Old-Time Collection of Canadian Tobacco Tax Paid Stamps Housed in four old springback albums, displayed on loose leaves with write-up (quite informative), containing about 1,100 Cigarette stamps, Tobacco strips and Snuff. First two subjects are extensive in "Series C" and Series of 1942. Myriad coloured surcharges, Excise tax overprints / surcharges, different code cancels - date of use and manufacturer. An impressive collection assembled by a knowledgeable collector in the 1940s and 1950s and untouched since. Condition is mixed as usual but overall better than normally seen; seldom seen material ideal for a specialist. (Image)

Remarkable Old-Time Collection of Mainly Unused Tobacco Stamps Old scrapbook with over 200 different, mostly unused, noting early large size stamps and strips from 1860s and 1870s, emphasis on 1880s Manufactured Tobacco from various cities, including inscriptions in French; a few without serial numbers and a few surcharged or handstamped. Some degree of ageing and mixed condition as to be expected with these. A great lot which has not seen the light of day in years. (Image)
