Row 1: 1,2, 10X1 Row 2: 7, 8A, 9, 11A Row 3: 10, 11, 12, 13 Row 4: 14, 15, 17, 10A
And before anyone says anything I just noticed 10A and 11A are reversed and I will fix it ASAP!
Edit: A little bit of trivia, Benjamin Franklin was also considered to be the first "post master general of Canada".
"1763: The first postal service established in what would later become Canada. Following the Treaty of Paris of 1763, in which Canada is ceded to Great Britain, Benjamin Franklin and John Foxcroft, joint Deputy Postmasters General for British North America, appoint Hugh Finlay as the first Postmaster at Québec"

If I had a US album the first page would be rather empty.
Nice collection!

I am very much an old fashioned type of collector who believes in albums. I am also a bit anal and I really get a kick out of finishing a page or a series. We're all different and that's great, at least in my opinion! There's quite often stamps left out but in most cases they're totally out of reach anyway. My Canada album, on the other hand, shows almost everything. That means the page with #32 will never be filled, the same as the page with the Port Hood provisionals! But I guess I will have to put up with disappointments like that.

@Harvey
It's difficult to make out individual stamps on this page, please enlarge these, also add arrows to show the different types involved. Do you have any special cancels we should be aware of?
Especially show the different types to tell the One Cent blue Franklins apart!

@1898 I'm just doing this to show the page. Everything has been checked very carefully and I'm satisfied with the result. If you want to know the differences have a look in Scott's. What you want will take more work that I'm willing to put into this minor little show and tell! Sorry! And also as I've said many times I don't do scans myself yet!! Any serious US collector knows the differences already. This was not an attempt to educate, just to show the completed page.

@Anybody
Is it true that the One Cent Franklins that are in the Harvey's photo/scan the different types were all in one sheet?

"Is it true that the One Cent Franklins that are in the Harvey's photo/scan the different types were all in one sheet?"
I know from recent reading and research in Scott's that that is definitely true of the 10 cent green and it is possible to have expensive blocks and pairs with more than one type of stamp present. There are four types and many combinations are possible. In some cases it is very difficult to tell types depending on the placement of the postmarks. Without checking the Scott's since I am about to head out to lunch I believe the 1 cent blue is the same. Please correct me if I am wrong. I wonder if there are full unbroken mint sheets of any of these stamps out there showing all varieties and what they would be worth.

Some are from the same plates, and some are exclusively found on different plates.

The link above contains most everything a person needs to know about these stamps including a simple 'step-by-step ID tool. It covers every plate position, which catalog number they are. etc.

There are planes, but I do not know if any sheets exist (original sheets not made up sheets)!

Very nice page!
"I am very much an old fashioned type of collector who believes in albums. "
So you soaked them all off covers to fit in your album?
I'm the opposite. I don't use traditional albums, and I collect what I like. My US 1&2 and Zeppelins are all on cover.
When I see used sets of Zeppelin singles, and I recognize parts of the cancels, or the purple cachet on the stamps I wonder who the heck soaked them off flown covers!

I would never soak a vintage stamp off cover or piece, that would be a sin against philately!! I have bought most of my stamps from dealers over the years, so the guilty deed had already been done!! I have some interesting covers that will never see water, al least not because of me!!

It took a while but it's finally complete, a nice page!
