S.C. 463
The Centennials Issue
This stamp issue is, without doubt, the most complex stamp issue produced during the Early Elizabethan Era. What began in 1967 as a single issue produced by the Canadian Bank Note Company soon mushroomed into a plethora of varieties with the advent of the British American Bank Note Company on the printing scene. Many of these changes occurred unannounced by Canada Post and have as yet to be properly dated.
Following the format established in the previous handbooks, The Centennials, 1967-1973 starts with a brief presentation of the technical apsects of the stamps including design, printers, plates, papers, and perforations . This information is followed by a comprehensive listing of the regular issues and their varieties. A detailed price list accompanies the main listing. The handbook concludes with a section containing illustrations of the main varieties of this interesting series of stamps. The Centennials, 1967-1973 retails at $5.95 while a matching binder for the series is available for $9.95. All orders for Canadian Stamp Handbooks should be addressed to the publisher:
