1) 1928 Golden Jubilee Airmail
2) Canada/British North America (BNA) – Confederate Postal Correspondence during the U.S. Civil War (1861-1865)
1) Charles Livermore
2) Ron Majors
Northeastern Regional Group

This video includes two presentations.

1) The 50th anniversary of the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) was in 1928. To celebrate, two special airmail flights to the CNE in Toronto took place on 24 August 1928. One was from Quebec City, the other from Windsor. On 29 August, flights in the reverse direction, from the CNE to Quebec City and to Windsor took place. Charles Livermore discusses the flights and the First Flight Covers flown on them.

2) About 51,000 Canadians went to the U.S. to fight in the Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865. Many trans-border covers exist during this period as a result of Canada’s involvement. Covers from Canada to the U.S. are mostly franked with stamps from the 1859-1868 Decimal Issue, it being current at that time. Providing as backdrop the history of the Civil War, Ron Majors discusses and illustrates some of the cross-border covers he has come across.

Postal Stationery Cards of the James Smart Manufacturing Company
Chris Ellis

Chris tells the history of the James Smart Manufacturing Company and its use of postal stationery advertising cards during the Victorian, Edwardian, and later periods. The company operated a foundry and forging plant in Brockville, ON, and had a branch in Winnipeg, MB. It manufactured a wide range of products from clothes pins to stoves to furnaces. Chis also discusses the eventful history of the firm’s founder, James Smart (1819-1906).

Advertising Stationery Cards of the Pure Gold Manufacturing Co. (A. Jardine and Co.), Toronto, Ontario (Coffee, Teas, Spices, etc.), 1896-1914
Chris Ellis
Golden Horseshoe Regional Group

Chris takes us on a journey of how one company, Pure Gold, used postal stationery postcards from 1896 to 1914 to advertise and promote their products.  At the same time, he provides the fascinating history of the ownership changes of Pure Gold from their start in 1896 until when, after 75 years of operation, they ceased operation.  His talk combines a fascinating combination or philatelic and social history.

The Power of PowerPoint
Darin Cherniwchan

Darin Cherniwchan demonstrates how to use a scanner in conjunction with PowerPoint to create "flip pages" of your stamps.  This process allows you to review hundreds of stamps in a few seconds to see variations you might miss were you to examine one stamp at a time.

Davidson, dealer from St. John's and the cigar manufacturer Eugène, Goulmv & Baarfrom Amsterdam are shown.  Attached to some of this correspondence are stickers or labels in red with the letters "IVY” attached.

The 1923 Pictorial Stamps of Newfoundland, the Photographs, and the Photographer, Robert Edwards Holloway
Brian Damien
Newfoundland Study Group

The 1923 Newfoundland pictorials, based largely on images from photographer Robert Holloway, were pioneers in depicting landscapes on regular-issue stamps.  Some of the photos were taken on Holloway family vacations in the 1890s.  Designers later took liberties with the interpretation of the original images.  A recent biography of Holloway reveals the backstory behind the photos, as well as a fascinating look at life in St. John's in the years 1874-2004.

Robert Toombs
Air Mail Study Group

By the end of WW II, Ferry Command Dorval was responsible for flying some 10,000 aircraft to Britain, India, and Australasia in aid of the war effort. The effort began in 1940 when Lord Beaverbrook (Max Aitken of Moncton, NB) and Sir Edward Beatty, President of Canadian Pacific Railway, formed the Canadian Pacific Railway Air Services Dept. (C.P.R.A.S.) and recruited 44 civilian pilots to fly 26 bombers from Gander to Aldergrove, Ireland. Here is the story of Ferry Command Dorval.

Victoria Red Leaf Issue Advertising Postal Cards: History, Design, Regulations
Chris Ellis
Golden Horseshoe Regional Group

In December 1897, Postmaster General William Mulock announced that certain postal stationery post cards could display advertising on the address side of the card, subject to Post Office regulations regarding the size and position of the advertisement. The Post Office issued a 1¢ post card in the 1887-1898 Queen Victoria Maple Leaf series with the design in red. These cards, referred to as "Advertising cards", were the only ones for which advertising on the front was permitted.

In his presentation, Chris Ellis explores these Advertising cards, showing their usage, the colourful advertising that graced them, how the rules constrained the advertising, and, inevitably, how the rules were broken.

The presentation also explores the postal history of the booklets. Some of the stamps, the low values, are surprisingly difficult to find on cover.

This presentation is a sequel of sorts to Air Mail through Botwood available immediately below.

Air Mail through Botwood, 1939-1945
Chris Hargreaves

In 1939, Pan American and Imperial Airways flew four trans-Atlantic airmail services. Two routes went through Botwood, Newfoundland. Pan Am suspended flights during 1940-1941, but resumed them in 1942. The presentation solves several mysteries surrounding a First Flight cover postmarked 4 May 1942 marking the resumption of service from Newfoundland to the United Kingdom via the North Atlantic route.
