image 1910 Norway House / Keewatin Postcard, mailed from Norway House / Keewatin on JUN.24.1910 (broken circle free strike) to Winnipeg, the picture side being a real photo of "Steamboat Docks" in Selkirk, Man. Norway House was located on Little Playgreen Lake, at the north end of Lake Winnipeg. Its post office opened in 1904 in the Territory of Saskatchewan, transferred to Keewatin and then to Manitoba in 1912, so this is dated in the short period between 1910 and 1912 when it was in Keewatin. A very fine strike of a rare postmark, which Steinhart had priced at $600. (Image)
