Did you know the Canadian province of New Brunswick issued 11 postage stamps?
In 1851, New Brunswick released its first set of stamps as a British colony.
The 1 penny and 3 pence stamps from 1851 were printed by Perkins Bacon in London and featured a Chaloner Arms-style heraldic motif and later, a portrait of Queen Victoria.
The 1860 issue introduced stamps with images such as locomotives and steamships — an unusual and popular choice among collectors. The 5 cent stamp featured a train, making it one of the earliest stamps in the world to depict a railway.
New Brunswick changed from pence to cents in 1860, which is reflected in their stamps.
After confederation with Canada in 1867, New Brunswick stopped issuing its own stamps, and Canadian stamps became standard.
New Brunswick’s stamps are prized by collectors for their classic designs, rich history, and ties to early Canadian philately.
