Canada Stamps : On Steiner Pages.

Petermac...Thankyou.

I was suspicious, one cover I had 12 examples, I was not believing somebody would cut or scissor that many.
Also the edges were (to me) die cut.

Still could not see on latest Scott.

$1.49 issue is Sc#2134 2005 Himalayan Blue Poppy
Just listed as "Booklet Stamps Die Cut" (not imperf)

from petermac:




Absolutely right....Unitrade 2198a, 2199a, 2200a (Booklet panes of 6), unperf and self adhesive.

Sorry for my mistake, Rod .....and petermac

Apologies not required, Rene.
All opinions welcomed, it promotes study.

2 beautiful "Arch" stamps, free gift from Rene SCF member,
Thank you very much Rene,
Page completed.

Mint, undisturbed gum, both (especially the 2 cent, Die ll ) evidence, what I thought were "Gum breakers", but I see this evidence of printing by Rotary Press.
Horizontal ridges of gum, scanning does no justice to the real effect.
Does Rotary printing change the face of the stamp at all (sizes?) or is it just a simple matter of gum and printing ID?.
Scott only mentions Rotary Press for the 5c.
Thanks.

Welcome Rod !

On the 2 cent deep red # 165, from the Canadian Postal Archives:
________________________________________________________________
Printer/Quantity:
British American Bank Note Company
477 588 000
Perforation: 11, 8.5 vertical

Creator(s):
Portrait engraved by Carl Theodore Arlt
Based on a photograph by Lafayette Portrait Studios

Historical Notice:
Changes in the International postal rates, effective 1930, required colour revisions of the 1-cent, 2-cent, 5-cent and 8-cent denominations. From 1st April, 1930, the contract for the manufacture of Canadian postage stamps and postal stationery was awarded to the British North American Bank Note Company, Limited, Ottawa. This is an old- established firm which had not manufactured Canadian postage stamps since March, 1897. This change of contract necessitated the issue of completely new, regular series of stamps with the identical portraits of King George V on all the lower denominations. Portrait of His Majesty King George V by Carl Arlt.

René

Thank you.

From what I can gather, then these are indeed Gum Breakers,
Rotary Press, slightly dampened paper (shows the vague vertical lines in the gum)
Design not evident from back of stamp.

I have not found suitable software for measuring a stamp.

Nice curiosity. On cover cancelled 2013.
Personal postage.

The ubiquitous Sc#37

Note: Last 2 may be Sc#37c (Dull Red) but I am not experienced in this area.

WIPEX 1967

Rod, the 4th one on line 2 should be Uxbridge. (I used to play golf near Uxbridge...a beautiful little hamlet.

Rod on the 1st #37 page, last row, stamp on the far right........Toronto Duplex....but you just see the killer, not the date stamp. This comes from Hilson and Nixon Book on SQ, while Winmill (The evolution of Imperial Penny Postage and Postal Hx of the Canadian 1898 Map Stamp) mentions in its Duplex chapter that the enclosed 1 in the killer = Ottawa, with 19 thin bars. (?)Your guess is as good as mine !!
René

Fabulous, Thanks Gilles, changing my page.




I'll take that Rene, Thanks a bunch.

Shall pencil that in on my Page


PS: Out of all my Sc#37 , only found 3 x Perf 11.5 x 12

Despite my poor Colour Hue test of 6.
I am mounting this one as Sc# 37e 3c Dull Red (1872)

Yes Rod.....with the Ottawa Duplex "killer" (19 thin bars and enclosed "1")
