I need some help. I have several copies of what I believe are 2692A. The perfs all measure 8.25. They also have several nibs along the perf line. I read the Scott catalog as 2692A. The dealer I am working with insists that the 2692 is the stamp with perf 8.25 and the nibs. What I am I missing?

It would be helpful if you put the country name in the title and in the message.

re: 2692 vs 2692A

Turns out that we are both right! I am using Scott, while the dealer is using the Unitrade catalog, which has the listings reversed! I guess I need to find a recent Unitrade catalog.

re: 2692 vs 2692A

Canada 2692 Baby Wildlife Definitive (63c Woodchuck) is Serpentine Die Cut 8.15 to 8.50 Horiz. (Rounded tips with 3 'nibs' between stamps).

#2692A is the 63c Woodchuck, Serpentine Die Cut 9.2 Horiz (Rounded tips).

These have the repeating 'Canada' underprint.

Check the reverse of the stamps.

re: 2692 vs 2692A

Since Unitrade uses Scott numbers, it would be Unitrade that is wrong, unless Scott changed the catalog numbers. They do this now and then. The information I provided came from the 2017 Scott, so if a number change was made, it would have to have come from the 2018 or 2019 catalogs. I would not bet on that having been done, however.

re: 2692 vs 2692A

He sent me a photocopy of the page from his Unitrade. It is switched when compared to Scott. So I guess it is wrong. This was the second time I had ordered this stamp from a Canadian dealer, and the second time I received the 'wrong' stamp. Now I understand why this is happening.

re: 2692 vs 2692A

The information I have posted was taken from the latest edition (2018) of the Unitrade Catalogue. The definitives listings appear in two locations of the catalogue - the regular listings and the Definitive Stamp Locator listing at the back of the catalogue.

If you have any doubt with Unitrade's information I would suggest contacting Robert Harris, the longtime editor of the Unitrade Catalogue.
