Canada Local Post StampsKaulbach Island, located in Mahone Bay, just west of Halifx, Nova Scotia, was developed as a vacation resort starting around 1970. With the approval of Canada Post, the Kaulbach Island Local Carrier Service was initiated in 1971 to transport mail between the island and the mainland, at Chester, NS.
Sets of local post stamps were issued on an annual basis, depicting local birds and animals, or specialized themes. These stamps were to be affixed to the backs of envelopes, and normal Canadian postage stamps were also required for the non-local portion of the delivery. A total of 92 different stamps were issued before the service was ended in 1984 due to growing fears of ecological damage by the many tourists visiting the island.
This lot consists of the 1974 issue, which is 4 different stamps depicting animals.
These stamps are listed in Ronald Lafrenière's "Field Guide to the Cinderella Stamps of Canada" as cc5450, Types 23-26. (2015 c.v. $10.00)
These examples are all F/VF, mint, never hinged. (Some stamps have light stains on face)
Approximate Image Size: 22 x 36 mm.

After 35+ years I decided to retire from being an active Cinderella Stamp dealer. Most of my working inventory plus backup stock was sold at public auction. However, I have retained some material that I will be offering for sale. In addition, I have some "new" material that was mixed into lots I have bought for my own collections. I will be listing some of the material in my eBay store at fixed prices.
I will also be offering some material at auction, either as single items or mixed lots. There will be many bargains available. There will be large and small lots, some containing similar material, some containing a random mixture, and some containing only one or a few items. The condition will be mixed, but none of the lots will be just accumulations of damaged or faulty stamps (unless specifically listed as such).
Items in stockpage or larger lots may be removed and repackaged into glassines to save on shipping costs.
A Note about Poster Stamps and Gum: Because many poster stamp collectors are primarily interested in the image on the stamp, the absence or presence of gum on the back is of little concern. If no mention of gum is made, then there may or may not be gum present. If you are only interested in poster stamps with original gum, please inquire before bidding. Actual condition issues (that are not apparent from the scan) WILL be described.
A Note about "Stock Images": Occasionally I will have more than one example of an item in inventory. Rather than scan each one individually, I may use the same image for multiple examples of the item. If that is the case, the item supplied will be in substantially the same, or better, condition than the image. Any such items will have the words: "STOCK IMAGE" at the end of the description.
