VANCOUVER/B.C. 10 IX/1922 machine slogan ties 8’ Admiral #115 to Hastings St. Vancouver colour litho viewcard addressed locally. Looks like a contrived item, as the card is m/s dated 10/9/22 (the stamp not issued until 1925) and the dater hub has Roman Numeral month which didn't come into use until the early 1950's, and the 1922 year date looks like 1972. Still interesting though spurious item.
