Probably teens or 20s by the phone number. If it were in the uS, the phone number would have likely become six digits by the late 20s to 1930. (ALTA 6 is a 5-digit type). I have no idea how it worked in Canada though...

If it was before about 1948 it would say Imperial and have 3 stars.

Usually it goes for whatever you can get for it, make sure you put town in the listing. I always search for Kelowna stuff ( and buy a lot of carp I really do not need!!)
