Cheryl can you give us a bit more detail, such as year of posting, maybe an image?
The stamps from Kaulbach island were issued by the Kaulbach Island Proprietors Ltd and authorized by Canada Post as you probably already know.
Seem to recall there was a discussion here about a year ago.

There has been a mystery around the actual owner /creator of the Island Post.
My first clue was yesterday when I was shown in a frame in the main house on Kaulbach Island a cover dated 1972 and on the bottom was a pencil signature (Henry Bowen postmaster)
The people who own the island now bought the house in 1990 and that part of the history of the island is missing on their deed...I can`t post a picture as I don`t have the cover .
Just was hoping some one might recognize the name
re: Can you help with info on this name Henry Bowen?
Yes I have read it...Even the current owners couldn`t add more info...But I`m thinking that the signature is a clue...However it may not be the complete name...When I google the name I get a printer from the states...The stamps did have a US address order form as well as Canadian
