Show Us Your Classic Canada Stamps!

I believe it is OG, but possibly "sweated". The singles are NH

Just picked up an elusive XF/Superb Jumbo Mint 111 (possibly NH) this past weekend. I will forgive the bent perf because of the price I paid (less than $60). Huzzah!

As long as we're showing stamps with perf creases, let me put this one up. I've been looking for a long time for a 2¢ with good centering. Found this one - but with a perforation crease mid-way down the left perforation tip on the top. Probably could pull it off without anyone caring, as it would still be big enough, but will just leave it as it is.

For now, it will do.

Interesting frame extension noticed on the lower right vertical frame line

yes. I only noticed it when I blew up the scan to post it.
I'll have to see if it is a known plate position.

Good Morning! I just received in the mail from the UK (Sandafayre) a really clean classic Newfoundland collection. I had never bought anything from them before and I so when I saw this collection I "bid" the lowest amount, about 10% SCV, and surprise, 6 weeks later I got an email saying I was the high "bidder"! So I thought I would post images here and ask some questions.

Has anyone here purchased from Sandafayre? What was your experience? This lot seemed really reasonably priced, much more than the others I saw.

I've bought other page lots before with the same types of pages. Can anyone tell me what year and what publisher did these? I really like the stamp info on the facing pages.

Finally, I'm not the best with some of these early stamps. Looks to me like Scott/Unitrade #1, brown/violet thick porous paper with mesh, #15i chocolate thick paper, & 19 reddish brown thin hard paper.

Anyway, thought I would share.

BTW - what looks like a flaw on the 15i is a fleck on the scanner

Southpaw, have you received this collection yet? I hope it exceeded your expectations!

A few more I plucked out of the last collection

Does this qualify as a classic? It's Scott CLP1, issued Aug. 24, 1918.

Nice stamp:



Unitrade #9ii

Here are my latest...

#8


#4 Forged
A specialist in canadian stamps told me at the very first look at the stamp that this one was a forged stamp probably (which is still to be confirm) from Erasmo Oneglia (1853–1934) who was an Italian printer, born in Turin, who was also a successful stamp forger in the 1890s and early 1900s. Ask Google...
Yes, I will get a certificate...

Definitely a forgery. The bottom 3's are too perfectly lined up, while on the original, they are slightly oriented with top looking towards center of the stamp

Hi Brian - I did receive it and was overjoyed! Obviously I could not inspect the back of the stamps but I found it was one of the nicest out collections I've come across. None were stuck down, hinges must have been Dennisens and came right off. The scans you see are mine.

Gilles le Timbre : also, the number "3" are "tall" compare to a regular #4
