The United States issued a 5 cent stamp commemorating the 100th anniversary of Canadian confederation. The stamp was first placed on sale at the United States Pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal, on May 25, 1967. This was the first time a United States first day cover had carried the cancellation from another nation.

I applied the cancellation myself. The handstamp was on an unattended table in the U.S. pavilion.

The US pavilion "Visa". Each pavilion had a visa which could be stamped on visitors' "passports" (week-long or seasonal tickets in the form of passports).
