I don't collect first day covers. I've said it before and I'll say it again. But I do tend to accumulate those that I think are interesting.
That said, I found this today while at the 'dealer' around the corner from work where I buy my supplies. He rarely has anything I want philatelic, but his supplies are dirt cheap! Place looks like a hoarder's delight. I saw this sitting on top of a pile of stamps in an open box. Kinda neat, so why not!
It's a 1947 First Day Cover publish by the Slingsby Manufacturing Comp. of Brantford Ont., the city where Bell invented the telephone (I know Boston disagrees!). Slingsby was a local woollen goods manufacturer.

Letter found inside.
