image Collection of British American Bank Note Co. Tobacco Tax Stamps, with twenty three different, all mounted on quadrille pages, from 1870 to 1883, all with a Queen Victoria vignette and all unused. Includes six from the 1870 issue, five from the 1872 provisional issue, one issued on March 31, 1875 showing a QV vignette quite similar to the 8c Small Queen, except for a slightly different chignon treatment, as well as eight from the 1883 issue, with and without the attached weight tabs (one has a reversed "R" at top indicating a repaired plate). The quality of these is truly remarkable and fresh, a great opportunity to acquire such a nice representation of the fine artwork produced by the British American bank Note Company in Montreal. All are scanned online. (Image)
