Balasse lists 3 colour variations - green, dark green and green-yellow, none of which this appears to match. It does note there is a proof reprint in 1929, which it lists as #110 E2 in black. Does make me wonder if this one could be one of those that has bleached... Here's the back, still shows some gum , but if bleached I suppose it could have been re-gummed.... however, if bleached, I would think there would be some bleed through onto the back>>> whatever, this it, it's curious!  I have a few others (green0 without delivery selvedge... maybe I'll subject a few to various ...'agents" bwaaahahahahaha  thanks for you comments Chris! |

While doing some organizing and sorting for another page, in among my 1912 Coat of Ar,s/Standing Lion,. Albert I series, COB 108 -125, I have this #110, but the color is wrong (either dark green or green-yellow) ... a changeling? othere than a hing stain on the back, it looks pretty normal from the back thoughts? 
There are a great many lions rampant on stamps, but this is glorious. |

Use of the roller cancell, this is a saving document. Caisse Génerale D'epargne Value 1 Fr. you would go the Bank with the document and they will save your 1 Fr. Later it was posible to go to the postoffice to make a sving deposit. |

Here is an other saving document, this was used in schools, the goverment in Belgium wanted to learn children and the population in general to learn the importanse making a life saving, later you could also have lifeensurance documents, the Belgium state wanted the people of Belgium to feel safe and this was a way of doing it, maybe because there was a high unemployment.

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

stainlessb As I was reading this thread, I came across your page with various COB 317-324 stamps depicting King Albert I. I picked two with some particularity. One has a perforation F. from a shipping company in Anvers (Antwerpen): "Furness-Shipping Agency C°". Established in 1912, they perforated stamps untill WWII. Even if this is not a rare perfin, it's still less common than those of Bank and Insurance companies. This company still exist under the name Newman Shipping & Agency N.V. The second one as a cancel from the International Bruxelles exhibition from 1935. The world's fair was held between 27 April and 6 November 1935. Your cancel is from september. As it's on a 10 Francs stamp (a huge value for the time being), it was probably removed from a souvenir made by a collector.  For this exhibition, the Belgian post made a propaganda issue of 4 stamps in july 1934. One year before the event.

Thank you phildug I had not noticed that! I typically set perfins aside,as I still havent decided whether to have on the page of the issue, or separately with other perfins. Do you rely on Ancope as a reference for Perfins? I find that a great many listings in it of companys tthat had offices in Belgie Cheers Stan |

stainlessb Ancoper is the reference for French Perfins. Of course some Belgian Company had office in France (and thus used French stamp with perfins identical on those used on belgian stamps) and vice versa (French Company with office in Belgium, like the famous Credit Lyonnais). So for a couple of belgian perfin you may find the identfication in Ancoper. But for Belgium I use and old catalogue from 1986: "Les timbres perforés de Belgique", Edited by M. Antoine. Even if incomplete and with a lot of "unkown user", it remain helpfull. If you have belgian perfin that you want to identify, just send me a scan.

CL and Red Star Line are self explanatory, but included, in the event you have specialised info on each  |

So Far, this is what is on the catalogue: B&C= Balser & Cie, Bruxelles, 1884-1914. It was a Business enterprises, import and export with Belgian Congo. CA= Crédit Anversois (Bank multiples offices in Bruxelles, Anvers (Antwerpen) and other towns) 1895-1924 cl and CL = Crédit Lyonnais. This bank has numerous offices in Belgium with various CL perfins EMC= Not in the catalogue. I also looked at EHC, but also no match. FC= Forges de Clabecq, iron industry in Clabecq, with office in Tubize,Liège and Bruxelles. 1934-1985 Key Logo= Distillerie "la clé" De Meeus, large distillery with offices in Anvers, Liège and Bruxelles. 1883-1925 PG = papeteries Godin, Huy, 1912-1965 R = Société Anonyme d'Ougrée-Marihaye, iron and cement industry, Ougrée, 1895-1957 Red Star Line = no comment SF = Schott Frères (Schott Brothers), Merchand in Bruxelles, 1898-1904 TA = User unknwon, Bruxelles, 1936 -1950. The last One remain unidentified, I found no VG or AG who could match this perfin in the catalogue. May be is it a partial perfin with missing holes? |

Thank you Sir ! Fabulous I'll name my scan images , and set an album page . I am familiar with "partial perfins" I'll name them thus, with a red flag. Note to self "papeteries" = Stationers. |

Just to illustrate, for the Key logo from distillery Meeus, here are one piece from their juniper liquor where the key logo is well seen, and a picture postcard with the main distillery near Anvers (Antwerpen, Antwerp), just before WWI   |

rod222 I found the V-G perfin. It was well in the catalogue. It's from Vertongen-Goens S.A., a rope and cable factory in Termonde (Dendermonde). They used various V.G. / VG / V-G perfins. Yours was in use between 1920 and 1929.
