The Commemorative Issues of 1970 - Part 2



My apologies for being late with this week's post. I had a computer hardware disaster yesterday that saw me lose most of my data, and I spent most of yesterday trying to recover it, without any success I might add. So, I did not get a change to write this week's post until today.

Today, I delved into the last 17 stamps of 1970, 12 of which came from the Christmas issue. These issues were replete with varieties that are not listed in Unitrade, such as:


  1. A distinct smooth/ribbed paper distinction that is found on all of the issues except for the Alexander Mackenzie issue and the Oliver Mowat issue. 
  2. Additional plate flaws on the Christmas issue 5c and 6c stamps.
  3. A double print of the Canada inscription on the Group of Seven issue. 
  4. Three or more varieties of paper fluorescence for nearly all the stamps listed.
  5. Shade varieties on several of the Christmas stamps and the Group of Seven issue.
In addition, there are the usual variations in perforation on the stamps printed by CBN, which is all but 3 of the 17 stamps. 

In all, it continues to show how interesting these issues can be when looked at in depth. This is the first year that Ashton Potter first appears on the Canadian stamp production scene - a scene that they will dominate for the next 25 years. This year continued the re-introduction of se-tenant designs, with the Christmas issue.

The Federal Bill Stamps 1864-1890's

Image
Overview The bill stamps of Canada are the first revenues to be listed by Van Dam and also provide a fine field for the philatelist who is looking to collect beautiful stamps, while having the chance to form large studies of varieties.  There were three issues of bill stamps all shown below: They were each printed by a different firm, with the Canadian Bank Note Company (CBN) printing the first issue shown in the middle, the American Bank Note Company (ABN) printing the second issue, shown on the right and finally the British American Bank Note Company (BABN) printing the third issue, shown at left. All stamps were printed in sheets of 100. The first issue was in use from 1864-1865, the second from 1865-1868 and the third from 1868 until the 1890's. The purpose of the bill stamps was to evidence payment of stamp duties on monetary instruments like promissory notes and cheques. The amount of tax required to be paid would, of course vary with the face amount of th...

The Perforations on the 1972-1978 Caricature Issue of Canada

Image
This week, my detailed blog post about this issue looks at the perforations in detail. In addition to the basic differences in measurement, all of which are listed in the catalogues there were some difficulties encountered by the CBN as this was the first time that they had used comb machines to perforate stamps. In addition, there are many instances with the sheets and the plate blocks where you can see double strikes of the comb perforator, which give some clues as to how the panes were laid out in the overall print layout. Some examples of the types of things covered in my detailed post are shown below: Here this block shows selvage at the sides that is fully perforated through, while that at the top and bottom of the sheet shows only a single extension hole. This suggests that the panes were laid out horizontally in the print run. On this pair you can see a clear difference in the appearance of the vertical perforations on the bottom half of the bottom stamp in ...

Distinguishing the Printings of the Small Queen Issue

As stated in my last post, the classification of printings between first Ottawa, Montreal and second Ottawa has been a source of frustration for many collectors. I wanted to describe the factors that you need to look at in order to properly classify the printings and then combine them into an efficient algorithm that you can use to sort large quantities of Small Queens Quickly and efficiently. The following attributes will almost always lead to positive identification if you know them well and understand what to look for: 1. Perforations 2. Paper 3. Colour 4. Position dots 5. Cancellations 6. Denominations 7. Gum Because there are exceptions to the general rules established by each attribute above, it is often necessary to consider several attributes together. Perforations Most of the first Ottawa printings of all values other than the 1c and 3c are perforated between 11.75 and 11.9. This is a gauge that is never found on the Montreals or the second Ottawas. Some of ...
