Scott #201-336   1933-1953


  Re-entries following the Medallion Issue are on the whole much more subtle than previous eras. This can be largely attributed to advances in technology. The strongest re-entry of this period has to be the Major Re-entry on Scott #226, the 50¢ Parliament Buildings of 1935. Everything else seen so far is generally much more minor.

13¢ Royal Yacht

Sharp Re-entry

There are numerous positions showing re-entries such as this one, but this is one I have been able to plate, having it in an imprint block. Note the doubling in BRITANNIA.

Scott #218  1935

Geo V Pictorial Issue

Re-entry

While certainly not significant, this delightful little re-entry shows sharp doubling of the curved line within the scroll at right-centre, along with several veins of the leaf below it, the border of the portrait oval to the left of it, and the bottom of the portrait oval itself, including some of the diagonal lines below the King's medals.

This stamp was in the collection of Hans Reiche when photographed.

10¢ R.C.M.P.

Plate Position ?

Re-entry

Similar to the above Yacht, here we have doubling of R.C.M.P., the vertical frameline to the left, and the blades of grass above. There are numerous examples of this re-entry, as well.

Scott #224  1935

13¢ Charlottetown

Strong Re-entry

This re-entry shows strong extensions of the horizontal lines in the curved design to the left of the leaf. Other spots of doubling can be found in surrounding areas.

 

*19

Scott #224  1935

13¢ Charlottetown

Re-entry

This stamp shows slight extensions in the same area as the above stamp, but also doubling of the upper half of the left frameline. In the lower picture, extensions of the horizontal lines in the design above the 'T' of POSTES can be seen.

Scott #224  1935

13¢ Charlottetown

Minor Re-entry

This stamp shows slight doubling of the upper frameline.

Scott #225  1935

20¢ Niagara Falls

Plate Position 1UR35

Re-entry

Here we have doubling on the left side of the design, including POSTES and its frame, the inner vertical frameline of the central image, and the inner vertical line behind the leaves. This stamp can be found with selvedge attached on the right, as it is from position 35 on the pane of 50.

 

 


*22

Scott #226  1935

50¢ Parliament, Victoria B.C.

The Major Re-entry

Plate 1, LR Pane, Position #25

This is the well-known Major Re-entry on the 1935 50¢ Parliament. Sharp doubling can be seen in the oval above CANADA and in the bottoms of 'ANAD.' Often overlooked is the doubling found near the bottom of the design above CENTS.

This re-entry is usually regarded as the 'last' of the majors. The re-entries that followed for years to come are quite minor in comparison, although I would say the doubling of POSTAGE on the 6¢ Pearson booklet stamp is now a true rival.

 


*23

Scott #226  1935

50¢ Parliament, Victoria B.C.

Minor Re-entry

While most collectors know about the Major Re-entry on this issue, many are not aware of the minor ones that exist as well. On this one, almost the entire left edge of the design is slightly doubled, including the 'P' of POSTES and the inner edge of the curved white bar at left-centre.

Re-entry
