Canadian Excise Stamp?

OK my buddy had recently got a bunch of Canadian stamps and quite a few was Back of book items but I couldn't find this particular stamp in any of my references? Does any of you Canadian collectors familiar with this type of stamp? Is there a scott number for these? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for looking. -Jeff

hello ilovestamps,

For Canadian revenues, the best source of information is ESJ Van Dam. http://www.esjvandam.com/ He's not only a dealer, but the pre-eminent cataloguer of all Canadian material. Another superb source of information and knowledge-sharing is the British North America Philatelic Society's Revenues Study Group: http://bnatopics.org/hhlibrary/news...rs/n-rev.htm More recent newsletters can be had by joining the study group.

Revenues are a constant fascination for me, though I have thus far avoided jumping into the deep end with them. I'm afraid I'd never emerge!

This stamp is a Tobacco stamp. One of the catalog used for them has been written in 1976 by Lee Brandom from BNAPS but never have been updated. I know the catalog is out of print but copies can be found if you are willing to put some $$$.

Checkout Brandom #C-622 at this link for an image of your stamp, which dates back to the Series of 1924:

Wow! Thank you VERY VERY much everyone! I'll pass all this along to him and I'll search some myself and see what comes of it. I'll keep you posted. You guys are awesome!

Your pretty safe with almost ny dated Can revenue catalog since there are not many new additions. I did notice new packs of cigarettes have a duty paid label so that may be something new.

Here is what the United States currently have on our cigarette packs. It's a tax stamp.
