I know you can't scan right now.
I have no idea from your images (photo?) how these stamps would make up a booklet pane?

"how these stamps would make up a booklet pane"
Only in my vivid imagination, I'm afraid!!
I can't explain it better than this!!! I don't really have the two booklet panes but if you use your imagination they would look like the picture above!
"and did reconstructions instead. I consider, in my want list, that I have these two but I really don't and probably never will - this was more fun anyway!!!"

That's cool Harvey. I like that idea. Hey, they're not reproductions! why not? better than looking at an empty space.

I would expect to see straight edges on the left stamps? Is this normal for these so called booklets?

"I would expect to see straight edges on the left stamps"
I wouldn't, the left stamps would have been attached to selvage that held the staple. This has been removed!

EDIT: Please don't take offence at this but I get the feeling that every time I post something you (@1899) are determined to challenge me on it. I hope I am just being a bit paranoid!! I just posted this item as a bit of fun, it's not important enough to argue about. These are just copies of booklet pane singles arranged to look like a booklet pane to cover two spaces that I can't afford to fill with the real items. They have no significant value except as booklet singles. I am not foolish enough to think they are really worth anything!!

I have never seen a booklet pane from Canada, if my remarks was a challenge it's because of your description I simply did not understand it!

"I would expect to see straight edges on the left stamps ...

If you have never seen a booklet pane from Canada, why would you "expect" to see straight edges all around? In fact, what booklet pane, from anywhere, has straight edges all around?
You are always chiming in with obtuse or contentious comments.
A personal request, please dial it back a bit.

I like the reconstructed booklet panes, nice job. I appreciate the auction lot booklet pane references to provide additional detail as I had never seen them, probably since I never really looked for them due to my album filling approach to collecting.
My latest efforts with my Canada collection have concentrated on replacing some of the early stamps where I have used copies with mint copies. I suspect just replacing the 35 used stamps that I have with mint copies may provide for a lifetime of efforts not to mention the 19 missing stamps. Catalog numbers to replace include 4, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 44, 46, 47, 71, 72, 79, 82, 83, 84, 91, 92, 93, 94, and 95. And, of course, if one wanted to make this really challenging you could look for these as MNH copies.

Best of luck Jerrel, that's quite a project you've taken on!! I pick up panes up to about 1990 and, ignoring the fact I cheated on the first two, I now only need 3 more 166a, 195a and 197d. I don't mind if they are used and that saved me quite a bit on 107c. I've finished a few collections and this one is getting close!! Good luck with yours!!!
EDIT: Here's my want list for regular Canada, not counting BOB. Most are totally ridiculous, the only one that's sort of affordable is #9. Of course quite a bit of my early stuff is used!! Canadian Want list: (regular listings) #3, 6, 9, 10, 13, 31, 32 ( 7 stamps )

For 1899 and any others who may not have seen a Canadian booklet pane:
Here is a modern Canadian booklet pane, Scott #947a, issued 1985. The booklet from which the booklet pane is removed is a piece of cardboard, folded in 2 in the middle, with the selvedge attached to the cardboard on the left and the 6 stamps on the right side, attached to the selvedge, but not attached to the cardboard backing. The stamps are designed to be detached from selvedge so they can be used on letters. In this instance, the stamps in the top row once detached and used will have perforations on the top, bottom, and either the left or the right side, with one straight edge on the opposite side. Collecting a reconstruction of a complete pane in this instance would involve locating six stamps, 4 of which would each have one straight edge and three edges with perforations, and 2 of which would each have two adjoining straight edges and two other edges with perforations.
For Harvey, it is good to see your fruitful efforts at reconstruction of a hard-to-find set of used singles, and especially with a couple of CDS postmarks. Nicely done!

Thanks very much for posting a picture of a Canada booklet/booklet pane - now all confusion is gone!! Thanks to a few members my collection is finished, except for the reconstructed first two. I have no intention of replacing those, the thousand + needed takes it outside the area of a fun collection. I was contacted yesterday by a member who has the last three I need. I bought the cheaper two and asked him to hold the last one for a couple weeks. I feels good to be able to close down a collection. I hesitate to call it complete since I decided not to bother with the tagged varieties but that's close enough for me. That stock book contains the booklet panes, McDonald's stamp packets (legendary creatures, dinosaurs, Canada's folktales - 2 of each) and the mini sheets (12) to about 1990. A nice book to look at!! Thanks to all who helped!

Hi Harvey,
The Halifax cancel on the booklet stamp you show reminded me of a short article I wrote a number of years ago about the Halifax Disaster in 1917 and the Canada booklet issued in 2017 to mark that event. I have attached a jpg of my article.

I collect Canada booklet panes to about 1990. I'm missing 5 at this point even though I refused to get into the tagging varieties so I guess I'm never actually going to "complete". I also cheated on the first two which are both very expensive ($1000+) and did reconstructions instead. I consider, in my want list, that I have these two but I really don't and probably never will - this was more fun anyway!!!
EDIT: I also really like the Halifax SOTN cancel!! Also 5th stamp in top row is a nice train cancel!
