Hi sensato,
I don't have a specialised Canadian reference but in Higgins & Gage this card seems to be #103, 1 cent green, TYPE 15 from the 1930/31 colour changes.
The type reference is to the text on the card. These are all Die B, i.e. your Die II with the slanting lines.

Thanks, nigelc. I'm not very familiar with Canada post cards, and haven't heard of Higgins & Gage.
I see from Wikipedia: 'In philately, the Higgins & Gage World Postal Stationery Catalog is the most recent encyclopedic catalogue of postal stationery covering the whole world. Despite most volumes not having been updated for over thirty years, the catalogue and the H & G numbering system are still widely used by philatelists and stamp dealers although the values given in the catalogue are out of date.'
I'll await further responses here before suggesting to the Webb's editors that this might be a new item for them to list.

Replying to my own query here: Bill Walton, one of the co-editors of Webb's 8th ed., has very kindly replied that this is P107. He states that font differences are not considered in the numbering system. However, line dividers, as used in Type 21, are considered as a different type.

I'm unable to locate this card in Webb's Postal Stationery Catalogue, 8th ed. The stamp is Die II (slanted shading lines), and the heading appears to be Type 21 as illustrated on p 460. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
