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

The one in the link isn't quite the same. Guessing a different issue / year?

The middle two pictures depict cut-outs from postal stationery. The perforation to the right of the Queen Victoria example shows that it came from a letter card.

Hi, Gavin ( gotstamps85 ), and thanks for your post. Do you know how to do a web search using Google or other similar platform? If you do, try entering the legend from your stamp, along with the word "stamp" like this: When you do that, the top result is a thread in another online stamp community that discusses these stamps in detail, and in fact, there is a page of catalogue listings shown there: www.stampcommunity.org/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9987It doesn't work every time, but you might be surprised how often a simple web search based on what info you can get from the item itself will lead you to the answer. Hope this helps.

gotstamps85......The War Seal was issued by the War Seal Foundation founded by Oswald Stoll. A fund-raising label for injured and disabled soldiers. They were issued in booklets which contained panes of 6 stamps. The Japanese Quality Control stamp (for export) was most likely used for the 'Japanese Union Export Hosiery Manufacturers Association' but there are many so I may be wrong. They would definitely make for a nice sideline collection. Londonbus1

coming back to the cut-out from a letter card (perfs. down right side) showing Q. Victoria, the barred oval obliterator showing J11, indicates this cancellation was made in a place called Armley, in Yorkshire (U.K.) - which have to say I'd never heard of before. A district in the west of Leeds apparently with connections to the industrial revolution, so some oldish stuff there. This P.O. was certainly active and on the list for 1892, though for how long prior to that I've no idea. Ref. 'British Post Office Numbers 1844 - 1906' By G. Brumell.
Just to add a little to daniel's information about the two ovals showing 1d. and 1.1/2d., from postal stationery, in view of the fact that this guy has hair he is going to be George V, though regret unable to help as to date.

I believe the money raised by the sale of these seals paid for a row of terrace houses for some soldiers disabled in the WW1 .
