Canada #O38a 50c Pale Milky Green, Textile Industry, 1953-1954 Karsh Official G Overprinted Issue, A Single of the Flying G Overprint Showing Retouch in Lower Left Corner, Perf. 11.9, DF Smooth Paper, Smooth Cream Gum With a Semi-Gloss Sheen, VFNH

A VFNH example of the 50c textile industry stamp with "Flying G" overprint from the 1953-1954 Karsh Official G Overprinted Issue. Perf. 11.9, and printed on DF smooth paper. Smooth cream gum with a semi-gloss sheen. Additionally, as shown in the close-up scan, all of the horizontal shading lines in the lower left corner of this stamp have been retouched. Unitrade does not list the retouch, but lists the cracked plate at $40, so we believe that $20 is reasonable. The stamp offered here grades 80 as follows:

Centering/margins: 50/70
Paper freshness: 5/5
Colour: 5/5
Impression: 5/5
Absence of visible paper flaws: 5/5
