BC British Columbia postal history. The early Oval Coastal & Inland steamship markings of BC. A seldom seen and uncommon duo of markings on a pair of Edward VII postcards. The first being a strike of the "Vancouver & Skagway RPO, Str Amur" 1906 on a Fort Simpson BC postcard sent to Brockville, Ontario. The second card features a 1909 strike of the Penticton & Okanagan Landing RPO, tr. Okanagan (ship) sent to Similkameen with the view side of the postcard actually being a view of the ship (SS Okanagan) which carried the mail. A great pair of postmarks which seldom come for sale.
