Anglo-Saxon

Standard front

Song Back 4 inscription ii

Song Back 4 inscription iii

WLS-E06 Type I

Henry Gates, in his work "Canada: Patriotics, The Wilson Series" refers to a single variety of this envelope, which he designated "Anglo Saxon".

The envelope is denoted by Gates as E-1. That variety came with Printer’s Imprint “C” on the front of the envelope, the lion with one eye open, and 7 red stripes on the American flag, features common to all the varieties found to date. His envelope variety had a plain back.

Additional variations of this envelope are denoted here as E-2 & E-3. These share the features of E-1, other than coming with Song Back 4, with back inscription type ii (E-2), or type iii (E-3).
