British Columbia Postal History. The "Oysters of the Island" duo. An attractive pair of postmarks, from Oyster River BC & Oyster Harbour BC, both located on Vancouver Island. The first item, being a split ring postmark on stamp / piece from Oyster River BC 1932 (P.O. open 1928-1941). The second item, a cover with a split ring postmark from Oyster Harbour BC 1900 (P.O. open 1899-1901) sent to Nanaimo BC. The Oyster Harbour postmark is particularly hard to find, as the post office was only open for 15 months under that name before being changed to Ladysmith BC. A tough to find duo. Estimate =
