Visited a local antique store this afternoon (the wife and daughters were out dress shopping!). This place sells stuff on consignment, and often their stamp material is a little overprice, for my liking.
But I found these two postcards which caught my attention, and was able to wangle a deal.
Both sport very common US stamps, but were postmarked in Canada.
The first canceled July 9, 1914 in Montreal (with a very nice commemorative cancel) has a 1¢ Washington with what appears to be perf 10, with one straight edge (booklet pane?) so I'm having trouble determining it's catalogue number (perf 10s did't come out until September of that year)
The second card caught my attention because of the purple 8 cents due rubber stamp (two postage due stamps had been affixed below the address but have long since been removed - only some gum remains) next to the John Adams #806, was postmarked on September 8 1954 in what appears to be Dorion-Vaudreuil Quebec (now called Vaudreuil-Dorion) sent to Ohio.
