April 23, 1851 saw the release of Canada's first postage stamp...

[This image is from a prominent Canadian auction firm.]

[Title changed from 160th to 164th. Oops.]

Don't know what you're missing, but I can see that you didn't skip math classes.

My mistake! Should be 164 years.

Can I change the title, or is that a moderator issue?

I was hoping to point out that today is a 'birthday'; the number of years should have also been accurate (darn; that's what you get for doing four things at once and your mind is on something else!).

Your beaver stamp has big wide margins that are bigger than most.
