Series 24C—Halifax


The Prince’s Lodge, Halifax, N.S.


This Series 24C card is the earliest reported usage of a W.G. MacFarlane patriotic postcard. The July 6, 1902 date is earlier than the date noted in the second edition of Mike Smith’s The W.G. MacFarlane Picture Postcard Handbook 1902–1910. The card has been postally used to Bern, Switzerland, and has a Bern receiving cancellation dated July 18, 1902 on the reverse.
