This is a revenue stamp, with a revenue cancellation. You won't find it in a general catalogue.

So had some more Old Canadian stamps come in the mail:

The first picture is of two 6 cent queens.

The one on the left is the one I posted earlier in the topic and the one on the right is newly acquired. The colour looks red brown but I could do for some help. Also, I read somewhere that the Large Queens are physically larger than the small ones. Is the one on the right larger? Or am I conjuring up images in my head.








Now I also acquired some 1 cent Queen Vics. Again 3 out of these 4 seem physically larger than one of them. I am pretty sure they are all small queens and probably the smaller one has shrunk or something?

I am very new to stamp collecting and have little to no knowledge of the factors that can effect stamp size. Also, I am certain they should be Small Queens as the 1 Cent Large Queens are Reddish brown?





Thanks for your help.

The large Queens or large heads have Six Cents written out across the bottom while the samll Queen 6c's only have Cents written. The large Queens and physically larger also.

What you have is called a Jumbo Margins small Queen.

Thanks puzzler, unfortunately I started another thread on the same topic as I thought no one would notice this.

These are begining to intrigue me, need to get me some large queens :D
