What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

I was not thinking of adding blocks to my Canada Revenue collection but since I was missing an example of this particular 1915 George V War Tax stamp these 4 mint never hinged ones were hard to resist. The Van Dam catalogue number is FWT11a. The red X is a precancel. I had thought when bidding that I would break up the block to recover the cost but now in my hands it would be a shame to do that.

As I build on the Canada Revenue collection I was surprised to see how high the face value was of some of the early Excise Tax stamps. These 2 used copies arrived today. I rather doubt I will look for mint of these expensive revenue stamps. The Van Dam numbers are FX93 and FX94 and were in use from 1934 till 1948.
