CA-P4

Wheat field near Brandon, Manitoba. A common scene at flatland with farm house surrounded by trees to block wind. Thanks AlliKat.















Many stamps were used to pay the postage. A 54-cent La crosse stamp and two P-value stamps were used. Also, two low value definitive stamps, 1cent bookbinding and 2cents decorative silverwork, were added. The machine cancellation is not clearly printed. So, two handstamped box stamps with 5-straight line were used to cancel the stamps.
