The Paul N. Barker Collection - First Cents And Scott 16 And 17 Shade Study

Please find my First Cents Consort shade reference collection featuring Scott 16 and 17 printings. This collection is laid out by the printing orders as per the "First Decimal Issue of Canada" book, written by Geoffrey Whitworth in 1966. Fascinating issue and great shades. I am getting older so why not share my collections for other philatelists to enjoy.
Hidden collections do not serve anyone well, and I am only a temporary caretaker for these treasures before I pass them on to collectors of the future.

Jenny100 - thank you very much for taking the time to digitize and share this wonderful collection! Amazing stamps. Chris

Thank you Lars14 for your kind comments on my two collections I posted. Your comments much appreciated. Regards, Paul

All I can say is WOW.

Thanks Wert (Robert) Glad you like the collection. I have always loved the Consorts and the shades. Did you notice the Vinnie Greene cover with his ownership stamp on the reverse? That's a collectable in itself, the grandfather of Canadian Philately's ownership mark.
