SASKATOON ELECTRICAL INSPECTION. The extremely rare 1911 issue Saskatchewan "City of Saskatoon" 25c dull red Electrical Inspection stamp, with the left hand border INVERTED, as well as with a portion of the lower frame reversed. Traces of OG on reverse. Only a very few examples of this stamp, let alone the variety are known. Horizontal crease at top (between frame and serial number) noted for the record. A similar stamp (without a crease) sold for US$2,000.00 plus commission (approximately $3,000.00 CDN) in Spink Shreves Galleries Sale - 114 (The Robert H. Cunliffe Collection of Spectacular Inverted Stamps of the United States and the World - June 18-19, 2009). Apparently undervalued in Van Dam. 2017 Van Dam.
