Canada Air
(Edited)
Keeping with the theme of the Canada Goose, today I have a couple of “bird” stamps and one special delivery stamp. Let’s go back to 1946. If you needed something delivered quickly, air mail was the way to go. That being said, 1946 was the last year that Canada actually made an “air mail” stamp. These air stamps were made from 1928-1946. The second stamp was issued in 1955 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the international civil aviation organization (thats a mouth full), an agency of the wonderful UN. The final stamp depicts a Canadian coat of arms, also released in 1946. Which is your favourite?

Canada must be a goose-loving country to have had all their stamps 'goosey'.... That's if there's a word like that... 😁
I loved the one in the middle most.
Definitely a Canadian “icon”. Thanks for looking.
1945 is such a long time, it's really surprising how technology have beefed up things.
A long time ago, oh how things have changed!
Wow bro the history of these stamps is very cool. I never realized Canada stopped making air mail stamps in 1946. My favorite has to be the one commemorating the civil aviation organization, it's such a unique piece man
One learns a lot about Canadian history via our stamps. Interesting. Thanks for stopping by.
Good history bro, it was a pleasure stopping by
Oh nice, I like how you kept it rolling from shots of Geese into the stamps, well played. For me I'd go with the first one, your cover shot on being my favorite one of the three of these. Have a blessed weekend my friend.
Thanks @shoemanchu. Only made sense to show the canadian goose in stamp form. One of my favourite stamps btw.
And your postage stamps are back and there are gooses there too!.... Wonderful to see my @daveks friend!

Colourful stamps. Is Canada famous for goose ? All the stamps are nice, especially the second stamp for civil avaiation
Yes you might say. Often times, the goose is portrayed in various photography and paintings. There is even a famous clothing brand called “Canada goose”.
Ah.. something new Iam hearing for the first time. Should google.
Some more really cool stamps! I wish they would make them like that still, it was an art! Those are really nice! Of course the color pictures win today!
Thanks, stamp art has definitely changed over time.
