frog, I was just looking at your typewritten war tax, which I suggested might be a provisional. I didn't realize that it was dated 1914. I know you wrote that in your notation, but when I saw it closeup on the stamp, on your photo bucket site, it occurred to me that the Canadian Special War Revenue Act wasn't enacted unit the following year, on March 27, 1915. So, that makes me think that the 'overprint' is possibly a forgery. Don't know for sure, of course, but the dates just don't jibe.
I also wonder how they got that little stamp in the typewriter, unless they did a whole sheet at once.
Hmmmmm!

not that it matters to myself as I like it any which way ,but always wondered if it is a fantasy piece why aren't others floating about?? If I was looking to make fakes I certainly wouldn't make just one.It is definitely a keeper no matter what but holds a lot of questions about it.I love weird stuff.

You seem to have a wealth of reference images.I will be posting that bit of the collection down the road.This is going to be an extremely long thread, we've not even made it through volume one yet.I believe it numbers 14 separate binders right now with much work to be done.If that's not enough I've continued adding to everything even as we go,making some of these posts outdated already.Maybe we should change the title to Crazy Funky Frog's Collection.Thanks for your interest.

...This is going to be an extremely long thread, we've not even made it through volume one yet.I believe it numbers 14 separate binders right now with much work to be done...Maybe we should change the title to Crazy Funky Frog's Collection... Consider 14 different threads, titled "Funky Frog's Collection, YEAR-YEAR (or Volume #)." That would help future viewers more easily find material. Trying to find an early-2014 entry in the postmark calendar thread, without the aid of the search function, will demonstrate the challenge viewers will encounter as this thread expands.

Good point Steve.I understand how you made rank now!! When we hit volume two I'll start a new thread.Perhaps at that point you could edit thread title of original to reflect volume one?? Thank you all for indulging my endless postings of these.
