"Marty Osler is a true collector. You can see his passion for history and the human experience reflected in the objects he acquired," said auction adviser Peter Baker, adding, "We discovered great things that haven't seen the light of day for thirty years and many are of museum quality."

Included are over twenty important "book" pieces and objects that span Canada's geographic regions, ranging from a dated crooked knife from Nova Scotia to a Haida dance paddle from the West Coast. "In addition to the high-end material, there are lots of interesting items that will appeal to beginning collectors," Baker said. "This is truly a something-for-everyone auction."

One lot certain to attract attention is a circa 1960 painting on green board by Maud Lewis (Canadian, 1903-1970) of a favorite local cove with the red-roofed Lynch House on the shore and the ferry Princess Helene entering the harbor. The Princess Helene operated between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia for 30 years. The signed, framed work should bring $8,000-$12,000 (Canadian dollars).
