This is a promotion card for 6 identical domestogrammes (circa 1974)



I belive this came with the Manitoba Prairie Crocus design.

Did all 12 Floral Designs come in identical packs? Did the Aerogrammes also come in all 12 identical packs?

For the 8 cent ones look at Unitrade #'s UD2 and UD3. Issued in 1973. A set of 12 has the 'a' assigned.

The 15 cent ones are UA34 and UA35.

The 1973 8c domestogrammes were sold in 2 sealed packets A & B each contained
5 provinces & one territory.
UD2 had the Postage/Poste error and UD3 with the correct Postage/Postes

Thank you for the updates! They all relate to the packs of Domestogrammes and Aerogrammes that contained 6 different designs within the sealed packs, and were labelled 'A' and 'B' on an insert within the sealed pack.

My unclear question is regaring these same floral Domestogrammes and Aerogrammes that were sold by Canada Post in 'identical' sealed packs. These identical packs were 6 of the items with the same design within the one pack. (identified by the bottom left of the card)

The image above illustrates the insert, and note the blank space where the 'different' packs have the images printed on the card. The packs that had 6 identical Dommestograms or Aerogrammes within the pack have this blank space on the insert card.

My question is which specific floral designs were sealed into identical packs?

The card above had 6 of the Prairie Crocus, so I am wondering if all 12 floral designs were each issued in identical packs. Can anyone confirm this?

The Webb catalogue does not specify which of the designs were sold in single packs. I would have guessed that each was as the designs are the provincial flowers and I could imaging the fuss if only one or two had been selected for issue in single packs but I have no printed evidence of this.

Have just found the first sealed one!!






I note this is the 'error' first issue, so issued in 1973. I also corresponded with a Postal Stationary dealer, and he recalls the 'Ontario' (above packs) but did not know if any other provinces were available.

Anyone know if other provinces were available?

Both my packs (one unsealed) are Domestogrammes, do anyone know if the Aerogrammes also came in the identical packs?
