First Day Covers FDC - 1995 Manitoba 125th Anniversary Stamps
$5
I am selling a 1995 Canada Post Manitoba 125th Anniversary Official First Day Cover in excellent condition. A collectible Official First Day Cover (FDC) issued by Canada Post on July 14, 1995, celebrating the 125th Anniversary of Manitoba entering Confederation (1870–1995). This is a pristine piece for philatelists, history buffs, or anyone with a connection to the "Keystone Province."
Item Details:
* Subject: Manitoba 125th Anniversary.
* Issue Date: July 14, 1995.
* Cancellation: Official "Day of Issue" postmark from Winnipeg, MB, featuring the provincial Bison shield.
* Stamps: A block of four stamps. The vivid design is a collage representing Manitoba’s diversity and economy, featuring a Black Brant rocket (aerospace), a York boat (history), a hydroelectric dam, wheat fields, and a folk dancer.
* Cachet (Artwork): A striking photograph of the Manitoba Legislative Building, highlighting the famous "Golden Boy" statue atop the dome.
Condition: The envelope is in excellent vintage condition with sharp corners, clean edges, and no address written on it (unaddressed).
Historical Significance: The reverse side of the cover features an informative bilingual text outlining the history of the province. It touches on the Red River Colony, Lord Selkirk, the Red River Resistance led by Louis Riel, and the 1870 Manitoba Act. It beautifully describes Manitoba as a "marriage of contrasts."
Perfect For:
* Stamp Collectors (Philatelists) specializing in Canadian provinces or 1990s issues.
* Manitobans and expatriates looking for a piece of provincial history.
* Teachers or historians interested in the Red River Resistance and Louis Riel era.
Comes from a pet and smoke-free environment.
