Canada 1934 Jacques Cartier
400th Anniversary of Jacques Cartier's first voyage to Canada in 1534.

Scott / Unitrade #208i - burr on shoulder (Plate 2, Right, Position 2) - right-hand most stamp (see detail below). (Shown here on constant variety #208iv - wide gutter, strip of 4).

Note this strip of four stamps shown includes the two most right-hand stamps from Plate 2, Left and the two most left-hand stamps from Plate 2, Right, before the larger sheet was separated into two panes (this one actually was not separated!) along the wider gutter (space between panes) strip in the center.


The arrows on top (left to right) point to a) the wide gutter spacing, b) the variety, burr on shoulder and c) dots and cutting lines in the selvedge. I believe the numbering written on the page is from the Darnell catalogue.

Showing the selvedge (selvage) from the above strip of four. I have darkened the exposure on this scan so the vertical cutting lines (also dots) printed can be more clearly seen.



Variety #208iv, the wide gutter between panes (in a strip of four stamps as shown above),
compared to the normal sized spacing between stamps.



Variety #208i, burr on shoulder circled.



Enlarged slightly:

Also on the stamp to the right of the wide gutter is, I believe, an inconstant variety, a stroke above 'N' of Canada.

From the strip of four, third stamp from right.


This variety also shows on this separate stamp, as pointed out.

More to come tomorrow! Stay tuned!

I was not aware of the stroke above the "N" and agree it's an inconsistant variety.

Here is an illustration of a plate variety I retrieved from one of my old auction catalogues.

It is the Jacques Cartier 'beard' variety.

Nice illustration Bujutsu.
That is also called the scarface variety in Unitrade, #208ii.

A used #208i, burr on shoulder variety.

Scott #208ii, Scarface, is from Plate 2, Right, Position 97 (in a pane of 100 stamps).

Here is a block of eight from the lower right corner. Scarface is on the bottom left stamp as indicated by arrow.

All scans are from the above posted block of eight.

Scott #208ii, Scarface variety stamp.



Zoomed in on:

(Scarface looks like he has a false eye too!)

Variety stamp and the regular stamp next to it:

Scott / Unitrade #208iii, Hairline from Hand, Plate 1, Right, Position 89. This one is very hard to see. Variety is on the left-hand stamp of the pair.

A major zooming in:

Thanks for these puzzler.

At first, I couldn't see the line from the hand variety until I saw the last image. It sure is a fine line, but, a variety nonetheless'

can't see it exactly!
Can you point it out please on the major zooming image?

Thanks BlackJag, much better image.

I'll check mine.
