I have a few cinderellas. Bileski printed out labels for mailings transferred to/from the USA. I have them somewhere. I'll have to search for those. I recently bought these upper-left blank corner blocks celebrating BABN's 100 years of printing in Canada. I was surprised it wasn't in any of the 19 pages in here! Same with Bileski's labels... |

Hi Pete: Thanks for sharing the image of the BABNC stamps. Very nice set. The Bileski labels are the Winnipeg-Pembina private post stamps that he used during postal strikes, from 1975-1984. I'm surprised you couldn't find them. So here they are.

Maybe YOU were surprised, but I certainly wasn't! Thanks - the info about those Bileski labels had evaporated from my mind. It's been a while since I had thought of them! |

I wonder what was supposed to be pasted into those grey areas! I think that, cindycan2, is a really good question! Doing a quick web search, I was able to confirm my suspicion that the dates just below the two grey areas correspond to the birth and death dates for BP (Baden-Powell). I wonder if they were intentionally left blank? It's hard for me to imagine what images one would put just above someone's birth and death dates! |

Oooo, those Accident Prevention labels are nice! I used to art direct a health and safety magazine for a number of years, and I can certainly appreciate them.
And of course our own Jack is now off working in OH&S, is he not? Certainly this will ring some bells for him.

Newfoundland Union Dues stamps
The Newfoundland Protective Association of Shop and Office Employees (NPASOE) was founded in 1938, in response to wage cuts and lay offs due to the economic conditions of the Great Depression. Headquarters were located in St. John’s, NL. Negotiations between the NPASOE and the Importers & Employers Association resulted in standardized pay rates and improved working conditions. The NPASOE was in operation at least until 1961. Stamps were used to show monthly dues paid, and were affixed to annual membership cards.

While we are talking Newfoundland, there is one Newfoundland revenue in Van Dam's Catalog that's worth a FORTUNE. The three "Transportation Tax" revenues of 1927 ($1 in green, $2 in red, and $3 in blue), even in 1987, cataloged from $2500 to $5500 Canadian Dollars EACH, mint or used. The $1 green is the most valuable.
They are square, with a caribou or elk dominating the center, and "Transportation Tax" very prominent across the bottom. No idea what they were used for. They are well-printed with a handsome design.

The $1 green is the most valuable. They are square, with a caribou or elk dominating the center, and "Transportation Tax" very prominent across the bottom. No idea what they were used for. They are well-printed with a handsome design. From an older Revenue Catalog NEWFOUNDLAND TRANSPORTATION TAX
On 21 July, 1927, the General Assembly of Newfoundland passed ''An Act to Incorporate the Newfoundland Tourist and Publicity Commission and for Obtaining Statistics of Tourist Traffic, and for other Purposes", 18 George V, Chapter 1. This act is also known by its authorized short title of "The Tourist Commission Act, 1927".
This act created a Commission to whom was assigned the power and duty to promote and develop tourist traffic in and to the Colony. As quoted from the Revenue and Accounts provisions, this act required that: "Every steamship owner (including the
Newfoundland Railway) engaged in the business of transporting passengers to any place outside the Colony had to regularly furnish the Commission with a statement regarding the number of passengers to whom first-class transportation outside the Colony was provided, and for each such passenger, was to pay to the Commission the amounts in accordance with the amount of a ticket's purchase price.
Payments by Companies or persons under this act were made by purchasing
from the Commission adhesive stamps of suitable values, and by affixing an appropriate denomination of such stamps to the ticket issued to the passenger.
All sums received by the Commission were deposited in the Bank of Montreal in a Trust Account in the joint names of the Minister of Finance and the Commission, subject to the cheque of either the Minister or the Commission.
Survivors of this series of stamps are extremely rare.
Transportation Tax stamps comprised three values, each engraved and printed by Whitehead, Morris & Company of London in sheets of nine (3 x 3). All were perforated 14.
Initial issues were made available on 28 July 1927. The Tourist Commission Act, 1927, was eventually repealed by Act 35 of 1935, which was made effective on 19 August of that year. Stamp remainders were destroyed later that same year, on 19 November.

And all I have to say is, 'WHAT AN AMAZING THREAD!' (sorry for yelling.)

I know it is a tedious and time-consuming job, but it is a real service to all of us, and will make TSF a better resource for collectors in the long term, so thank you for taking the time to do it!  |

Really, I'm happy to do it BG. There actually was nothing better to do last night. And it didi allow me to stroll down memory lane here.
I look for missing images all the time and try to replace them. So if anyone sees any of mine that have gone astray, please do send me a message and I'll do my best to rectify the problem.

Hey Brightonpete, those BA Bank Note cindys are wonderful.
My brother worked there for many years as a designer, until they unceremoniously turfed him out for someone younger. Sadly they are no longer around. But my brother still is...SO THERE!

Thank you jamesw for the information. Another Ration book to search for !! Below is a label commemorating the Centenary of Saguenay in the District of Quebec. Presumably it is depicting the first settlers arriving in 1838.  |

for the Saguenay stamp:
In June 1838, under the direction of William Price, a group of 21 lumbermen sailed up the Saguenay River and established the first lumber camps at Anse-Saint-Jean and Grande-Baie. The camps would become permanent settlements, and the beginnings for an unprecedented population migration and expansion into what would become known as the Saguenay-Lac St-Jean region. In 1938, the 100th aniversary of the colonisation of the region was celebrated. A single stamp printed in black on white, has been seen that celebrates the anniversary.

Indeed a letter security seal from Quebec. The Fédération de Québec des unions régionales de caisses populaires Desjardins was formed in 1932 as a centralized, representational and responsible management of the different Desjardins banking cooperatives.
The coat of arms of the Fédération was adopted in October 1960.
A second larger variety has been spotted on cover dated 1972.

I'm on vacation this week, so I went the the wife and daughters (who were all home) downtown to the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, so see a couple of exhibits we were interested in. One that we stumbled on was a room full of WWI photos. The Gallery apparently has a collection of over 500 First World War photo albums that have been contributed over the years. These were from both sides of the conflict and included surveillance photos and images of soldiers, airplanes, battlefields, you name it. Fascinating stuff (even the wife admitted). I found these in one album on exhibit, and HAD to take a pic of it for the forum.    I guess you just never know where they'll show up. |

more from the Field Guide... Émilie Tavernier Gamelin (1800-1851) knew hardship from an early age. She was the youngest of 15 children, of which 9 died before reaching adulthood. Her mother died when she was 4 years old. When her father died when she was 14, she was taken into the home of her aunt. She married Jean-Baptiste Gamelin in 1823, and the couple had three children who died as infants. After her husband died in 1827, she took up charitable work to assuage her grief. She established a shelter for single and elderly women, known as the Asylum of Providence. These activities eventually led her to found the Sisters of Providence of Montreal in 1843. She died during the cholera epidemic of 1851, leaving a congregation of 70 caregivers lending support to over a thousand women and children. Today the Sisters of Providence serve in nine different countries throughout the world. In 1943, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of its founding, the organization issued at least two commemorative stamps.
  printed in blue on silver paper, featuring Mary on throne being worshipped by two individuals, with text “Charitas Christi Urget Nos - F. C. S. P. 1843-1943” and “Sisters of Charity of Providence Centenary”. Each corner of the stamp has a monogram: SV in upper left (Saint Vincent de Paul - the Institute’s patron Saint); IB in upper right (Ignace Bourget, founder of the Institute); MG in lower left (Mother Gamelin, foundress of the Institute); and MP in lower right (Mother Praxede, Mother General in 1943).
