Canada: Cinderellas

Perhaps, this thread can be renamed with his name to honour him forever? I've seen that on other forums.

That was a great post ! R.I.P. Ron

Thank you very much for your words. I've only a handful of Canadian cindys. My main interest is on my country's (Catalonia) ones. But I also like nice cinderellas from Europe (except for Spain!) and North America.

2nd edition of the "Field Guide to the Cinderella Stamps of Canada" Ref. cc2650.1 -Scouts on Stamps Society International

In the reference catalogue, only one color is mentioned for this cinderella which is Green over a white/creamy paper. I have found 6 more. The design dimension is the same on all labels and all ungummed.



Have you seen those before?I guess they would become Type 1a to g.

2nd edition of the "Field Guide to the Cinderella Stamps of Canada" Ref. cc2695 - Stanfield’s Underwear

New find - Two men wrestling in long underwear - Design is 41mm x 54mm - Appears to be gummed - "Stanfield Underwear" is embossed.



I guess this could become cc2695.3

Musgrove's National Business College, which operated in Ottawa, Ontario from about 1866 until at least 1892 and issued at least three (one, two and three cent) training stamps for use by the students. I only have two and three cent varieties available. They are listed in Drummond as MNB1-3.

I drew a blank.

(circa 600 pages of "green" stamps )

Being printed both sides, wondering if this is a true trading stamp, or advertising.

Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society/Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste

Three more blocks, mentioned in the post above, but in different colours. For Jeanne Mance,  Madame de Bullion and Jean-Baptiste Meilleur. (Misspelling corrected, thanks rod222)

My final lot of Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society/Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste stamps

The first two items, a strip of 5 and a block of 8, fall under the title 'The French Expansion in America'.

The first strip honours Louis-François Laflèche who was a Catholic priest and later a bishop and relate to the time, in 1851, when Laflèche accompanied Métis buffalo hunters in North Dakota when they were attacked by 2,000 Sioux. This would be known as the Battle of Grand Coteau. The Sioux withdrew after two days convinced that the Great Spirit protected the Métis.

The block of 8 relates to the French Roman Catholic missionary Jacques Marquette, who explored the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River in the mid 17th century.  Pere Marquette River is named after him.

The French Canadian Francois-Xavier Garneau, 1809-1866, was a poet and historian and is shown on the next 2 pairs.

Octave Crémazie was French Canadian poet and bookseller and was born in Quebec City.

 Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier was a judge, author and lyricist and along with Calixa Lavallée, musician and composer, produced the original French version of 'O Canada'.

Finally, we have Samuel de Champlain, 1567-1635, explorer, soldier, navigator and cartographer who created the first accurate coastal map of Canada.
