SPECIAL OFFER #SM198
Here’s one you probably missed! Canada Post, in a new marketing
scheme, combined a phone card with a couple of stamps and sold it as a
package at postal outlets. There are four different in the set.
So what makes these packs so special? Well, the stamps included are not available in any other format. So we have
four brand new stamps that most people missed out on. These non-denominated stamps are major varieties and have
already been assigned Scott numbers (#2045-2048). Prices are on the way up and are very volatile at present as collectors
and dealers alike scramble to find stock.
The designs of these stamps are very attractive, and with topical themes like dogs and butterflies it is easy to see that
demand for these will not only come from collectors of Canada.
I advise you to put away a set or two for the future. Only a few thousand of each pack were sent out and many of
these have already been used for postage. I can supply the complete set of four packs for just £39.95 post paid.
Our latest price list is free for the asking!

SERIOUS BUYER...
Every year I travel hundreds of miles throughout the UK, Europe and Scandinavia, buying stocks, collections and
accumulation. And I’ve been doing this since 1970.
WHAT DO I BUY?
I buy virtually anything in stamps and covers, from specialised one country collections to general lots and accumulations, from
better quality single items to complete dealer’s stocks. If it’s philatelic, I’m interested.
WHY SELL TO ME?
For FOUR very good reasons:
ACCURATE VALUATIONS I have over thirty years full time experience as a major buyer in the stamp trade, and I buy from all the main
UK & Continental auction houses. I make accurate, efficient valuations based on the very latest market values.
FAIR VALUATIONS I work on high turnover with low profit margins which means I must buy - and I pay the top market price to make sure
I do. I cannot afford to waste my time and yours by making unrealistic offers which will not stand comparison.
IMMEDIATE PAYMENT All my offers are backed by immediate payment.
We agree a price and you get paid there and then. It’s that simple.
HOME VISITS I travel extensively, which means I can easily arrange to view bulky, valuable collections in your own home - at no extra cost
to you. And finally...
I buy most of my material from auction, usually at well below my “top price”.
If those people had sold directly to me they would have been paid more. Paid immediately and would not have paid commission or gone to
any other expense.
Think about it - and then give me a ring.

IS POSSIBLE TO SEE STRIATIONS ON THE

WITH IT AREAS OF ORANGE RED INK !LL OF
THIS MUST HAVE OCCURRED AFTER THE STAMP
WAS PRINTED
7E THINK THE DAMAGE IN TRANSIT
THROUGH THE POSTAL SYSTEM
ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE RED HANDSTAMP
AFFECTED NOT ONLY THE ENVELOPE BUT ALSO
THE STAMP -OST LIKELY THEY WERE
VICTIMS OF A SORTING EQUIPMENT FAILURE
/NE CLUE IS THE SMALL TRACES OF GREEN
INK WHICH APPEAR BOTH ON THE ENVELOPE
AND RUBBED INTO THE SURFACE OF THE
STAMP 4HIS CLEARLY COULDNT HAVE
HAPPENED DURING ITS PRINTING
!NOTHER CLUE IS THAT THE LEFT AND RIGHT
SIDES OF THE STAMP WHICH ARE COVERED BY
THE PHOSPHOR BANDS ARE LESS BADLY
DAMAGED 4HIS IS PRESUMABLY BECAUSE
THE PHOSPHOR ACTED AS SOME SORT OF
SEALANT OVER THE INK MAKING IT LESS
PRONE TO RUBBING AWAY UNDER PRESSURE
)N THE CIRCUMSTANCES THE STAMP CAN
ONLY BE CONSIDERED AS DAMAGED WITH NO
PHILATELIC VALUE
7E ARE SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU BUT
HAD IT BEEN A PROOF IT WOULD NOT
HAVE BEEN PERFORATED AND IT WOULD BE
VERY UNLIKELY TO HAVE BEEN GUMMED

SEEM TO BE ANY HARD AND FAST RULES FOR IDENTIFYING
THE DIFFERENT PRINTINGS
)S THERE ANY WAY ) CAN DETERMINE WHETHER A STAMP
HAS BEEN PRINTED BY MEANS OF PHOTOGRAVURE OR
LITHOGRAPHY AND BY $E ,A 2UE %NSCHEDÏ (ARRISON
3ONS 1UESTA 7ADDINGTON OR 7ALSALL
%RNEST *ONES #HESTER
!
4HERE IS NO SIMPLE ANSWER AS YOU HAVE ALREADY ESTABLISHED
BUT A METHODICAL APPROACH WILL HELP TO SOLVE MOST PROBLEMS
4HE FIRST STEP IS TO OBTAIN A SUITABLE SPECIALISED CATALOGUE SUCH
AS THE 3TANLEY 'IBBONS 3PECIALISED #ATALOGUE 6OLUME OR THE
#OMPLETE $EEGAM -ACHIN (ANDBOOK WHICH LISTS THE STAMPS AND
THEIR PRINTING DATES
!T THE MOST BASIC LEVEL THIS WILL ENABLE YOU TO IDENTIFY STAMPS
WHICH CAN ONLY HAVE COME FROM ONE PRINTER &OR EXAMPLE ALL OF
THE PRE DECIMAL -ACHINS AND THE P VALUES IN THE DECIMAL SERIES
WERE PRINTED ONLY BY (ARRISONS 4HE P WAS PRINTED ONLY BY
%NSCHEDÏ THE P ONLY BY 7ALSALL AND SEVERAL FROM P
UPWARDS ONLY BY $E ,A 2UE
)N A SIMILAR WAY CERTAIN COLOURS CAN BE ESTABLISHED TO HAVE
BEEN PRODUCED BY ONLY ONE PRINTER
/THER CATALOGUED INFORMATION THAT CAN HELP YOU DIFFERENTIATE
BETWEEN PRINTINGS INCLUDE ISSUE DATES DETAILS OF PERFORATIONS
PHOSPHOR BANDS AND THE USE OF PHOSPHOR COATED PAPER 4O TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THESE YOU WILL NEED A SUITABLE ULTRA VIOLET LAMP
AND A PERFORATION GAUGE
9OU CAN LEARN TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN STAMPS PRINTED BY MEANS
OF LITHOGRAPHY PHOTOGRAVURE AND GRAVURE AND EVEN BETWEEN THE
SINGLE COLOUR AND TWO COLOUR LITHO PRINTINGS THROUGH THE STUDY
OF MINT SPECIMENS FROM KNOWN EXAMPLES 4HE MOST IMPORTANT
POINTER IS THAT THE OUTLINES OF THE STAMP VALUE ARE SHARP EDGED IF
LITHO HAS BEEN USED AND BLURRED OTHERWISE
4O FOLLOW THROUGH THE DETECTIVE PROCESS LET US TAKE AS AN
EXAMPLE THE P -ACHIN WHICH HAS BEEN PRINTED BY ALL OF THE
PRINTERS EXCEPT 7ADDINGTON
3TART WITH ITS COLOUR )F IT IS TERRACOTTA AND ORANGE BROWN IT WAS
PRINTED BY (ARRISONS FIRST ISSUED IN )F IT IS GREYISH ORANGE
ONCE AGAIN IT MUST BE FROM (ARRISONS FIRST ISSUED IN
(OWEVER IF IT IS LIGHT TAN IT COULD HAVE COME FROM ANY ONE OF
FIVE DIFFERENT PRINTERS SO WE NEED TO CONSIDER OTHER ELEMENTS
)F IT HAS NO ELLIPTICAL SECURITY PERFORATIONS AND IS ON PHOSPHOR
COATED PAPER IT CAME FROM (ARRISONS FIRST ISSUED IN )F IT
HAS TWO PHOSPHOR BANDS IT EMANATED FROM (OUSE OF 1UESTA
FIRST ISSUED IN
)F IT HAS ELLIPTICAL PERFORATIONS AND A POSTMARK DATE PRIOR TO
-AY IT MUST HAVE BEEN PRINTED BY %NSCHEDÏ FROM
GIVEN A YELLOW FLUORESCENCE IN THE PHOSPHOR AND AFTER
GIVEN A BLUE FLUORESCENCE
'RAVURE PRINTINGS OF THE P STAMP WERE FIRST ISSUED BY
%NSCHEDÏ IN BY (ARRISONS IN BY 7ALSALL IN AND
BY $E ,A 2UE IN BOOKLETS AND SHEETS
%VEN THOUGH THE (ARRISONS %NSCHEDÏ AND $E ,A 2UE "YFLEET
PRINTINGS ALL HAVE ELLIPTICAL PERFORATIONS AND TWO PHOSPHOR
BANDS IT IS POSSIBLE TO VISUALLY DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THEM USING
A MAGNIFYING GLASS
!N %NSCHEDÏ STAMP HAS MM PHOSPHOR BANDS AND THE
POINTS AT THE TOP OF THE CROWN ARE OPEN (ARRISONS AND $E ,A
2UE STAMPS HAVE MM BANDS AND THE POINTS AT THE TOP OF THE
CROWN ARE VIRTUALLY CLOSED
9OU CAN TELL THE (ARRISONS STAMPS FROM THOSE OF $E ,A 2UE

OFF PAPER MIXTURES
These mixtures are extremely popular especially with those who find it tedious washing stamps off paper.
You can transfer them straight into your collection (no fuss!)
*NEW* QUEEN VICTORIA - KING GEORGE VI COMMONWEALTH This one is a
real gem and very rare (probably unique to the stamp market). Off paper and therefore no
soaking required. We were lucky enough to buy a retired dealer/collectors collection of albums
and accumulations and was not sure what to do with it so have decided to treat you all by
busting the whole lot into one off paper mixture. As we do not sell stamps individually or by
catalogue value we have left that for you. Great interest for postmark collectors as many of
them will be now obsolete, and great for watermark, shade and perf varieties. Majority being
George V & VI but also contains Victoria and Edward. Limited supplies and once sold out will
probably not be seen again. Around 2,000 stamps per 1/4lb and must be a bargain at around 3p
a stamp. 1/4lb £60.00, 1/2lb £115.00.
SPECIAL OFFER No. 2: Buy 1lb of each for the discounted price of £119.00.
List price £137

lot is over 7000 stamps, costing you around 1/2p each
............................................................................................1/2lb £18.00, 1lb £35.00, 5lbs £155.00
BRITISH EMPIRE SCOOP! An OFF paper mixture covering old Empire and modern
Commonwealth. Serveral clients found stamps cataloguing £10 to £50 each. No promises but
with at least 12,000 stamps/1lb costing 1/2p a stamp you’ll have great fun sorting
....................................................................................................................1/2lb £26.00, 1lb £51.00
WEST EUROPE SCOOP! An OFF paper mixture of small and large stamps with much earlier
