I am selling a Canada Post Official First Day Cover – Canadian Folklore II (1991) Feature Oak Island Mystery in excellent condition. A beautiful Canada Post Official First Day Cover (OFDC) from the "Canadian Folklore: Folktales and Legends" series. Issued on October 1, 1991, this cover features a block of four stamps illustrating some of Canada’s most enduring myths, including the famous Oak Island Money Pit.
This is a fantastic piece for philatelists (stamp collectors), fans of The Curse of Oak Island, or anyone interested in Canadian storytelling.

* Issue Date: October 1, 1991.
* Cancellation Location: Calgary, Alberta (Features a unique western-themed cancellation mark).

Visual Features:
* The Cachet (Art): The left side of the envelope features a detailed map of Oak Island, Nova Scotia, highlighting the "Money Pit," "Smith's Cove," and the "Old Road."
