BC British Columbia. A trio of exhibit pages from the Postal History Exhibit "Across the Pacific, Postal Relations between Japan and British Columbia, 1892-1940 - postal rates and routes." This lot which features five items (on three pages), shows examples of mail from BC to Japan 1905-1911. The first page, titled "BC Sawmill Towns to Japan" displays a cover from Eburne 1911 and postcard from Ruskin 1910 to Japan (at their respective UPU rates). The second page titled "Cedar Cover to Shigaken" features a 1905 split ring postcard, alongside a color photocopy of a Vancouver Japanese fishing wharf postcard (of the same vintage). The last page titled "Steveston to Japan" features two Edward postcards 1905 / 1906 with Steveston split ring cancels to Japan. The historic village of Steveston played a vital role for Japanese fishermen who came to Steveston, BC and found work in the vibrant fishing industry. An attractive and historical lot. Estimate =
