First Day Covers FDC - 1991 Canadian Folklore II Stamps Mystery

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. Item Details: * Series: Canadian Folklore / Folktales and Legends (Set II). * Issue Date: October 1, 1991. * Cancellation Location: Calgary, Alberta (Features a unique western-themed cancellation mark). * Scott Number: 1337a (Se-tenant block of 4). 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." * The Stamps: A se-tenant block featuring four distinct illustrations: * The Money Pit: Depicting the pirate Captain Kidd and the mystery of Oak Island. * La Chasse-galerie: The Quebec legend of the "Flying Canoe" (lumberjacks making a deal with the devil). * The Chinook: The Legend of the White Chin, the warm wind of the Rockies. * Kaujjakjuk: An Inuit legend of an orphan boy and the spirit of the moon. * Back of Cover: Includes a bilingual narrative describing each of the four legends in detail. Why this is unique: This specific cover was cancelled in Calgary, making it a great local collectible, especially given the "Chinook" stamp which is a legend specific to Alberta and the Rockies. Furthermore, the Oak Island map makes this highly collectible for fans of the treasure hunting mystery.
