Am I Missing A Page From My 2017 Unitrade Catalouge..?

Hi guys..Still trying to put identifying numbers on my Newfoundland stamps (Then Nova Scotia, P.E.I. etc.)

Take a look at this $1.00 mint/NH Newfoundland "Air Mail Postage" stamp below.


N.S.S.C. (Newfoundland Specialized Stamp Catalogue-2002) classifies it as TE4



My Scott Catalogue (2009) does not put a number against it..All it shows in what is in the picture below.


Unitrade does not even show a picture of this stamp...

Imagine me, flyspecker WERT who can find a dot on a pimple on the bum of a frog, but cant find a one inch square picture of a stamp in Unitrade...haha

Any ideas or help would be appreciated..


Also it has a slip print on the whole stamp..Just put one picture up to show you.

I would say that Unitrade has chosen not to picture your stamp. I own a 2016 edition of that catalogue and it is mentioned on page 695 under the heading "St. Johns", but not illustrated. It also notes that the common name for this stamp is "Wayzata" airmail.

Really wtcrowe...I will check my 2016 to..thanks

Found what you were talking about in the 2016 catalogue wtcrowe.

Did find it at the bottom of page 710 in the new 2017 catalogue to.

Dont understand one comment.."was never officially issued"...Then how did I and others get a hold of these stamps..???

Found a good PDF about the stamp..

AND...
Of the 25,000 stamps released to Aerial World Tours, those which had not been sold were subsequently offered to collectors. A final remaining batch of approximately 12,000 stamps were stolen from a home in Minneapolis in the late 1960's, and never recovered.

So only 25000 were ever collected...Interesting.

Here I am, being my usual pedantic self.




I don't think it is actually under heading "St John's" (other than position-wise). That is just the title given to the listing for C19 as the stamp shown a plane and a view of St John's - in just the same way that C12 is under the title "Dornier DO-X Flight".

wert and other collaborators, thanks for this interesting piece of History -

.....now, how to get a copy !

Robert, if you want more information on this stamp, you might read my article on page 4 of the January 1998 BNA Topics, #474. It is available online.

I believe wert has given us (a few posts back) the link to your great article - Thanks !

He did, but I could not pass up a chance to blow my own horn.

According to the Butt & Walsh Catalogue, there was a total of 25,000 of the Wayzata stamps produced, as previously stated in here. This catalogue only makes mention of them but does not illustrate it and describes it as an 'essay'. I have a MNH copy that I was fortunate enough to get at only $5.00, but, that was in the 1970s
