Cut Corners, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Philippines

<edit> changed title to help me remember what I've posted. :)

I am blessed to have grandfather's 1850-1930+'s stamp collection and only recently obtained the binders with all the cut corners. My sole focus, until now, has been on the US collection. I don't even own an international catalog, but shall be looking. In the meantime, wanted to share some of my "treasures". The embossing and colors are delightful. Anything you can tell me in terms of numbering and values is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Honduras

Albeit US postage... and yes, I know these are in the back of my Scott Specialized.

Philippines

and here's a Canadian what's it? Others have suggested that 2 denomination embossed are pretty rare. Is it an error?

5c blue is U27- $55.00 mint
second page:
1903
U17 1.50
U18 amber paper 12.00
U20- blue paper - 12.00
U21 manila paper 20.00
i need to do something else, but these are all in the Philippines section of the US scott specialized, in the envelopes section.

I know nothing about these nor do I have any information to impart....but they are absolutely delightful.

You are very lucky to have inherited such great albums.

Thanks for showing us.

You certainly are...
yuo are caretaker of some lovely material.

I also think Grandad, was lucky to have you share his passion.

Thanks, there's a whole lot more. I'll put up a Canadian thread when I get it all scanned.
SV, I thank you for the Philippines pricing <tho I did note I have that information....>
along with Cuba, Canal Zone and other's yet to be posted.

Hi bfranton,

The Canadian 2 denomination embossed is 'U41'. The 2c red (die 3) and 1c green (die 5) embossed on a #8 envelope. Issued in 1931.

The 2009 Unitrade catalogue for Unused is C$2.00, and a used is C$5.00.

Barb, I saw your post.. I was just helping out. And it was for my own curiosity.

And I'm very certain there are others who also appreciate your help...:)
Just didn't want to burden anyone when I did have access to it. Thanks again Daryl.

And why, you suppose, the used more valuable than unused on the Canadian? Or did I read it incorrectly?

Barb, You make me smile..

as for the Cdn. As you have found out by now, some stamps are worth more used then unused. It all has to do with scarcity.

Ah... well then I'd be wishing both of us an inverted "jenny :) "

Barb thank for posting that Lincoln cut square. It is super.

You have a fantastic collection of the cut squares bfranton.

It would certinly appear that your grandfather had a great love for these.
