It's not a really great looking cover but it is period and it is all correct with the Ottawa Position 9 Perfin, along with the Ottawa Office return address and postmark.

These covers are rather difficult to come by as I guess most business mail envelopes are destroyed even if the correspondence is kept. They are one of the things I am constantly keeping an eye out for but rarely find. I am a little curious about the total postage on the envelope though, as I think the first class rate was still four cents at this point and I am not sure why the extra penny was added to the four cent coil.

I thought that I would post it because it is just one of those modern (relatively speaking) items that one doesn't often see.
