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.

3 sides perf is likely the edge of a sheet.

Not the HVs.

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

Rodney:

The 4c and 8c of that issue were neither issued
in coils nor booklets. Could be a sheet edge
per Frank's posting. (I haven't seen a full
sheet to confirm.)

Better make that not coil, but booklet pane :0)
It would be the bottom centre stamp from BP of 6

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.

These did not come from booklets (booklets were only made for the
lower-value Admirals) but from panes. To quote from my 1998 Unitrade, "Prior
to 1958, most Canadian stamps were printed in sheets of 200 or 400.... The
sheets were *cut* (my italics) into equal panes before delivery to the post
offices."

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!

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.
