Looks like Rock in Waterfall Variety. From that small Canada Collection. Similar to Flyspecker.com website, but the stamp on his site doesnt show or mention the left frameline doubling. Could this stamp be from the latter printings? Doesn't seem to be on re-entries.com site either  Close Up  Doubling Upper Left Frameline  Doubling Lower Left Frameline  Doubling Lower Right Frameline  Trodent

Rock? It looks more like a bowling ball! Just saying. Nice strike! Nice variety.

I would call yours a boulder. Here are my two copies of the "Rock in Waterfall". I do see the re-entered frame lines, also.   Mike |

Hi Robert the name of the game is tic-tac-toe. If your playing an expert there is no way to win this game.

Robert, don't beat yourself up. I could not resist the fun shot at the X's and O's as a postal code but some families do write that on Birthday, Christmas and other greeting cards in NS meaning hugs and kisses.
Different parts of our countries/world do call the same game differing names depending on influences in their area. The fact you are located in Canada and call it X and O which is the British name, versus Mike in the USA with the name tic-tac-toe which is the American version of the same game. So you were not wrong, in fact you both were correct. And please dont call yourself that again, you don't deserve it.
We all learn something new on this forum everyday. And in fact you brought to the attention of many members varieties and flyspecks that were previously unknown, and some definetly odd stuff. So carry on and keep enjoying what your doing, it all makes this forum and the hobby more enjoyable over all.
Mike

Hi Robert, The last picture you showed, with dots and lines indicated, points to a short line just inside the vertical frame line. This line is a constant feature and is probably on the transfer roll used to rock in the images to the plate. It can be found on all copies if the ink took to that fine line.

Too bad the issue isn't imperforate. Then you would have a stamp with the ROCK on PAPER needing SCISSORS ;)
