Canada #1048a, 1075-1076 32c Therese Casgrain & Emily Murphy, Naval Personnel & The Old Holton House, 1985 Canadian Feminists, Navy & Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Issues, 4 VFNH Singles & 2 Pairs DF2/DF1 Harrison Papers, Different Shades

4 VFNH singles & 2 pairs of the 32c multicoloured Therese Casgrain & Emily Murphy, Naval Personnel & The Old Holton House from the 1985 Canadian Feminists, Navy & Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Issues DF2/DF1 Harrison papers, different shades. On these the shades vary slightly as follows: the taupe background on the Therese Casgrain stamp, The left sailor's uniform and Canada panel on the Navy issue, and the sky on the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts issue. 1985 marks the year in which the Harrison paper becomes primarily dull under UV, whereas in 1984 it was primarily LF (at least on the face). The normal appearance of this paper is DF on the front and usually some variation of DF on the back. Variations that are LF on either the front or back are much less common at this point, and definitely worthy of separate mention.

Unitrade does not list these varieties, but we estimate the value at $8. The stamps offered here grade 80-84 as follows:
