Manitoba Postal History. The "King Edward", MB Post Office. An enticing group of 5 covers / cards, all sent to or from the King Edward P.O. 1909-1914. The P.O. open from 1908-1915 was located at 1630 Portage Avenue in Winnipeg and in 1915 (Jan 1st) the P.O. became of Sub Office of Winnipeg (eventually closed in 1926). The postmarks included in this lot are 3 examples of the split ring, plus both the EARLIEST and LATEST known dates of the "duplex" cancel. Note, at time of publishing of the Catalogue of Canadian Duplex Cancellations, Cloutier only recorded two known examples of this postmark (these two). An interesting an specialized holding! Estimate =
