Thanks Ryan, that looks fabulous, Revenues certainly have come a long way. I don't think I have enough revenues to support that outlay. Thanks for your help on Czechoslovakia as well.

Nice ones Rod! I got one of those medicine stamps in the BOB batch I recently acquired at my stamp club. Though mine has a slight pink tinge to the paper. CV in Van Dam is $2.50 (CDN no doubt). Group also included these mint Postal Note stamps, for use on money orders. Similar in design to Canadian excise stamps, the engraving is beautifully crisp. These are 1932-48 First issue. Later issues were read Postal Scrip.

Buy also include these 1910-26 Province of Ontario Stock Transfer stamps, for use on...you guessed it, stock transfers (and related documents). The set is almost complete, just missing a colour variation on the 50¢ plus the four higher values. Keep looking! edit - just glancing again in the Van Dam catalogue, some of these catalogue fairly nicely. 10¢ – $8.50 20¢ bistre brown – $15 20¢ dark brown – $10 50¢ purple – $30 $1 blue – $20

I don't recall seeing the Postal Note stamps before. I wonder if I've just looked past them, figuring they were excise stamps? I'll look a little more carefully from now on.

Canada Law Stamp 1938-1967 (that's what van Dam says) Engraved by British American Bank Note Company. CV (van Dam) $12 MNH I sure like the look of Canadian revenues - if the day comes when I tire of / run out of things to buy for my Canada MNH collection, I'll have to start getting serious with the revenues. I attended a Maresch auction once and a fairly large inventory of Canadian revenues was up for auction. The pre-sale estimate was $1500 and I had already won enough expensive stuff to wreck the budget for at least a year (got my mint $3 Jubilee and my White Queen, among other things), so I was just a spectator by then. Two guys quickly pushed everybody else out of the bidding and the price kept going up - by the time it got above $5000 the auctioneer had one eyebrow up, wondering what they had missed when they set their estimate on the lot. The lot ended up going for $11,000+ and everybody in the room was wondering what on earth these two guys had spotted in the lot. When it came time to pay after the auction was over, I hung around and the winning bidder would only tell the auctioneer that he had been looking for a good stock lot to build his inventory. Who knows what was in there, goodies of some considerable worth, no doubt. Ryan

Recently added a 2¢ example to the postal note group. Sadly not as pristine as the others, but what the hay! There are a total of 22 denominations in the first issue, so I have a ways to go to complete the set. I should clarify something mentioned in my earlier posting of these. In the first issue 1932-48 not all of the denominations read Postal Note. The 30, 40, 60, 70, 80 and 90¢ stamps did read Postal Scrip. The rest are Postal Note. In the second and third issues, all were inscribed Postal Scrip.

According to "Field Guide to Canadian Cinderella Stamps" After these were discontinued in 1985 all of the remainders of this issue from the one dollar to the fifty dollar values (283 000 stamps) were sold to Bileski in 1987 for a small fraction of the face value. What he bought had a face value of appx. $3.6 million and he got them for $65 000.00. He supposed sold 1700 complete sets and then overprinted the remaining stamps with a whole bunch of diff. things. I'm assuming that when these were being used you couldn't purchase a mint set, so the 1500 might have been an earlier guess as to how many mint sets were distributed by Bileski.
The van dam catalog gives your set a value of $120.00 for NH.

Thanks,i was told they were ex-Bileski at time of purchase but had no other info.Seems everything I touch comes up connected to Bileski when I researched why Liberia was selling high it was deemed Bileski had something to do with that as well.Hope he steers clear of my SPM(or maybe he's already involved in that too)

One way to look at it might be that if it wasn't for Bileski mint copies might not have been offered to collectors. Everything might have just been destroyed instead. And.....he did give us a crap load of Cinderella issues with all the diff. overprints he did on these.
Just looking for the shiny side.

Canada. Revenues. Looking to purchase some form of Revenue ID pages. Would look at new or second hand used revenue pages, Old tatty catalogues, anything, so I can make my own pages.

Froggie, is that 4c Red X Inverted? hard to tell from the scan.

Hey Rod, great revenues. I did not know those Customs stamps came in two sizes, and looking at mine, sure enough, I've two sizes on one page. Will have to keep looking and redo those pages. Live and learn. Should have read the catalogue more closely.
As for Frog's X precancel, I think it is the right way up. The X is smaller at the top - visually balanced - so when it's the right way up, you don't notice it, but upside-down it becomes quite apparent.
It seems to me you posted one a while ago that appeared to be inverted.

On second looks, you seem to be correct James. I looked for quite some time before I could see the difference. If I did have an image of an inverted, it would have been given to me, or borrowed. I only have 1 example of the red X, and it is normal orientation. More gifts from Mr. Frog, plus a smattering of my own. 1868 Third Bill Issue A pensive Queen looking out on her subjects.
