1953 Textile Definitive

On November 2, 1953, the Canadian Post Office issued the 50 cents Textile Definitive stamp to replace the 50 cents Oil Resources stamp that had been released in 1950. The Textile Definitive was in use until 1967 when the Centennial definitives were issued.

Alan Pollock's design featured a bobbin and an old fashioned spinning wheel emphasizing the tradition behind the Textile Industry.
