Newfoundland 1940 Centenary of Postage stamp, prod
Sale No: 27

Symbol: P
Cat No: Collection

image Sir Gawaine Baillie collection of Newfoundland 1940 rejected stamp centenary production file including seven essays or designs (three photographic essays, two large essays, a tintype photographic essay, one photographic reference of plane used in design), 12 letters, file cards and original file envelope accompany. This stamp was intended to promote the 100th anniversary of the first postage stamp (1840-1940) but was cancelled due to WWII. The Canadian Bank Note Co forwarded the post office request to the American Bank Note Company. The correspondence includes design and production discussions under a tight timeline. As noted there were no airmail stamps from 1933 until a stamp was issued in 1943. Careful observers will note the same airplane was used in a aerial scene over land, but was now a 7c value instead of the proposed and rejected 4c value. The centenary set was to include the following values 1c, 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c and 10c. The Newfoundland post office cancelled the issue due to WWII but the British government went ahead with their centenary design (showing Queen Victoria and George VI). A tremendous opportunity to acquire the original post office archive and correspondence. Ex Sir Gawaine Baillie, BT. See longleyauctions.com for more scans. (Image)
