For some reason, I never posted all the Admirals I found in these old albums. Nothing significant here and, like I said, most will be sold or traded or given away but here they are all the same. The Edwards will have to go to.  |

Also, this is Sc. 105, orange yellow, which I thought had an interesting postmark. Can anyone tell me more about it? The cancel is a roller, vertical format, for obliterating stamps on parcels and the like. I am unable to identify the town of use. A fellow named E. A. Smythies published a handbook on these rollers in the in 1965. |

Darrin ( darkormex), that interesting cancel on the 1¢ KGV "Admiral" Issue is a roller cancel and although difficult to read from the image, I would suggest "HAMILTON, ONT STATION A" as the cancellation. If you can get your hands on a copy of E.A. Smythies, Canadian Roller Cancellations 1894-1930 all would be revealed as "STATION A" is not common.
These cancels would make for a great side collection if anyone were interested...
Have fun and happy collecting!

JeffS and stanley64, thank you for the help with this. I see another rabbit hole that I am unwilling to go down but it is interesting to know what this is. I will probably set it aside in my Canada collection as an interesting cancel nonetheless and maybe at a future time explore this a bit more.

Very nice "souvenirs" (postcards), paul1 (Paul) and one will rapidly notice the Union Flag of Canada, replaced in 1965 by our own Canada Flag: In 1964, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson formed a committee to resolve the ongoing issue of the lack of an official Canadian flag, sparking a serious debate about a flag change to replace the Union Flag by our own Canada Flag (Maple Leaf) in 1965.
My late dad participated, through his Newspaper, in the debate - He was proud that Canada had its own flag.
You will see him in this photograph (middle) between PM Lester B Pearson and Provincial PM Louis J Robichaud

Thanks Rene - Judging by their faces, they look very pleased with themselves - perhaps something of importance has been agreed. Glad you found my post and it's content of interest.

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

These Admiral items arrived today. The coil mint never hinged pairs are upgrades to the single used copies I had of each. They are Unitrade 129 and 130 and are die 1. The on piece Unitrade 140 is not the type of thing I normally collect but since I was bidding on the coil pairs I threw a bid on it. I like the slogan cancel 'YOUR POSTMAN SELLS STAMPS' is also shown in French.  |

The first surprise found in the boxes of stuff I acquired today was this mint Unitrade MR2Ci. It will join a used MR2C I recently bought. There were also a few revenues I needed and some mint for postage in the little bit I went through so far.  |

Here's a real beauty that I found in a big box of stamps I bought. Apparently it's rare and desirable. There is a hairline plate crack up and down the left and right sides of the stamp and margins. I also think it is the one listed in Unitrade as 120iii.  |

This is a nice one for Admiral collectors. Look at the crown in the UR corner. The lines are all doubled. This is Reentry position 87LL93.  |

I have around hundred of these I'll send along a few your way.  This reminds me of Swedish Scott 134 (1926) with perf 13 - these coil stamps started out as perf 10 in 1925  Your 1 cent orange Admiral was issued in 1922, roughly around the same time. Could it be that an improvement in dispensing technology triggered a need for finer perforations? My point is that other countries have examples of similar developments - so I would tend to believe that the perforations are genuine for the time period |
