Canadian stamps expert help needed.
Hi
Are there any experts in Canadian stamps here? I have two stamps from Canada, that I can't find in the Stanley Gibbons catalouge. I have SG 249 and SG 252, but they only perforated on the sides and at the top. Does such stamps exist? Bye. -- Michael Bruhn aka Frankie MARP Editor and proud of it - http://marp.retrogames.com/ |

Probably coil stamps.
Mr. Bob Ingraham posted a cover on the 18-9-2003 of the SG249 showing exactly what you describe.

My humble apologies Michael,
I really shot myself in the foot! My stamp collections all use SG numbers except Canada, hence my mistake. Using Unitrade Catalogue, Numbers 110 and 115 I cannot see how either issue could exist with your description.

Bye. ================================================== ==================== Michael: My old SG says #249 and #252 are the 4c and 8c of the 1922-31 issue. The Scott #s are 110 and 115 for those stamps. They could come from booklet panes, but I am not aware of any booklet panes with these denomination of stamps (ie 4 cents and 8 cents). It should be noted that ALL stamps of this issue are known in imperforated pairs (very expensive). Scott 110a (4 c) Imperf pair $1000. ditto (NH) " " $1750. Scott 115a (8 c) Imperf pair $1000. ditto (NH) " " $1750. I do not know about partial perfs though. They could just be regular stamps with the bottom perfs cut off.

"Bob Ingraham" wrote in message ... It's odd how in my experience SE stamps generally are valued lower than full-perf stamps, for they are considerably less common. but I understand that European collectors do put a premium on them. Is this true? I have seen these, and you are right they are valued lower. The reason is that it is hard to verify if they are actually the edge of the pane or were accidentially cut some other way (damaged). At least that is what I surmise the reason to be. cheers, Frank |

Hi Bob,
Would they not be cut in the gutter strips, both horiz and vert? This would result in a nil variance and the stamps described a result of being cut by scissors. I found some French "Sowers" like this, with very large margins you wouldn't think had come from hand cutting. I remain open to correction. I feel if your postulation be correct, Unitrade would have listed them. Rgds | I believe that there were always four panes four each sheet, but I could be | wrong about that. In any event, I'm sure that the 400-stamp sheets were cut | into four panes, which would result in one row of stamps each imperforate at | the top, bottom, left, and right. Additionally, each pane would have one of | stamp with two imperforate or "straight" edges -- known as "SE" at right and | bottom, left and bottom, left and top, and right and top. Stamps with a | straight edge at the bottom would have to come from the left or right top | panes. | Unfortunately, I don't have any examples of SE Admirals, so I don't know for | certain that I am correct in all this. I hope so! |
