Armorial Bearings of Canada.

Unused Tuck Oilette, "Canadian Postcard no. 2552." Interesting because it shows no armorial bearing for Alberta, even though Saskatchewan is included (and the two provinces joined Confederation on the same day in 1905, so there never were 8 provinces as is suggested here -- just 7, then 9.)
