36 Lot 36Canada #35P E/P 1c Small Queen Defaced Plate Proof in Black, a complete right pane of 100 stamps from the “H & I” plate, showing three “Montreal Type V” plate imprints, a “ONE CENT” shaded counter at top right, a reversed “R” at left, and a “I” at top centre. This particular plate was defaced as it had outlived its usefulness, by adding ten vertical strokes through the stamps. This is as far as we know the only surviving intact pane. It has been folded horizontally in three places, and is otherwise very fine and quite desirable. Our catalogue value of $60,000 does not include a premium for the several possible “imprint blocks of 4” (valued in Unitrade at $4,000 each) which would substantially augment the total c.v.
