Stamps that never quite made it
CANADA COINS || CANADA CURRENCY
In the broadest sense, a CINDERELLA STAMP is a stamp is a label which resembles a stamp, but which has no postal validity. Trying to further define them is not an easy task. For our purposes, unless noted, the stamps listed below would normally belong in the 'Semi-Postal' category.
Descriptions are listed below with the stamps.

The 'Maritime & Newfoundland Airways" stamps listed below were planned to operate, but were refused permission by postal authorities to issue special stamps for its fights. Despite this, they had stamps printed by A. C. Roessler and offered them for sale to the public. Continued negotiations with the postal authorities resulted in a special flight being postponed. In August 1931, a plane left North Sydney with about 4000 covers. The authorization was never granted and the covers were with a handstamped explanation on the reverse, signed by J. R. McGowan.
