Ontario and Quebec "Blind Justice" Law Stamp Proofs. Lovely group of 16 large format American Bank Note Company produced trial colour proofs of the generic "Blind Justice" type used (with various overprints) in Ontario and Quebec. Loads of unaccepted colour combinations (too bad!). The group includes unoverprinted proofs, "C.F." (Consolidated Fund), "F.F" (Fee Fund),"L.S." (Law Society"L.C." (Lower Canada), as well as "S" (?) and"S.C" (?) overprints. This particular group of proofs is from a collection that predates by many decades the material that came to market after the 1990 Christie's ABNC Archives sale. Some minor toning spots of minor faults on a few stamps noted for the record. These particular proofs were most likely originally affixed to printer's working index cards and are most probably much scarcer than the material that is referenced in the Van Dam catalogue.
