For Worldwide Collectors (Long may they endure)
The tricky stamps / Labels one comes across in stamp boxes.

First Up
Canadian War tax Embossed Impressed Duty stamp, Inland Revenue, Beaver.
Remains Unknown
Not in Barefoot, Van Dam, wiki, and ebay, Google.

A favourite tricky

Similar Script searches, may help searching
Libya, Cyrenacia, Saudia Arabia, Syria, Jordan, Bahrain, Egypt, Hejaz.

I used Stamp Identifier (iOS app) and found the Jordanian and Bahraini stamps in a few seconds. It doesn't recognize the Canadian one, either.

Canada, according to what I found online in VanDam listings, it is an embossed Canada Revenue cheque stamp. Cut out from the cheque. Vandam FCH1

Hi rod222. I have a few of these Canada stamps, and other revenues with scans on one of my web pages. www.stamporator.com/SR.html

Thanks Stamporator,
I'd like to buy a set of those from you.

I checked my Van Dam (25th Anniv ed) 1994
Unless I am mistaken, not listed then.

Google searching, I was caught out by Canadian vernacular,
I have always known these as "Impressed duty Stamps"
