231 CVR   imageWorld War II Salved from the Sea Cover and Return Envelope, a cover mailed from Winnipeg on MAY.25.1940 (slogan machine cancel) to a Soldier in Aldershot, England.

233   imageOriginal Post Office Handstamp from STROUD / ONT. a steel broken circle without indicia, with short wooden handle, a.k.a. a "thumper". Although Stroud is known to have used 4 of these instruments from 1884 to 1926, it would appear that by simple deduction of sheer wear this could be the first one, recorded used from 1884 to 1904. The other three are recorded used from 1910 to 1914, 1914 to 1920 and there is only one strike known of the 4th, in 1926. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (All Scans) (All Images)
