Bent perf pins were very common. I am more suspicious when the holes are straight!

There is a new article on Stamp Smarter entitled "Canadian Postage Stamp Line Perforation Gauge Measurements" which might be of interest to some.

Early American Perforating Machines and Perforations, by Winthrop S. Boggs is still an excellent reference. Originally published in 1954, it was reprinted by Unitrade in 1982. While it concentrates on U.S., the same information applies to early Canadian stamps.
