Canadian Cheques And Fiscal Documents

The ebay seller Saxby down in NS has some A.M. Bells for sale. They are newer then that one. I like window shopping at Saxby's.



I just one this auction. By the time I convert from USD to CAD and pay shipping I am looking at $8 in.

I like how it shows the buy out of the Bank of New Brunswick by the Bank of Nova Scotia.

I bought a cheque off a guy from ebay. It has not come yet but we chatted back and fourth online and he seems like he is a-ok. Naturally when I get the cheque in the mail I will give him his 5 stars.

I asked him if I could let him be known on here since he seems to like (or at least used to like) cheques.
His ebay handle is rein*12 and he pops up when ever I search for a combination of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and cheque.

I will send him off an email telling him I gave him a shout out and you never know, we may have a new cheque collector on this forum.

Picked this up this afternoon at Loyalist City

I didn't see any more, but I didn't ask either and they could be anywhere in the store it seems.

He's not going to be at the show tomorrow either.

Adding two large items, especially the Bank of Nova Scotia blank cheque with stubs attached. The Stanfield's Underwear is one of my favourite since I've lived in Truro (a number of times) and the business is a bit of an institution there. The company's history is particularly interesting. I like that the tagline for the business on the document is "Inventors & Originators/ Stanfields Unshrinkable Underwear." The founder of the company, Charles Stanfield was apparently somewhat of an inventor, although by this time his sons were operating the business.

As a writer, I appreciate the accurate placement of the apostrophes in the abbreviation of Newfoundland on the second item The cheque was too large to completely fit on my scanner (legal size) with the stub.

This cheque doesn't have any interesting graphics. What it does have is the distinction of being from a community that no longer exists: according to the last census, Armley has no recorded population and no functioning businesses. So, this cheque is an unfortunate artifact of the decline of rural prairie towns.

Nalaberong, good to see you back on the forums!

Hey Chequer, in the book "Great Maritime Inventions 1833-1950" by Mario Theriault Chapter 2: Convenience Goods, page 35 mentions the adjustable underwear combination by Frank Stanfield. I actually have an old union suit circa 1910 from them.
