Canada Unitrade 772i "Broken Harness"

This is the stamp which may or may not have the variety.


Could anyone post a better image of this variety than is in the current Unitrade catalogue. Does it match my specimen? I am assuming for the present that the variety relates to the harness from the second right dog where it disappears behind the rightmost dog, based on Unitrades further description of the of the variety as "black thread",

Unitrade does not list its position on the sheet but does indicates (presumably) that the variety appears on a Plate Block. I have all four corners as Plate Blocks. While Unitrade says it was printed in panes of 50, it does not show how may stamps/panes were printed in the sheet. It is thus possible that I do not have have the variety in my four PBs.

Well it definetly is not the one. It is on the last dog on far right, looks like a black C shaped thread with a loop at top of C over the dogs harness and rear quarter. Cant miss it if you have it.
They did not mention its position at all.

Edited to correct wrong information - The 25/26 catalogue does show a listing for se-tennant 771-772 and a 771i- 772 and in a plate block, but not a 772i in a plate block.

Edit- I believe the pane (sheet) is comprised of 5 per row x 10 rows. No idea of quantity of panes in press sheet.

I have the "black thread" variety.



It appears that the lead rope mentioned by itma is lightly coloured on all stamps and is a constant design.

It would be a helpful start if the correct terminology was used since a harness is the thing each dog is wearing, and the ropes going back to the sled are lead ropes. I still don't know what I am looking at. What is the thread shaped thing supposed to be? Maybe catalogs and other creatures should stop with cute names which tend to be obtuse. Plain talk please. We are not children (?).

BlackJag, thank you for the image.

Thanks BlackJag for your image. It is very clear.

I have a set of the four corner PBs (I made a mistake with my original post's image, missing the upper left corner.) but it appears on none of them exhibit this variety. So it would appear that 772i is a secondary flaw.That raises the issue of how many panes of 50 are on the sheet as printed. Perhaps it is time for Unitrade to include the pane location their designation of positions to include the pane, eg UL20 and LR12, or 4UL32 to Include the plate number., as well Perhaps I've been spoiled as Australia has been my main interest. Admittedly, the Australian Commonwealth Specialist's Catalogue shot themselves in the foot with their official catalogue numbers but the plate number, pane position and stamp position in the pane are all clearly stated in their catalogues. Unitrade is very clear in stating hoe many stamps are in the pane, but very seldom do indicate how many panes are in the sheet.

Thanks for image Blackjag, did not have scanner ready to use. Almost looks like the start of a line drawing of a ducks beak and neck.
