| Comments |
Canadian dairy tokens printed on paper are uncommon — most milk issuers used aluminum, vulcanite, or cardboard. A paper issue in red suggests a low-cost, high-turnover local arrangement, likely printed by a small job shop rather than a specialist token manufacturer. Charlesbourg Ouest was a distinct municipality west of Quebec City until its amalgamation into Charlesbourg in 1977, which helps bracket when issuers operating under that geographic designation were actually active.
No central registry governs these private dairy scrip pieces, so documentation depends almost entirely on survivor copies reaching collectors.
