Here are two interesting first day covers from Canadian Bank Note Company (CBNC). What is interesting about these first day covers is that the stamps on them were not printed by CBNC.


British American Bank Note printed stamp on CBNC FDC.


Ashton Potter printed stamp on CBNC FDC.

Interesting. I have a CBN First Day Cover for the three 1976 Olympic stamps, SC#s 681-683, and you are right! They were printed by Ashton Potter. Odd.

I am guessing those are private FDC's created by an individual who worked at CBNC and used company stationary.

It is interesting that they show Canada 479 which was the first BABN printed stamp in a long time since 1934 and Canada 518 which was the first printed Canada AP stamp.

Not so sure, BeeSee
Mine has a nicely engraved card inside which reads,
'This First Day Cover is sent to you with the Compliments of the Canadian Bank Note Company, Limited, Ottawa'
