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

I did not scan the whole thread but if revenue stamps are of interest and allowed then here is the first revenue from Canada. It is from the first bill stamp set. It was issued in 1864 with the Van Dam number FB1.  |
