Description
Canadian. C. 1926. An advertising specimen to mark the name change from Dominion Express Company to Canadian Pacific Express along with a move of the headquarters to Toronto. A proof or mock-up copy rarely survives once the new advertisement has been printed, making this a rare and possibly one-of-a-kind piece of Canadian history.
Condition
Very good condition. Double sided. Vertical folds and small bites on bottom edge.
Medium
Printed on thick specimen-grade paper stock.
