Attached is a Canada 19, showing numerous markings in lower left. I do not have access to plating reference books, so can anyone help identifying this stamp?

The marks I see seem to be associated with the cancelation and not part of the stamp design. I do have trouble with black and dark blue especially in scans on a computer screen so I could be wrong.

I see what you mean Gilles,

To me it look like some ink splash from over inking, but I may be wrong! Or... it is some major plate damage hehe ;)

darth those are stain of very diluted ink or other substance and not part of any plate related problem . I do water color painting and you can see it's drop of something , middle is transparent and edge more dark. It's stain , so the stamps have less value

Will not be surprise they come from the pen they use to write on the cover

that is interesting, from my computer screen they were looking the same color but that would make a lot of sense.

I did use my 50x microscope to get closer look at the apparent pitting on the stamp. I am also including a second copy which seems to show similar "splashes"







Here is the other one (with the dot on nose)

Probably just a messy clean up of the bed or rollers, I rn into something like that when I was a printer, but not as heavy as your stamp Gilles le timbre
