Canada, Newfoundland, Grand River Pulp & Lumber Co., Limited. 5 Cents. Circular vignette of lumber cutting. Black on tan paper. No. 1820. While this issuer is listed in Charleton, the denomination is not. Choice Uncirculated. Established in 1900, the Grand River Pulp & Lumber Company operated a mill at Hamilton Inlet at the mouth of what is now the Churchill River. The company was owned by investors from Nova Scotia. The firm was granted fifty-year leases on property in Labrador. Redeemable in goods or currency, these notes were probably issued in the early 1900's. We are aware of a 2014 auction realization of $2,500 for a set of five different denominations.
