I've been looking for this uncommon or rare slogan cancel--the "British Empire Exhibition"--and just got it.

Thought I'd share it and see if there was a similar Canadian slogan cancel too of this time?

It is #133 stamp and the cancel is PS5a.

Great cover Tommy. You don't see those often.

Checkout this ebay listing ... sold at $25.00 and the British Empire Exhibition slogan cancel from Newfoundland is on the back as a receiving mark rather than on the face of the postcard:

wt1,

That is fascinating and I would have napped that one if I could have.
As Bujutsu noted -- I've been looking for this one for some time...seen a few
And there are two variants, based on (1) the distance between the "B" and "E" and (2) date of usage.
The latter one was used between Jan 7, 1924 and Oct 31, 1924 and has a 20mm gap (the link you posted and mine are this type--slightly more valuable at $90 value per Walsh/Butts 2014.)
