No. 387a; $9,500.
A CHOICE EXAMPLE OF THE 1959 5¢ ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY ISSUE WITH CENTER INVERTED.
The stamps, issued on June 26, 1959, coincided with the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway by Queen Elizabeth II and
President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The planning and production of the stamps to commemorate the event took almost as long as the construction of the Seaway itself with proposals coming forward in 1954 in the US and in 1956 in Canada. The first report of
the discovery of the Seaway Inverts was when a young office boy from the Marlborough Hotel in Winnipeg purchased 30 stamps from a Post Office outlet in the Eaton store on August 20, 1959. It is believed that approximately 200 examples exist today.

Canada, 1959, 5¢ St. Lawrence Seaway, center inverted. Tied on small piece by wavy line machine cancel, exceptional centering and margins, rich bright colors, Extremely Fine, an especially choice used example,
with 1969 B.P.A. certificate. Scott No. 387a; $7,500.
ONE OF THE FEW USED OFF-COVER EXAMPLES OF THE 1959 5¢ ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY WITH CENTER INVERTED.
There are about 200 mint Seaway Inverts in private hands. Quite a
few of the Seaway Inverts were actually used by the public before they realized what they had. With only 16 examples recorded on cover, it would seem even a used example would be far rarer than mint however catalog values seem to indicate to the
contrary. (Image1) |

AN ATTRACTIVE AND RARE
MULTIPLE OF THE 1959 5¢ ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY ISSUE WITH CENTER INVERTED.
The known 5¢ St. Lawrence Seaway inverts are believed to come from two sheets of 200. Of these, over 100 where found in postal stock and return to Ottawa for
destructions. The remaining examples were released to the public leaving a small number of used examples (with 16 on cover usages known) and about 200 mint examples. Very few multiples are still existence. (Image1) |
