Nice lot - I once got a 25-pound off paper lot in a big plastic bin so it's nice that yours are on stock sheets. Looks like there will be lots of postmarks for your collection!
Hi Stamp Sleuth! It seems to me you again bought a large lot of useable stamps for a good price! There are all the stock pages, as you said, and then seemingly a large amount of cancels to keep for your own collection, and then lots of sellable material, like those lot of stamps with higher values. All in all well done, I think. Thanks for the video!
So it appears that Canadian precancels come both with city names and just bars. What can you tell me about these? Were the big cities by name and the smaller cities by bars or was it it by time period? I collect US precancels bars only (no city names) so I might start with Canadian bars only. Do you you know when the the first bars only was issued? Permanent stamps? Is that what we here in the US call Forever stamps?
WELL...I will do some research and perhaps dedicate a video to this very question. Until this lot I did not have enough examples to use on a video! Many thanks for watching and leaving a comment. AND yes the Permanent stamps are our version of your forever stamps.
