Today I'm going to present some very common stamps from Canada ; from the classic days to the 80's..

Here we have two stamps from king Edward VII.. I have to excuse myself for presenting stamps in so "bad shape" , but they are the only one's I've got , at the moment...I would like very much that someone explain me what is the real purpose of having this "Wavy"  kind of cancellation ; is it just to spoil others pleasure in having stamps in decent conditions..??. 

from the set 7 "King Edward VII (1903/1908)"

Perf: 12

Sc(89,90)

some King George V stamps.. they are separated . because they belong to different series..

In the other 3 stamps ,King George VI appears wearing the uniforms of the 3 Military branches  ( Navy, Air Force, Army ) .. these are stamps from a set 14 named "War Effort (1942/1945)" ... in this set not only the King appears , but boats, Tanks , the Parliament Building, etc.. It is a "Most Wanted" series..
    Perf : 12

"Portraits of King George VI" is the name of this 6 set 1949 ..

Complete set 1968 "50th Anniv of 1918 Armistice" ; it represents a Canadian Memorial to those who participate in the I World War .

Perf: 12

Next I'm going to present some stamps only with the Scott Catalog Number ; I'm doing this because I am "sick" of inventing names for the series... I think that in National Catalogs these series have names , and I don't understand why they are not transcribed to these world Catalogs..
