Canada Goose Stamps

Whistling Swan Stamp

One hundred and five stamps were printed for a special whistling swan season to have been held in 1984 (Stamp numbers 101-105 were not ordered and may have been printer's proofs). The season was subsequently canceled and none of the stamps were regularly issued. The stamps were printed in booklet panes of five (1x5) with a tab at the top. The panes were perforated 11 3/4 between the stamps and between the stamps and the tab. One pane was printed missing the serial numbers. Either the printer or a license agent detected this error and the serial numbers were then rubber stamped onto the pane. The stamps had dry gum.
