Money Order Office Study Establishment

MOOSE explores the wilderness of modern Canadian postal markings from money order office date stamps of the 1920's to present-day numbered markings, including the different office numbering systems used by Canada Post.

The Bull.MOOSE is the regular newsletter of the group, published quarterly in November, February, May and August. Our 17th year began in November 2007. Research and writing has included Canadian MOO, MOOD, MOTO, MOON, POCON and RC cancellation types. Interest also focuses upon sub-groups of markings like those used in postal stations, for special events, errors, particular designs like 'wings' and past initiatives like postal agencies, Staples Shipping Centres and emergency mobile markings. Beginning with volume #17, listings are featured of new offices opened across the country. The scope and collecting interests of the study group evolve with the times. Membership is $8.00 annually.

Two markings from Gjoa Haven, NU, one a 'wing' POCON and the other (earlier) one applied without a date change.
