The period 1868-1890 was one of rapid expansion of postal services in Canada. The corresponding increase in the number of post offices created a demand for equipment and cancelling instruments which the Post Office Department was unable to meet. Local postmasters were authorized to make their own instruments and got busy doing so. The result was a plethora of designs of all types, many of them described as “fancy”. Soft cover Perfect Bound. 158pp, profusely illustrated. An about Fine copy - bright, clean, unmarked. Ships by inexpensive Canada Post Lettermail -$6.00 to$8.00. If Tracking is needed postage will be more.
