PREFACE 
 VANCQUYE R PU BULO liTBKAjrg 
 
 '7~' HE author has been a Collector of and dealer in Canadian Revenue 
 \*J Stamps for a number of years, and recognizing the undoubted 
 demand, which has existed for some time, for a Standard Catalogue 
 of these l)cautiful and interesting stamps, which would reflect their actual 
 cash value, and also recognizing the boom they are experiencing, so un- 
 questioned and withal so healthy, I launch this little work without 
 apology, except for its imperfections. 
 
 I am able, however, to present some new facts, and some old ones 
 in a new light, and also to catalogue, for the Brst time a set of stamps 
 issued 2 years ago. 
 
 I have discarded all varieties of paper in the bill stamps, which act 
 will, I trust, commend itself to Collectors in general ; neither have I 
 catalogued varieties of perforation, which, as is well known exist both 
 in Bill and Law Stamps. I have always contended that unused stamps 
 should be priced, so far as practicable, and have followed out this idea 
 to a limited extent. I have catalogued the error of the Seven Cent, first 
 issue. Bill Stamp, l)ecause I have, before me as I write all-sufficient 
 proof that it is a genuine error on the part of the engraver, and not due 
 to a broken die or faulty work, as has been affirmed. I hsve, in fact, 
 seen a specimen of the stamp printed from a re-engraved die, plainly 
 shewing the correction, as the bar added to the *• F " at the bottom to 
 make it in •• E " was placed too high up, and too much to the left. 
 
 I have included the Franks issued by the two Telegraph Companies 
 doing business in Canada, on account of the growing interest manifested 
 in such Franks. 
 
 I am indebted to several well known students of these coming stamps 
 for assistance generously rendered, and recognizing, as everyone does, 
 that two heads are better than one, I may say that the prices given in 
 this Catalogue represent a consensus of opinion, existing amongst half a- 
 dozen leading collectors and dealers, on this all-important and difficult 
 subject.

 CANADA BILL STAMPS 
 
 On the 30th day of June, 1864, royal assent was given to an Act, 
 passed by the Parliament of Canada, intituled "An Act to impose duties 
 on Promissory Notes and Bills of Exchange," whereby it was enacted 
 that such duties should \>c 3c. on the 1st $100, and 3c. for every addi- 
 tional $icx) or fraction thereof, and that stamps and stamped paper 
 should bo prepared. 
 
 Under and by virtue of this Act a set of 17 stamps was at once issued, 
 in color, blue, with the (2ueen's head facing left in a perpendicular oval, 
 *' Bill Stamp" at the top, *' Canada " lielow ; in the upper corners, the 
 value in figures, and across the bottom, the value in words, 
 
 I have reason to believe that stamped paper was never prep: A, 
 The above Act was twice amended, on i8th Sept. 1865 and 21st 
 Dec. 1867 respectively. 
 
 The amendment of 1865 provided for a lowering of the duties ; I 
 cent being the rate on notes, &c., for $25 and under, 2 cents over $25 
 and up to $50, and 3 cents over $50 and up to $i(X>, and 3 cents for 
 every additional $100, which duties remained in force until the act was 
 repealed in 1882. 
 
 In 1865, a new series of stamps wa*. prepared, smaller than the first 
 Issue, with the Queen's head facing to the left in a peri>endicular oval, 
 on the I, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 cent stamps, scarlet, ••Canada Bill 
 Stamp " across the top in two slightly curved lines ; across the bottom, 
 the value in words, and just above, at either side, the value in figures.

 6 Hall's Catalogue ok Canadian Rivinue Stamps. 
 
 The 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 cent stamps were printed in blue, with 
 the Queen's head to left in octagonal Irame, the value in figures in upper 
 corneri ; " Bill Stamp," above in curved line ; " Canada," and the 
 value in words in two lines across the bottom. The one dollar has the 
 Queen's head facing left in a circle, •* Bill Stamp " above, and •• Canada ' 
 below ; the value in figures in upper corners, between which, "One" 
 across the top, and acrosft the bottom, ** One Dollar." As the $2 and 
 $3 are similar in design to the $l, they need not be described. Like 
 the $1 they were printed in two colours, and are very beautiful stamps. 
 
 In 1869, a new issue, the third, was decided upon. The i, 2, 3,4, 
 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 cent stamps were printed in various colours, but similar 
 desir^, consisting of a bust of the Queen, with wHow's cap, and chin 
 resting on right hand, in a frame having three rectangular sides, the top 
 Ijeing slightly curved, with "Canada" alx)ve and "Bill Stamp "below, 
 and value in figures in upper corners, and in words across the bottom. 
 The 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 cent stamps were printed in blue, the bust of 
 the Queen, similar to the alwve, in a circle, with the words, "Canada 
 bill Stamp " above, and below the circle at either side the value in 
 figures, and the value in words acroHi the bottom. 
 
 The one, two and three dollars were similar in design, but larger 
 .nnd were printed in two colours. 
 
 I have seen the $2 stamp with inverted medallion, i.e.. with the 
 bust upside down, and consider it the rarest of Canadian Revenues. 
 
 Ungummed proofis of a number of the above sumps exist in an 
 imperforated condition.

 Stamps to be used on all Writs, etc., issued by the Supreme Court of 
 Canada were prepared in 1876. 
 
 They are finely engraved, and arc, without doubt, the most beautiful 
 stamps ever issued by the Canadian Government. The set consists of 
 6 values, all similar in design, and three inches long, Ijy one and a 
 quarter inches wide. The value in figures appears at lop and bottom in 
 oblong frames. A diademed bust of the Queen appears in « beaded 
 circle over an inch in diameter, and about nine sixteenths of an inchfirom 
 the top of the stamp ; at the top of the circle is the word •' Canada," and 
 at the bottom, " Law Stamp," in quarter circles ; on a scroll, below 
 " Law Stamp," is the control number in re<l, and below this, onacurved 
 scroll, the value in words. Colour, blue, perf. 12. 
 
 In the alx>ve year, in addition to the regular functions of the Supreme 
 Court, the inspection of Gas and Weights and Measures was placed under 
 its control, and in addition to the Supreme Court stamps which I have 
 described, Gas Inspection and Weights and Measures stamps were alvo 
 issued. 
 
 The set of Gas Inspection Stamps consists of nine values, the design 
 being the same for all and the colour, blue. 
 
 They are two inches long, three quarters of an inch wide and perfot 
 ated 12. The control numb-r is printed in red on a blank space in the 
 centre of the stamp, and various sites of type were used. 
 
Hali/s Cataloour of Canadian Rkvenur Stamps. 
 
 AlKJve is the word " Gas," surmounted by a large cm. 'ii, and l)elcw, 
 •• Inspection." The value in figures appears in an oblong frame, about 
 the centre of the lower half of the stamp. These stamps are used on 
 certificates issued by the Inspector, certifying to the correctness of the 
 meters. 
 
 The Weights and Measures Stamps comprise eleven values, in black, 
 but the I ano " -^eni stamps now appear in blue. 
 
 In size, oeiuiration and general design they corretspond exactly with 
 the Gas Jtamp.' but have '* Weights & " above the blank apace in the 
 centre cl ihe stnr.ip and "Measures" below. The conirol number is 
 printed both in blue and red, in type of varying sire, and soncstirocs 
 across the ton of the stamp, instead of the centre. 
 
 The^e stamps are used on certificates given by the Inspector certify- 
 ing to the correctness of Weights and Measures tested by him. 
 
 An Act, providing for Electric Light Inspection, waspa^ised in 1895, 
 and a set of seven stamps issued, the counterpart of the Gai. Inspection 
 Stamps. They are printed in a shade of red, with blue coniiol num'icrs 
 across the centre, and are used on certificates testifying to the correctness 
 of the Electric Li^ht meters. 
 
 The aljove three Inspections are now under the control of the depart- 
 ment of Inland Revenue. _______.„

 MANITOBA LAW STAMPS 
 
 The Law Stamps of Maniloln are oblong in shape, and bear the 
 iesign of a figure of Justice, standing, and holding in her uplifted hand 
 pair of balances. The ro, 20, 25 and 50 cent have the words, 
 '• Manitoba Law Stamp," in two curved lines at the top and the value 
 n the bottom. The $1.00 and $2.00 stamp have the value at the top 
 md immediately l)eneath the value, in curved lines the word "Manitoba," 
 md across the Iwttom, '* Law Stamp." These stamps have l)cen found 
 iprinfed from two different dies ; one, (the ** first type ") having nine 
 [scabops down each side, and th'j other (the *• second type"), only six 
 [scallops. 
 
 By " The Manitoba Law S'amp Act, 1875," it wa"! enacted that I^w 
 Stamps should be issued from and after a date tol)e fixed by order of the 
 Licutenant-Governor-in-Council. An order in Council w.\s accordingly 
 passed on the 20th day of April, 187';, which provided for the issuing of 
 stamps on the first day of May 1877, and on the last mentioned date, 
 the so-called "first type" stamps came into use. Full sets of 10, 20, 
 25, 50 cent, $1.00 and $2.00 of lx)th C. F. (Consolidated Revenue Fund 
 Stamps) and L. S. (Law Society Stamps) were printed. On every legal 
 document, stamps of each kind of surcharge were to Ik? used, and the 
 order in Council provided what value o( each was to l>e so used. 
 
 Shortly after the first issue of the stamps, for some reasoj, the stock 
 of 10, 20 and 25 cent C. F. l)ecamc exhausted, and Provisional Stamps 
 wore issued, which were used along with the egular issues on hand. 
 This first Provisional issue consisted of the Coat of Arms of Great Hritain, 
 printed on yellow paper, surcharged C. F. in black. Kach stamp issuetl 
 was numbered, and signed by A. Begg, the officer who issue<l same. 
 Considerably less than one hundred of each of this first Provisional i isue 
 were used, the first being used the last week in June, and the last not 
 later than the middle of July 1877. Again in November 1877, the wppiy 
 of 25 cent C. F. Stamps ran out, a».d the same style of IVovisional 25 cent 
 stamp was issued. The stamps issued in Noveml)er were not numbered,

 but were merely signed or initialed by the proper Court Officer, andafei 
 were even used without being either signed or initialed. 
 
 Again in i88i, both C. F. and L. S. Provisional Stamps wereiswdj 
 consisting of Coat of Arms (smaller than the former issue) on white paiw, 
 with the value in red, and the C. F. or L. S. put on with a hind stamp,! 
 when the stamp was received from the accountant. Occasionally tht 
 officer issuing the stamps forgot to use this hand stamp, ,'md the C. F.j 
 or L. S. was written with indelible pencil, and in some instances, is 
 itialed by the officer who received the document. 
 
 The use of L. S. Stamps was abolished, from the 29th of April, 1884, 
 and C. F. Stamps alone were nsed till the first of July 1886. 
 
 In the latter part of 1884, and the early part of 18B5, ^^^ i^cgubr 10 
 and 50 cent C. F. Stamps having been exhausted, a numlxrr of 10 and 
 50 cent L. S. Stamps, from the old stock still in the hands of the Goycto 
 ment, were used, surcharged C. F. in red with a hand stamp. Appar- 
 ently three different varieties of hand stamps were used at different dates. 
 
 By statute which came into force on the first of July 1S86, the use of 
 C. F. Stam(>s was abolished, and all stamps thereafter to ]x used, were 
 to be surcharged either J. F. (*' Administration of Justice Fee Fond ") 
 or B. F. ("The Building Fund" for the Court House, Etc.) and on 
 every legal document stamps of eacli kind of surcharge were to k used, 
 the values of each kind which were to be so used, being fixed by order 
 in Council. On the first of July 1886, there was on hand a lar^e stock 
 of some of the values of the old L. S. h , and of the current C F. 
 isjiue, and accordingly the Government decided not to print a new issue 
 but to use these stamps on hand, l>y merely surcharging them J. F, or 
 
 B. F. (as required), with a hand stamp. Hence the double surcharges, 
 
 C. r. and J. F., C. F. and B. F., L. S. and J. F., and L. S. and B. F. 
 When the supply of some of the values of some of the old L. S. and C. F, 
 Stamps Ijecame exhausted, the new stamps were printed without any 
 surcharge, the J. F. or B, F. being put on with a hand stamp. Thedd 
 issue of C. F. and L. S. Stamps lasted till 1887, when the firet order 
 was given for unwircharged stam|». Only the 10, 25, and 50 cent were 
 ordered unsurcharged at this time. 
 
Hall's Catalogue of Cana dian Revenue Stamps. iS 
 
 Jy Statute which went into force on March 5th, 1889, the two old 
 
 Is (J. F and B. F.) were abolished, and a new special fund created, 
 
 £(1 ''The Administration of Justice Fee Fund." This practically 
 
 jnt that the J. F. Stamps were kept in use, but (hat the use of B. F. 
 
 [any stamps was abolished. The surcharge J. F. was therefore used 
 
 ill stamps from March 5th, 1889 till 1892. A supply of 25, 50 cent 
 
 $1.00 stamps, was in August, 1889, printed with J. F. in blue (large), 
 
 in 1890 and 1891, respectively, 20 cent and 50 cent samps were 
 
 ited with J. F. in blue (small). 
 
 In 1892 an order was given for a full supply of all values of stamps 
 Jcept $2.00) unsurcharged, and this issue is the issue still in use. The 
 of $2.00 stamps has l)een very limited, and the only ones ever printctl 
 used were the old C. F. and L. S. issue, these being suteequcntly 
 Charged by hand "J. F." or *• B. F.," as occasion demanded. This 
 F. and L. S. issue is the issue of $2.00 stamps sti'.i in use. 
 In 1885 a supply of stamps was printed, the history of which, b quite 
 ^icjue. The former slan»j>i. had l>een supplied by the British American 
 ink Note Company, who held the die or plate. One of the members 
 the Cabinet oi Manitoba, in 1885, was also the director of another 
 al firm, and it was decided to give an order to hb firm. The British 
 |merican Bank Note Company refused to give up the die ; hence the 
 jlher firm were obliged to make a new die to enable them to fill the 
 rdcr. In 1885, when this new order was given, the surchai^e C F. 
 iras the only one in use, and so this issue was printed surcharged C. F. 
 ^nly. When this issue was received, there was still ?i large supply of 
 pearly all values on hand and accordingly nearly all stamps of this issue 
 H.XC surcharged again with J. F. or B. F. to meet the requirements of 
 |hc new Statute which abolished the C. F. surcharge from and after July 
 1st, 1886. A full set of 10, 20, 25, 50 cent, $1.00 and $2.00 was ordered 
 >y the Government, but apparently only the 10 cent and $1.00 were 
 :ver used without being surcharged J. F". or B. F. None of ihc $2.00 
 Btamps of this issue were ever used, but were all destroyed by the Gov- 
 srnment. These "six scroll" stamps were printed on very ixitx paper, 
 [and are easily torn. All the other issues of stamps (except the yellow

 A new issue of Law Stamps, of all values except the $2.00, has jmi 
 been received by the Government, printed by the Bishop Engraving Co., 
 the type being the " six scroll " one. This issue is unsurcharged. The 
 color is lighter, and the paper tougher and stronger than the 1885 'i>s"e- 
 The 50 cent is the only one in use as yet.

 NOVA SCOTIA BILL STAMPf 
 
 These st.imps consist of the third issue, Canada Bill Stamps, sur- 
 |;liarged or overprinted " N, S.," in antique type, the surcharge on all 
 [he lower values being at the bottom, and at the top on the dollar values. 
 The set was issued in 1869, to prevent extensive frauds, which were 
 jcing praciiced on the Government, rendered easy Ijy reas«>n of a differ- 
 ence of 2y^ per cent, between the currency of Nova Scotia and Canada, 
 vhich perniilteil dishonest individuals buying large quantities in Nova 
 Scotia and shipping them to the other Provinces. This anomaly in the 
 Currency was soon corrected, however, when the surcharged stamps 
 became obsolete.

 ONTARIO LAW STAMPS 
 
 On 24th Decemlier, 1869, royal .assent was given to an Act, 33 Vic, 
 [Cap. IX, Ont., intituled *' an Act respecting Law Fees and Trust Funds," 
 [the I'reamhle whereof recites that ** it is expedient to do away with the 
 [distinction existing in respect of the fees and charges payable to the 
 [Crown for or uj)on any prtKceding or matter referred to in the statute 
 [of the late Province of Canada, chaptered five, passed in the session held 
 [in the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth years of the reign of Her 
 iMajesty, in so far as the same relates to the Province of Ontario," and 
 which enacted that from and after the 31st day of DecemlMjr, 1869, all 
 [such distinctions should cease, "and from thenceforth all the said fees 
 [anil charges shall form part of the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the 
 jProvince; and only one kind of stamp, but of different denominations, 
 [shall be issued." 
 
 The Act further provided, by section three thereof, that, in lieu of 
 land as an equivalent for the Law Society fees and charges, on the 30th 
 [day of June, and the 31st day of I)cceml)er, in each year, the sum of 
 [$14,500 he carried to the credit of the I.»aw Society of Upper Canada. 
 
 A new sot of stamps was accordingly prepared, similar in design to 
 Ithe previous issue, but Justice was not blindfolded. 
 
 The 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 cents have "Ontario 
 [Law Stamp," in two curved lines at the top ; the value in figures in both
