Canadian Album For Precancels?

Not sure if I have heard that term 'preperfs' in reference to 'perfinned' revenues before? A new one to me - again :)

Bujutsu,
It's not just revenues, but any stamp that it is both a precancel and a perfin.

I tend to use a good stock book rather than a preprinted album for small topics as precancels and perfins. Allows for easy expansion and revision and doesn't leave you with any questions about mounts, hinges etc. It's an idea.

Nice addition, backroads.

Thanks,

Rod: just a guess on my part but your customs stamp with its DM perfin may be Denison Mines, which was a large uranium mining outfit based in Elliot Lake, Ontario, until the ore ran out. They almost disappeared during the clean-up years but have been slowly resurrecting themselves again through both uranium and potash.

Thanks cynical,
i'll keep that as an option,
but I was told by a Canadian, that it was Dennison
the makers of stamp hinges.

Rod,

I thought Dennison Mfg. Co. was located in Framingham, Mass. If so, why would they precancel Canadian stamps?

The DM CO perfin is Dennison Manufacturing, they had offices in Montreal.

Phew! thanks for chipping in :)
I had no answer, other than my Canadian source
was/is very reliable.

Just to confirm Rods Guess
it is indeed the perfin of Dennisson mines, The head office In Montreal,Quebec.

chasa and djd,

Thanks for clarifying Dennison's Canada connection -- and for restoring my faith in Rod's encyclopedic knowledge!

To add to the confusion which I helped create I give you this link:

Here is a scan from the 4th Edition of 'Canadian Stamps with Perforated Initials', by J.C. Johnson & G. Tomasson.



The perfin previously shown is assigned 'D6', and issued by the Canadian (Montreal) office of 'Dennison Manufacturing Co.' It has a rarity factor of 'G' which means that 1001-3000 are known. The more rare 'DM/Co' perfin is 'D5' which is an 'A' (1-3 known) and issued by their USA Office in Boston, MA.

Tomiseksj (Steve) asked earlier: "I thought Dennison Mfg. Co. was located in Framingham, Mass. If so, why would they precancel Canadian stamps?

Personnel based in the USA Office would travel up to Canada on various business trips, and prior to their departure they would be provided Canadian stamps to use for business purposes. The USA Office would use their Perfin machine on these stamps to minimize theft and misuse.

This thread originated as 'Precancels' which was the reason for my initial interest, and then it took a diversion into Perfins.....

Now back to Precancels. I could not find any Album pages for Canadian Precancels so I used MS Word to create my own. It now encompasses three albums totaling about 400 pages!

Here is one of the pages.
