Canadian Small Queen Issues

[Admin Bear]

while starting to put stamps in my album last night i took this great pack of 3 cent small queens that were sent to me and put them all on a stock page..

after looking in my Unitrade catalog i found some information but i was hoping someone here may have more resources. in particular i am looking for help identifying them, looking for varieties, and certainly help with post marks from that era...

i have not scanned them yet so i know i will need to do that also but any links, or other recommendations would be very helpful.. thank you in advanced.

click on the year you want and then the stamp. Brings up information about it.

This is the archives of all Canadian stamps up to 2010. Someone posted this on the old board and it helps a lot.

This may be off interest (beware - may be information overload). I know the gentleman, he is very knowledgeable.

Depending on how deep you want to get into the small queens perhaps a colour guide?

Somebody in our Lakeshore Stamp Club, with great
determination and at great expense, collected a
whole sheet of Small Queens using the numbers that
I believe are printed on each stamp. He exhibited
that sheet together with some of the varieties he
accumulated along the way and got a gold medal
for it (at several exhibits, I think, too!)

that must have been hard to do!!

i have mine on a stock page but time has not presented itself for me to scan them up... perhaps i will force the kids off that computer for an hour or 2 and scan a bunch of stuff (including these)
