hi all

i found this flower item last night.
i do not know if it is a stamp or exactly what it is.
it does appear to be cancelled and can see the word california on the side of the paper.
it is larger than a regular stamp.

any help is appreciated.

My guess is that it is merely a cancelled label that was probably affixed next to a postage stamp on either an envelope or postcard.

Wasn't these from British stamps that had a poster stamp along with them? Or those Canadian picture and frame stamps maybe? Just a guess really?

Not from Canada 2004 Picture Postage sunflower issues.


and also not from the earlier issues of these that had an added label attached in the center of the framed stamp, as that label had rounded corners, was thicker (could see shadows) and was smaller in size.



The 'California' looks like it is on the envelope paper, rather than the stamp / label paper.

Could be from anywhere really, cut or torn from some printing of something?

Could it be selvage from either the 2008 sunflower booklet or the 39¢ booklet?


It may just be a sticker...
