Hi guys...I was really tired last night looking at this Scott 168...But as Scott says it was printed in 1930 - 1931...But the cancellation on my stamp is July 12th, 1920...???
Am I just stupid or was I half asleep...?

Robert

Robert, you know, the only explanation I can think of is that somebody messed with the cancelling device and entered the wrong year! And now you can go back to your nap!

Hi Wert

It is just a case of a postal employee applying the wrong date on the cancelling hammer. The dates were all interchangeable.

You guys may be correct..An employee screwed up the date..Makes the stamp sort of unique..??

No Way. Postal Employees making mistakes ?#$@ Maybe they are missing something ...

Here are two Small Queens, one cancelled in Winnipeg SP 2 1848 and another from Alexandria OC 15 1869. And then later they released the stamps so that the rest of the people could use them in 1872.
