1937 KGVI Coronation Cinderellas, Full Sheet

Not mine.
Shared with the Community by a fellow stamp collector from his collection.

Full Sheet of sixty cinderella stamps commemorating the
Coronation of King George VI in 1937.

Scanned in two passes.







edit: I had a thought, do I have the sheet oriented correctly? Should the printer's name be oriented so it is readable?
edit2: Scans turned on their sides to match CindyCan2's suggested line-up (see below post).

Thanks for showing these as well Puzzler. I only have a few singles in my collection.

A smaller comparable to this is a sheet of 9 poster size stamps from the 1939 Royal Visit to Canada. It is a small challenge to get covers with one example of each to complete the sheet. The 1937 Coronation sheet would be a much larger challenge to say the least.

Bujutsu, I saw your 1939 stamps and think they are wonderful. Beautiful engraving around the edges and all. Quite handsome.

These 1937 ones are are a major challenge I would think. Personally I do not have a one of them. But I do have a scan of them!

I was thinking I should post each stamp and put the row and column of each for future collector's interest.

Do you know which way the sheet is properly oriented? Half the stamps are upright now but half are sideways. I suppose it works either way.

Here's a list I put together for the Field Guide to the Cinderella Stamps of Canada, which has a section on British Monarchy stamps as these are of interest to Canadian collectors. I have used the sheet orientation (6 columns x 10 rows) that has the printer's inscription on the bottom selvage, and numbered stamps sequentially in rows:
1. King George VI
2. King George V and Queen Mary
3. Queen Victoria's Coronation
4. Big Ben and Westminster Bridge
5. The Pool of London
6. H.M. King George VI
7. H. M. The Queen
8. Coronation of King Henry VI
9. Duke of Windsor and Princess Royal
10. Prince Edward (age 1 year)
11. Four Generations
12. The Coronation Coach
13. The Duke of Windsor
14. St. James Palace
15. H. M. The King
16. Windsor Castle
17. Yeomen of the Tower
18. Opening of Parliament
19. Windsor Castle Aerial view
20. Coronation of William I
21. Queen Victoria's Coronation
22. Trooping the Colour
23. The Duke and Duchess of Kent
24. Queen Elizabeth (as a child)
25. The Wedding of Princess Royal
26. Changing the Guard, St James
27. T. M. King George and Queen Elizabeth

55. The King at Portsmouth
56. Queen Mary
57. Imperial State Crown
58. Tower of London
59. Canterbury Cathedral (Angel Tower)
60. King George V at Balmoral.

Full sets of 60 are offered on ebay on a regular basis, but it is quite rare to find an intact sheet, as the perforations are quite fragile where the panels have been folded to fit in the envelope in which the stamps were sold.

I was told when the scans were passed to me to post that one complete unbroken sheet at least still existed.

Thanks CindyCan2! I will re-orient my posts to match, and renumber my single posts.

CindyCan2 beat me to it Puzzler. Thanks for that.

I was going to suggest that you put them in order according to the bottom label with the "Harrison & Sons" inscription, but, then again, I noticed too that there are guidelines at the top (if that is the top) of the sheet and the order might be from there too (?)

No. 1, Row 1, Column 1, King George VI as a boy


No. 2, Row 1, Column 2, King George V and Queen Mary

No. 3, Row 1, Column 3, Queen Victoria's Coronation


No. 4, Row 1, Column 4, Big Ben and Westminster Bridge

No. 5, Row 1, Column 5, The pool of London


No. 6, Row 1, Column 6, His Majesty King George VI

That is a pencil mark I believe placed there to aid in lining up the two scans afterwards (could be wrong, I used it for that anyway).

Please tear up the sheet and send me the King George V and Queen Mary cinder! I keep meaning to look for that one for my KGV cinders....!

We are not amused.
Please note that the Tower of London will be in the last group to be shown. Please be patient.

No. 7, Row 2, Column 1, Her Majesty, The Queen


No. 8, Row 2, Column 2, Coronation of King Henry VI

No. 9, Row 2, Column 3, Duke of Windsor and Princess Royal


No. 10, Row 2, Column 4, Prince Edward (Age 1 Year)

No. 11, Row 2, Column 5, Four Generations


No. 12, Row 2, Column 6, The Coronation Coach

I found a lot of stamps in the attic (10,000) and wanted to see what I have . I came across this site and just registered . I am new to stamp collecting. Any info would be appreciated. Is this sheet of stamps rare and is there a book value? Thank you.
