M.V. Chinook II
Other than looking like someone took a bite from the upper left corner, this Canadian card was apparently bought and stamped (Canadian) in Canada then brought to Washington state where it was stamped again (USA) and mailed, with Olympia postmark. So a Canadian stamp is cancelled by an American postmark. Those days were more easy-going. Grade: 4 (but interesting).
