Canada #249-252, 254 Plate Blocks. Outstanding offering of 61x George VI "War" issue plate blocks, all Never-Hinged and seemingly all different either by Plate Number or Position. Collecting the different plate numbers and positions of the "War" issue can be a pleasantly rewarding, although challenging task, while many don't catalogue much, there are so many plates numbers to collect, which are not often stocked by dealers. We have catalogued this group as Fine Never Hinged, although there are plenty of VF centered blocks throughout, with values up to $90.00 per plate block. 2024 Unitrade =
