Canada: Cinderellas

Thanks for the images Rod, and the reminder about the "Little Guide". Little no more, I'm afraid. I've had to increase the size to 8.5 x 11 inches, as there's now over 12,000 Canadian cinderellas catalogued, twice as many as in the 1st edition. From the scans, here are the ones that stand out:
Voyageons avec Verdon: new one for me. It very closely resembles some "Timbre missionnaire" stamps designed and published in 1949 by Montreal artist Armand Barbeau. I would be surprised if this stamp was not also one of his creations. He produced a series of 144 designs for these "Timbres missionnaires" stamps, so I expect there will also be a bunch in the "Voyageons avec Verdon" series. I did some quick Google searches for who Verdon could be, but really didn't get any solid hits. I would have expected he was some type of priest or explorer, but more research will be required. Incidentally, I suspect Barbeau also had a hand in designing the Soeurs Grises stamps. Specifically, the Soeurs grises #5 in blue was also in the series of 144 Timbres missionnaires (#40 in green).
QUEBEX: new to me. I think this was from a mail and public auction held in October 1979.
Quebec conservation block: nice one, see cc4700 in the Field Guide.
Ste Anne de Beaupre blue: cc4780.2 (ca. 1946).
Societe St Jean Baptist: several examples, see cc3835.
Xmas seals: several examples, see cc4120.
Air mail labels: indeed they are Canadian, issued by the Post Office Department in 1939, in both English and French versions. Interestingly, they were supposed to be affixed to the letter (not the envelope) to remind the reader to reply by air mail. I’ve added a chapter for air mail etiquettes to the 2nd edition.
KF shield stamps: these were from the Sister Kenney Foundation, a US charity.
Notre Dame du Cap: see cc4610.
Canada 82: will be added. There’s also a smaller label I’ve seen.
Canada 84: see cc1345.
Points-echange Cemoi: this is from Grenoble, France.
Macdonald & Tilley: Maxwell house coffee promo from 1972
Wildlife stamps for Christmas: sheet from 1981
PEI horseshoe stamp: see cc3015 from 1909
Douane C1: I suspect this is from France, Canadian customs label were bilingual.

Hi James. Any Canadian cinderellas that are not already in the Field Guide (1st edition) and that haven't been showcased in this forum would be welcome. Just upload some images.

Good morning all
Cindycan, as suggested, here are some scans of Canadian labels which, to me, seem obscure, but you may have seen before. Again, I don't have a copy of your catalogue. A couple have been posted here previously, but these are better scans. Feel free to use any if you can.

The last scan, the 6 labels from Regina, I think is a partial set. I think there's another half dozen and I've seen them in blue as well.

May I also point out this Jozef Tiso label I posted on another thread, which was produced in Hamilton. I did post it but it received no comments. I am still curious about it.

Glad to be able to contribute!
The Bureau of Engraving sramp image area is 54 x 35 mm.
Joseph Tiso image area is 59 x 34mm.

Supplemental to Rods Reader's Digest post, its English language $1 counterpart.

I heartily agree Collin,  but I also understand why Ron included them in his Catalogue,
Kind of a Grey Area, and why not include them for a broader knowledge of the discipline, it definitely has links to Canada through CPR
CPR may have in fact, been the ones having the celebration.
I always support too much info, than not enough.

The Michel Catalogue is a standard bearer in that regard.

It's hard to imagine that bit of paper is going on for 60 years old, it looks and feels mint. 

Just a quick "Did you Know?"
Reader's Digest, Australia, bought out "Seven Seas Stamps" one of Australia's largest and major Stamp companies.
From what I gather, they did not do very well, and sold it on, at a great loss.

As members of this forum know, I'm working on a 2nd edition of the Field Guide to the Cinderella Stamps of Canada. If all goes as planned, I should have some printed books available for the ORAPEX meeting in Ottawa (May 2-3). In the mean time, here's what the front cover looks like. Thought this might be of interest. Try to count how many maple leafs are in there!

1950's Imperial sheet.Picked up at bargain price (in my eyes) $25.

Rod, I take it this is half a sheet ?

frog, I have just been looking around and came across a few of these labels and I was stunned at the prices I saw !! Your $25 does seem like a real bargain after this morning journey !!

It has been suggested that most of the "There'll Always be an England" WWII die-cut labels/stickers were of Canadian origin. There were certainly other Canadian patriotic cinderellas promoting War Savings Certificates and War Savings Stamps, so I would suspect that the two cutouts are also of Canadian origin.
 

Hey Rod! With regards to your Inter-University Transit System stamps you posted a while back. The Vincent Greene Foundation in Toronto has established a study group looking into these items and are looking for material and information.
I've got a post card from them I picked up a while ago requesting items.
It says that if you have any relevant items to contact the VGF at:

library@greenefoundation.ca

subject: IUTS

Here's a scan of the message on the back of the card.

Thought you'd like to know.
