Canada 35, 36, 37 And 41? ID Please

I have 4 Canada stamps. I am going to go out on a limb and say what I think they are. Could someone confirm or correct, please? Thanks in advance - Jeff

In order I called the Scott 23 (torn), 24, 37, 37c

1870-1897 Queen Victoria Small Queen. Thats about all my very short experience can dig up unfortunately!

I doesn't look like yours has a '1' at top centre middle?

Numbers are 35, 36, (37) or (41). The 20 numbers are the large queens, half again bigger than these. 37 and 41 are very difficult to tell apart in used condition in a picture and as to shades??? You will have people arguing about that until they turn blue in the face so I won't touch it. Always worthwhile to check perfs on small queens - finding the 11 1/2 x 12 is worth it.

Thanks for the information all. They are perfed 12 all the way around and I will have to have my wife recheck colors on the 37 and 41 (I am too colorblind), but I changed the 35 and 36. Thanks again all. I changed the thread. - Jeff

I have a question if you guys dont mind :) I have several of these as well, only I was using a "White Ace perforation gauge" made in US. Am I correct by saying this is the wrong gauge to use while measuring small queens? I must admit I found myself very excited finding one of my 3c small queens to be 11 1/2 x 12, but then read into it and they actually require an "instanta" gauge? (pardon my ignornace if its only close to the actual term!) Thanks guys!
