About
Welcome to Hugo Deshaye (Philatelist) Inc.
For those of you who do not know us, we are dealers in Canadian postal history specializing in covers, old correspondences, postal history, postcards, stationery, stamps, documents, vintage photography and personal archives.
Hugo is a member of the Canadian Stamp Dealers’ Association; a member and director of the British North America Philatelic Society, serving as director, dealer liaison, and bourse chairman for BNAPEX 2018 and 2026; a committee member of CAPEX 22; a member and director of the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada; and President of the Postal History Society of Quebec. He also holds memberships in the Royal Philatelic Society London, the Postal History Society of Canada, and numerous other societies.
We attend most major Canadian stamp shows, produce regular price lists, virtual catalogues, and special offers, and conduct business year‑round through mail order and private consultation. Our lists are emailed to clients worldwide and posted here on our website.
With nearly twenty‑five years of experience in the postal history market, we are well positioned to help you build your collection or achieve the best results when selling. Many collectors have used our expertise to assemble Gold Medal Grand Award exhibits, and we have placed numerous important collections through our efficient Private Treaty service.
On a personal note, Hugo has been a collector for 40 years and a dealer for 30. He is a Canadian Armed Forces veteran (CWO, OR‑9), married, and the father of two children. His personal collecting interest is “Prohibited Mail” of the 1880s–1930s. His distinctions include the BNAPS Jack Levine Fellowship Award (2019), the Fellowship of the Société d’histoire postale du Québec (2022), the Fellowship of the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada (2023), and the Order of the Beaver (2024).
