WLS-P01 Type I — ex. Larry Paige
This example of a WLS-P01 Type I card shows the use of a 5¢ Jubilee stamp cancelled with a Montreal Flag cancel dated July 26, 1897. The card was mailed to T. Wm. Wilson, 176 Mance, City. The card has a MT JY 26 97 cancel next to the handwritten text “Please leave stamp on this card”. The 5¢ postage was beyond the 1¢ that was required to deliver the card, but appears to have been sent by a stamp collector interested in the new Jubilee issue.
