Does anyone know the history behind this fake?

I don't think there is any history to discuss. Someone with some talent carefully cut and pasted a red maple leaf over the blue stamp. Nice job, though.

They would have made a stunning bi-color series!!







The history of these three is about 5 minutes old. Cutting the oval from a badly damaged stamp and overlaying it onto 3 others to make scans.

The original example looks punched to me, not cut.

The blue stamp is punched. The red center is part of another stamp applied to the back.

If two different coloured plates were used (which were really not used), then there could be the possibility of inverted stamps too. Were not the 1898 Christmas map stamps (85, 86) the first bi-coloured Canadian postage stamps?
