I must have overlooked this nice display of Canadian Special Delivery stamps on previous excursions into the SCF database. I'm giving it a bump in hopes that Ziggy will correct the title's spelling mistake and to pass on the following excerpt from the initial volume of the BNAPS Topics journal (March 1944. Vol.1, No.1) in which Walter Pollock praised the first stamp shown, namely, the 1898 10c Canada Scott#E1.




My Scott catalogue is old but the others look like the 1922 Canada Scott#E2, the 1930 Canada Scott#E4, the 1935 Scott#E6 and the 1946 Canada Scott#E11 Peace Issue.

Thanks for the bump and extra info, cynical. Never seen this post.
Reminds me that I picked up one of the 1898 issues up at my own club meeting a week or two ago.
Pretty nicely centred and even has an RPO - TOR(onto), HAM(ilton) & LONDON. Postmarked January 27, 1903.

A gorgeous stamp! I never look at without thinking about the work that was put in to it. Could I get you to also put it on the rpo link below for people who are ticking off rpo's against lists like in Jarrett book.
