Canada Mounted Police Stamp Appraisal

Used Canada 10 Cents Stamp - Mounted Policeman

This is a used Canadian postage stamp, featuring a mounted policeman on horseback, depicted in a monochrome reddish-pink hue on a white paper background. The stamp is rectangular with perforated edges, indicating it was separated from a sheet. The denomination '10' is clearly visible in the bottom left and bottom right corners, enclosed within an ornate, framed design. The word 'CANADA' is printed in small letters below the central image, between the two '10' denominations, and 'CENTS' appears beneath it. The term 'POSTAGE' runs vertically along the right side border, and 'CANADA POSTES' is at the top border, though partially obscured by the postmark. The central image portrays a royal Canadian mounted policeman on horseback, with a stylized landscape in the background. The stamp exhibits a circular black postmark, heavily impressed and partially obscuring the central design and the top inscription. The postmark appears to read '25 ONT', with the numerals '38' also visible within it, suggesting a date or originating location. The stamp shows signs of use, including the cancellation mark and slight fading consistent with its age. The overall condition, while used, appears to be relatively good with no visible tears or significant creasing, although the resolution of the image makes it difficult to assess fine details of wear.
