Rod, let me further point out that the blue cancel on your card is a Globe receiver cancel. The postmark is actually visible under the Jubilee. Dated July 27 1897, it is a blind cancel (little ink, but left a nice impression in the card) no doubt from Britannia Ontario, where the card was addressed from.  |

Yes, James, I noted the CDS I couldn't read it, so left it be. Thanks for the explanation, seems strange to have a receiver placed on the stamp? |

Sundry Markings on Canadian Stamps. (I was going to post a page of Canadian Parcel Cancels, but they look vulgar) 2c appears to be the common impost, at that time.  1935 Scott 217B Booklet Pane CV $55 / $55  |

Hi Rod, These are listed in the Standard Canada Precancel Catalog. I have the 5th Edtion, small pamplet style book, not very pricey -less than $10. You have: Montreal Style 6 - valued at .20 on the 1c Yellow Admiral Quebec Style 3 - valued at .25 on the 1c Yellow Admiral The smaller towns, scarce styles of precancel and error in the overprint are valued highly. |

I bought mine at a Local stamp show for $9.95 CDN. Our dollar is on par with the Aussies. If you'd like me to scan any page for you, let me know. The catalog is divided into two sections. The early Queen Victoria bar style precancels and the later ones sorted by town name.

Saskatoon Stamps is offering $600 - $3000 per stamp for these kiosk stamps sold in Canada between 2012 - 2013. In case you might have one in your collection or seen one around, it might be a good chance to cash in.

WoW wonder what the deal is with that? I bought these just because and now the price seems to be crazy. If I remember I paid about $20 for each set.Suppose limited available so price crazy right now. I'll keep them anyway.

Wow again! canadianphilatelist must also be saying "WOW", he was the source for many of us for the first issue basic set of three. He had access to a vending machine so he gifted a number of sets to those of us not so fortunate as to be within range of a machine. But looking at those prices, I'm guessing the higher rates will stay out of my collection for a very long time ... ha ha Ryan |

A member of my club in Barrie has a complete set of these, which I believe he's now donating to the Greene Foundation. They were thrilled at the gift apparently. Sorely lacking in the modern material.

It's the 5th end break at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, and I happened to come across this stamp in my album:  Those old corn brooms sure look odd, especially given the controversy over brushes this year. Mark |

It's the 5th end break at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, and I happened to come across this stamp in my album: Ah, old-timey curling - I love the "SLAP SLAP SLAP" you used to get back in the day. Curling Canada's YouTube page has a great selection of old footage from previous Briers (Brier = men's national championships, Tournament of Hearts = women's). By 1961, the game was starting to look a bit more modern with long sliding deliveries - some guys used that, some still were releasing the stone in the circles. Have a look back to the 1952 Brier footage to see one old dinosaur who still had a standing delivery! Just like golf with its big differences in the modern game (especially drive length and speed of the greens), this old curling looks vastly different for those of us who watch it today. Draw weight back then equals a massive takeout weight today. ha ha My home town of Calgary was the host in 1961, so I like the views of the city as it once was. Ryan |

I note the shoulder putter, is soon to be outlawed (tick)
I was just watching the Women's Australian Open, and at tee off, the Caddie is allowed to stand behind the player,
and sight / correct the players stance ? Thought that a bit odd.
Congratulations to the Japanese Lass that won. A cracking display. -7 on the last round.

Cool video Ryan. Who knew I had the slide technique of former provincial champions!  I also completely forgot about the old Macdonald tobacco logo, or even how it was the Macdonald brier tankard. Lots of old memories from the first frame. Times sure have changed. |

Of course I'll probably at some point go through and move them again as I'm quite certain some belong in other years.At the moment they will reside here.

What was (is?) the use of the precancel warning strip? I did a search and found plenty of examples, but I could not figure out their actual use.

For anyone interested.. this stamp and other higher value definatives are still sold on Canada Post website for face value. Better pricing for what is out there on auctions sites.

Canada December 4, 1930 - 20c Harvesting panel of 4. Somewhere out there are another 20,999,996 of these. As a result of the change of the postage stamp contract of 1st April, 1930, the Department required a new series of stamps of the higher denominations. The policy of depicting representative phases of the character of Canada was continued in the designs for this series. View of the Canadian prairies, showing contemporary, grain-harvesting by tractor, with grain elevators in the background. This design emphasizes the importance of agriculture in Canada's economy.   |
