Another difficult series of cinderellas to sort out. I've seen a part sheet of English "World Vision Canada" stamps. And some matching French versions. These are rouletted. I also have some stamps that are smaller and in a similar style as the one shown by Alan, but are perforated. Unsure if they were from Canada or USA. None of the stamps or sheets are dated, so this will require finding cancelled specimens, or stamps on cover. One of the sheets I have is hand dated 1986, so they are probably from that decade. |

The basket-ball stamp is now listed as #37 in that series in the Field Guide 2nd edition. Total of 41 stamps seen in this series, of which 3 remain "unknown", i.e. the images were so low resolution it was not possible to read the text.

112 years ago today the Galt Horse Show was in full effect.
A circular cinderella attests to the fact that it was "The Greatest Open Air Horse Show in Canada".
The city of Galt, located about 100 km west of Toronto, was founded in 1816 as the settlement of Shade’s Mills.
It was later renamed after John Galt, the Scottish novelist and Commissioner of the Canada Company.
In 1973, the city was amalgamated into the city of Cambridge, Ontario.

A cutout of the 12p QV from the souvenir sheet is listed in the 2nd edition of the Field Guide to the Cinderella Stamps of Canada as a similitude (#cc7503.11) in the forgeries chapter, with a CV of $5. The sheet was included in the catalogue for the inaugural launch of the catalogue in 1973.

An American coupon, produced for the World Stamp Expo Washington 1989 Posted here, as an interest, to prove Canada had a Booth at the show. Unsure if Canada produced any other ephemera for the Expo.  |

I don't believe this label from the Third Canadian Philatelic Exhibition, held in Montreal on October 5-9, 1925, has graced this thread yet (except for the portion that is cindycan2's avatar).  |

I came across this part sheet of Quebec Federation of Fish and Game Associations conservation bird stamps recently.
There are 14 different stamps in the series.
Catalog numbers cc4700.12-25 in Field Guide to the Cinderella stamps of Canada, 2nd edition
(though only types 12-15 are illustrated in the Field Guide).
12) Scarlet Tanager
13) Pine Warbler
14) Baltimore Oriole
15) Rose-breasted Grosbeak
16) Song Sparrow
17) Robin
18) Bluebird
19) Golden Crowned Kinglet
20) Brown Thrasher
21) Starling
22) Bobolink
23) Meadow Lark
24) Cardinal
25) Winter Wren
They were issued as a sheet of 25 (5 x 5) in the following configuration:
16-14-15-17-13/18-12-19-20-21/22-23-24-25-15/14-13-17-16-19/12-18-20-25-22.
I suspect they date to the early 1960's.
Has anyone seen one of these on cover so the date can be definitively established?

Got some more deets? Approximate era? Sorry Collin, I came across it looking for the Conservation labels. Had trouble finding it again. Looks like a conundrum wrapped in an enigma. I always thought I had a conservation stamp in my collection. I cannot find one, nor any on the internet at all. There doesn't seem to be many retained from whence they came. Perhaps with the F&G Label, ask the webmaster ? www.dickkeiser.com/results.asp?category_1=Stamps&category_2=Canada&category_3=Fish+%26+Game |

Got some more deets? Approximate era? Quebec Federation of Fish and Game Associations first stamp (salmon) was issued in 1952. Here is more information from an article in BNA Topics (#135, page 105, May 1956). |

Thanks for that...too new for me, so I can safely skip it. Nice to know more about them, though.
