampless covers" thread.

Enjoy.
Chip

Chip - very nice pick-up on the Red River fancy stampless in the Maresch auction. I thought about bidding on that one but did not. By any chance did you also buy lot 636?

Chip, in your write-up, you state the the Red River Settlement "is now Winnipeg". That is not correct. While the area included Winnipeg, it was much greater. It was the basis for the formation of the province of Manitoba.

Regardless, a wonderful display!

by the way - there were a pile of Red River covers in Floyd Risvold's sale a few years ago (as well as an amazing array of other goodies).

That sale is still available online at: http://stampauctionnetwork.com/f/f121.cfm

Thanks for the correction on Winnipeg. I'll update the page.

Here are two REALLY unusual covers that recently found their way here.

Chip,
Very well done, nicely executed and informative. Have you considered justifying the text? Just my opinion but I think it would make for a bit more polished look and feel. It would look like this..

Thanks, Don.
Usually, I don't have that much text on a page. In this case, justified may work better. I'll play around with them a bit.
(cool covers, aren't they)
