Intact 1942-1945 period Oak Bay Hardware receipt book listing all the sales that required War Tax or Excise Taxes to be paid. Most of the records are for clocks or vases, including the sales price. On each page, opposite the record of the sales are affixed the appropriate number of federal tax stamps required to pay the tax. The affixed stamps are cancelled by a violet "Crown and CANCELLED" roller, an "OAK BAY HARDWARE" straight-line cancel, a 3-line "OAK BAY HARDWARE CO. - 2213 Oak Bay Avenue – OAK BAY BC" cancel or pen ccancelled. Hundreds of stamps in total. A great intact example of how these stamps were used in period. Not many books like this survive. Estimate
