Hello! I recently bought a large box of unchecked stamps and found this one among the bunch. It certainly is... interesting. I was curious about both its history and its worth. Most importantly, why the swastikas? I couldn't find it in Scott, and auction sites list it totally incorrectly. Someone is selling a full envelope for 800$ but ya right.
Seen cut square 2c Scott #U9 (1924) for $2.94 (Unused cover $14) Unaware of 3c surcharge. Guess: Swastikas, at that time used as sign of good fortune / (1929)
Would have been helpful if you offer the links from your research Auction sites etc. Help us to help you.
Quote: Swastikas were used as a sign of good fortune for thousands of years.
Before someone gave it a bad name, it was just another symbol like a roman key. I am attaching two photos (scanner not working) of a few popular private Canadian airmails, CL7 and CL8.
