1897 1c Inland Post Card Rate, a Canadian 2c UPU post card mailed from Bonne Bay (on the West coast) on JUL.4.1897 to Grand Banks. Although written in Halifax (datelined June 29th, and message says in part "am heading off to Sheet Harbour for the summer"), there is no indication this card was mailed in Canada and it possibly received a "favour ride" to Bonne Bay, necessitating the addition of the 1c Cabot (a very elusive stamp to find on cover). Back shows a same day "Coastal T.P.O. West" broken circle. Vertical crease, else an interesting and fine card. (Image)
