I bought these three versions decades ago and have just noticed a nifty thread of ink. I wonder if this is consistent with this stamp - Unitrade (Scott) #294. The other varieties are clean, all around. Does any other Canadian collector have something similar? |

Just had a look at my three versions and the frames are all a clean white. No mention of any varieties for this stamp in my Darnell catalog. |

Hans Reiche's booklet on Canadian engraved stamp plate varieties is not authoritative, some issues are heavily researched and most are not, but there is no listing for any varieties on this stamp. Robin Harris' books on definitives start only with the Elizabethan issues, unfortunately - this one is a couple of years too old. But when the day comes that I finally get my piles of stuff organized enough to look at all of my copies, I'll certainly be keeping my eye out because I like this sort of stuff!
