Item Description
The item in this listing is a single mint, hinged postage stamp issued by the post office of the Dominion of Newfoundland in 1887. It has a face value of 2 cents and shows an Atlantic cod.Please see scan for condition. Scans of the reverse available upon request.
Prior to 1949, Newfoundland was a separate Dominion of the British Empire, co-equal in many ways with the other dominions including Canada. An economic collapse in the 1930's, in addition to declining fish stocks that formed the backbone of the economy, led the British to find another solution to Newfoundland's governmental crises. To this end, Newfoundland became Canada's tenth and newest province in 1949. According to reliable sources, the legal framework relating to Canadian acquisition of Newfoundland did not demonetize Newfoundland stamps, so these are technically still postally valid within the Canadian postal system. Whether anyone would want to use them as such is another matter entirely.
