the default listing for this search is 'today'
only Canadian stamps are in this database
'less is more' - that is, the less criteria you give, the more stamps will be found. Providing 'too much' search criteria may give no results!
text in the 'Find' has been entered without the French accents. For example, Noël (e-with-umlaut) on the stamp is Noel (plain 'ol e)in this database.
there is a lot of data here; every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy. Please pass along any corrections that you come upon.
in the 'Find', multiple words will be searched with an 'or' condition. That is, any of the words can be found in the database for a result to be displayed.
this is NOT a Google search, nor is it anywhere near the flexibility of a Google search.
this has been a labour of love; the data is constantly being updated to improve the accuracy and display of listings.
there is a lot that can be accomplished with some simple searches.
this is NOT a catalogue.
