BC British Columbia Postal History. A "modern" and marvelous collection of 119 covers, all postmarked 2014-2018 from Post Offices across the Province. What makes this selection so enthralling is that these covers were all made a by a collector to feature new "Retail Centre" Post Offices only, with many Post Office names we have never seen or heard of before! While we can't name them all here, some notables were "Mt.Lehman Center P.O. Great Canadian Dollar Store", "Seven Oaks P.O. Sheffield Express", "High Street P.O. London Drugs", "Bainbridge P.O. Burnaby", "Ocean Grove P.O. Campbell River", "Tyee P.O. Campbell River", "Askew Creek P.O. Chemainus", "Blue Mountain P.O. Coquitlam" etc. There is very little recorded on these modern postmarks, so much of what is out there is unknown. Many of these modern Post Offices are only open for short periods, or have their P.O. hammers switched out regularly. A great opportunity for the BC postmark hound. Estimate =
