Hi guys...Take a look at the extra dots on the King's nose...My other 199 does not have them and Unitrade does show a re-entry of this type..Appreciate it if anyone can check their 199 to see if this in a normal oddity..Thanks guys.

Wert, check Ralph re-entry site. It may be what is called the bluenose. Hard to see from the picture but you may be able to get a larger, better resolution?

Hi Wert,

I collect Canadian Perfins, and yours is one that I have not seen before!

Could you please post good pictures of the front and back of the stamp?

Thanks,
-stamporator -

Could the perfin be "WJG" (W.J. Gage & Company of Toronto) who were textbook publishers and stationers (and were also believed to be distributors of some of these perforators)? Of course, it looks like a few perfin punches are missing in the letter "W", which could indicate a broken device or perhaps it was just clogged with debris.

stamporator...Here is what you requested and even reversed the back so you can read the initials.








Gilles le timbre..This is for you.

It's not the "bluenose" re=entry, but it is a nice example of the WJG perfin.

This was the first company in Canada to use perfins, and they are found as far back as the small queens.

I would imagine it is a late use, and probably not common on this stamp.
