4 Cents

Let's go back to the good old days, the days when one could mail a letter for 4 cents. Yeah, only 4 cents. Today, postage is $1.07. Talk about inflation being out of control! These stamps were issued in 1947, and 1948. The first stamp commemorates the birth of Alexander Graham Bell. Remember him? The inventor of the telephone, back in 1876.
The second stamp commemorates the 80th anniversary of confederation, and citizenship. In 1947, the Canadian government decided to allow any resident, regardless of country of origin, to obtain citizenship.
The 3rd stamp, who is it? Well it is Queen Elizabeth. Issued in early 1948, it commemorates the marriage of the Queen to Prince Philip Mountbatten. The marriage took place on November 20th, 1947. Which is your favourite?
