Further Notes on Newfoundland Booklets by Dan Meyeraon

At the time that I wrote the article on Newfoundla~d Booklets that was published In the November Issue of "TOPICS,' there was one phase that was not covered at all. That was the question as to whether or not separate plates had been laid down for the printing of the booklet panes or whether the panes of 8 In the case of Type 1, or the panes of 4 In the case of Type 3, 4 and 4A, had been torn from the tops of the regular sheets Issued to the Post Office.

Cut•sory examination would lead th(J collector to believe that the stamps were t orn from the regular post office sheets since the panes In the booklet In all cases are perforated all around. The only bit of lnfot·matlon that would tend to make one believe other.wlee Is found In an article written for "STAMPS" by George B. Sloane. several years ago. In discussing the Type 4A Booklet, Mr. Sloane has the following to say, and I quite:

"In the second, and later printings, while the panes are again In blocks of 4, and perforated all around, It Is evident that the sta.mps were printed from plates specially designed for use In the production of etamp book-lets. The blocks show wider margins a ll at·ound the outside edges, and one booklet I have shows definite proof that the eta.mps are from a spe-cial plate. In this. a block of the 1c stamp shows not only the sheet mar-gin at top, but also an extra margin at the bottom. which Is wide and with no traces of any stamps below it. These special plates are probably eo arranged that the stamps are grouped In a series of double horizontal rows, with a sufficient space between each double row eo that when the printed stamps are perforated, and the stamps divided Into blocks, each block will have the necessary sheet margin at the top tor binding. Very likely there Is al~:~o a wldet· vertical spacing than usual separating each two vertical rows, which accounts for the wider margins at the sides of the stamps." Not being satisfied with the above logical explanation I wrote directly to

Whitehead Morris Ltd.: producet·s of the stamps In the Type 1 Booklet, and to John Dickinson & Co. Ltd., who subsequently secured the contract tor the stamps that appear In the Type 3, 4 artd 4A Booklets.

Both of the firms mentioned were kind enough to reply, and '.Yhltehead Morris Ltd. had this to say:

"In reply to your letter, I have made Inquiries regarding the Newfound-land Pictorial set of Postage Stamps. The booklets were made up of stamps cut from the standard sheets of 100 as supplied to the postal Au-thority; no special pl:1te W.l\l! engraved fot· the booklet order."

Your8 faithfully, For Whitehead Morrie Ltd. A. S. TILYARD

The answer that I received from John Dickinson & ·Co. Ltd., Is as follows : "In reply to your letter regarding the Newfoundland Stamps we regret that we cannot give you any definite Information since all our records were destroyed when we lost our offices by enemy action In 1941. As far as our memory goes, the stamps that were supplied In booklet form were taken from the regular sheets of 100 and no special plate.a we1·e prepared."

Yours faithfully for John Dickinson & Co. Ltd.

A. H. B. In conclusion, judging from t'he contents of the above two letters, it Is wtth

certainty that we can say that no special plates were laid down for the printing of the Newfoundland Booklet panes, and that all of the stamps used In the book-lets came directly from the standard sheets of 100 that were supplied to the Pos-tal Authorities.

A vote of thanks Is due to Whitehead Morris Ltd., and to John Dickinson & Co. Ltd., for taking the time and trouble to anewer a question that has long p oeed a phllatellc problem.

Letters to the Editor Congratu'latlons on the fine articles appearln&' In the TOPICS. You are

t-eally getting In some very Interesting material even for the Hrlous collector. I wu very Interested In W. W. Chadbournea article on the Prince Edward

Isla,nd covers. I'd like to write to him and compare a few notes. He did not saY anything about bisects or t·eglstered covers. Here'• 110methlng I just discovered while going over some stampless covers.

I have a stampless cover from Queenaton. C .. W., addressed to Charlotte-town with the PAID 3, Jarrett's No. 606, In black and Queenaton paid In black, on the face of the cover. Back.!ltamped: Clifton, Ont., June 28., St. John, N. B., June 29 ..... Charlotte-town. P.E.I .. July 1. The letter contained In the envelope Ia ack-nowledging a post office 01·der cor 6-9-7, apparently laaued at Cho.rlotte-town r. o. on May 27, 1872.

'l'wo questions nutut•ally at·lse: why were they using the PAID 8 up In On-tario In 1872 when stam),)s were being used since 1867 (1 know tbla was a com-.mon practice, but why?). Secondly: Why was the Poatmaater at Charlotte-town issuing money orders In pounds, shlllln&'a and pence when that province had adopted the decimal aystem on Apl'il 17, 1871, and the post office was selling the cente value stamps over the counter since January 1, 1872. I have several dated covers for the year 1872. one of them FebrUaJ'.Y. 20 bearing the cents value stampa. Maybe someone can provide the explanatioln Cor these queetlona.

L. Crosby .... Banff, Alberta
