Cover - Fox River Quebec Cancel.

Hi guys..I have this small Queen cover (not in the best of shape) from 1892 and can not find out anything about the cancel..Has anyone got or seen this cancel on a cover or single stamp..Any info is appreciated.

wert, Fox River is a Post Office that operated in Gaspé, Québec, from 1852/on--00112 (Red: Canada Post Offices 1755/1895, Frank W. Campbell).....googled it and no results so I do not think it exists anymore but the code 00112 remains a mystery to solve.

note: Author specifies "/on" means the office existed until 1895 at least--many still are operating.....numerals 1-to-0 indicate comparative dollar volume of yearly income

The Canada Post records record Fox River as having opened on 6 July 1852 with Jean St. Croix as Postmaster. From 1 November 1923, Fox River mail was handled from the Riviere-au-Renaud post office.

Thanks guys..That helps out a lot.

Welcome wert and thanks jarnick for the add info on this PO in Gaspésie, QC. The date corresponds (1852) to my reference. This is what I call "team work" !

it's Rivière-au-Renard

and renard is the french word for fox

so Fox River is the English name for Rivière-au-renard

You are a good translator, area66.....congrats and you are ""right"" !

note: I am so used to working in French and English that my mind failed to translate Fox River !I am certain they still have a PO.

Rivière-au-Renard is a village in the Gaspé Peninsula, in the province of Quebec, Canada, part of the Town of Gaspé
