BC British Columbia postal history. Retreat Cove, BC - November 16th 1908 split ring cancel on RPPC (real photo postcard) to Shortreed BC (note some sore of "white-out" has been applied the addressee). The Retreat Cover P.O, located on northwest Galiano Island was originally located in John Shaw’s store and only open from 1904-1923, making it one of the tougher find cancels from the Southern Gulf Islands. Of equally interesting note, is that this cancel is on a striking real photo postcard featuring the one (of many) mishaps of the Steamer Iroquois being stuck on the rocks near Nanaimo. A great item for the BC postal historian. Estimate =
