Just idling away on a Saturday assembling my Canada collection and admiring this stamp which is considered by many one of the most beautiful stamps. Three so far - need to curb my obsession before I completely run out of money.  |

If I had a vote, I think I would vote for "Bluenose" as the most attractive postage stamp, by a nose over the Penny Black. |

Very nice - definitely one of the all-time beauties - great centering too on the right one in your pic. |

It is a stunningly beautiful and majestic design. Why can they not pull this off anymore. Sigh |

IMHO the Canadian "Scroll set" is as beautiful as any. Always thought the Admirals were striking and the $1 Parliament Building and allegory of Flight are beautiful examples of the fine engraving of the entire set. The Bluenose is the centerpiece of a very lovely set.  |

Stallzer - I agree, looking for a nice copy of the Parliament building stamp to complete the page.
classic_paper - I happened to like the stamp a lot and also because I have kept looking for a even better copy. In addition to expanding and looking for plate blocks/covers, I'm on the hunt for a reasonable "man on the mast" variety .

For those who have not seen a 'man on the mast' variety....  It is the top stamp. |

I have posted this before, but what the hey. I am also one of those people looking for a proper period used cover. Not easy to find. This block is from 1936.  |

Interesting - prepaying 75 deliveries with 75 cents postage in bulk. |

The pictoral sets from this issue thru to the 1946 Peace issue are all great - beauty in both the subjects portrayed and the engraving quality. |
