S. Allen Taylor bogus issues as noted in wert's link to the Frajola site. There are several minor varieties of the issue.

Taken from The Arthur Salm Foundation, Report No. 4, "Labels Purporting to be Stamps" found at the Collector's Club of Chicago link below:


Quote:
BELL'S DISPATCH - MONTRÉAL: Recorded ca. 1864; bogus issue created by S. Allan Taylor (q.v.); printed in various colors on yellowish paper, and inscribed 'BELL'S DESPATCH / CONCORDIA SALUS (within an oval framing the seal of the City of Montréal) / MONTRÉAL (within a ribbon) / CENTS' with an encircled '2' in all four corners; representing a non-existent Canadian local post.
