EJP - Robson Lowe Sale of J Grant Glassco British Post Offices Abroad, 25 Nov 1969

J. GRANT GLASSCO went through all these phases for he started collecting stamps as a schoolboy.

During the Second World War when he was Controller of the De Havilland Aircraft Company of Canada Ltd., the intensity of his work brought the necessity for some absorbing relaxation and he turned his attention to philately. The more obscure the problem, the greater the challenge to a keen intellect and he amassed a huge quantity of those stamps which attracted him in order to study all the complexities of printing, paper, colour and perforations — the science of philately. At the same time he formed the basis of the outstanding collection of classic stamps of British North America for which he became famous among collectors.

It was while studying these issues that he was attracted to the humanity of the hobby, and began his studies of routes and rates, realising that this field offered more scope and more interest to anyone whose life was wrapped up in the economic development of both his own country and the world.

He disposed of his main collection of classic stamps only retaining those covers which had a place in the new collections. There were three subjects which were of particular appeal. He studied the development of the London Penny Post from 1680 when William Dockwra produced the first penny postage stamp. This was the first city post to be organised and operated on sound commercial lines providing an excellent service at a reasonable price, it became the model on which most other city posts were founded. The detailed precision, the punctilious sense of duty on which the success of such a venture rested, had immense appeal to a man of broad vision who had been trained as a chartered accountant and whose success as an organiser had brought such outstanding benefits to his country.

Perhaps it was the discovery of letters of his ancestors written in Canada in the eighteenth century that first fired his interest in the foundation and growth of the British Postal Service in North America. When the recent work* on the American Colonial period was written, Mr. Glassco read the manuscript and produced a list of additions and amendments based on his own research.

During the compilation of the fifth volume of the Encyclopaedia, he provided a great deal of valuable information about the early handstamps of Canada and the Maritime Provinces, and the new approach to this complex subject is the result of discussions with him.

From this collection, it was an obvious step for him to study the British Consular Postal Service which was the natural development when, in the nineteenth century, the United Kingdom provided over half the overseas communications in the world, both on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of America and over the two great trade routes to India and the Far East, Australia and New Zealand. As the evidence provided by his collection concerned both postal routes and rates it had to embrace that fascinating aspect of nineteenth century postal history, the privileged rates charged on their letters home to British soldiers and seamen serving overseas.

From this commentary, the reader might suppose that Mr. Glassco was a full-time collector, but this was far from the truth for he had the facility of putting more into the day's work than most of us can put into a week. In addition to numerous active directorships, at the time of his death at the age of sixty-three, he was president of both the Brazilian Light and Power Limited and Transatlantic Fund Inc. of New York. Perhaps he will be best remembered in Canada for his successful chairmanship of the Royal Commission on Government Reorganisation, whose 1962 report has borne such great fruit, the suggestions already adopted having produced a great saving in government expenditure, better public administration, and improved public services.

He was certainly the complete collector.
