Not yet roger, but it is good to see another example. Thanks!
Yours appears to be more belowsy than mine, and without the C around the arrow I geuss that knocks the Canadian theory out.

Does yours have a canvas strip , 4" at its widest, at the bottom to give it some shape or is yours more of an envelope ?
