Catalogue of Canadian Railway Cancellations and Related
Railway Postmarks including Selected Waterway Postmarks , 2009
by Ross D. Gray. ‘The Catalogue of Canadian Railway Cancellations and
Related Railway Postmarks including Selected Waterway Postmarks’, the
much anticipated successor to the 1982 Ludlow RPO catalogue, is now available.
At 336 pages, it is packed with almost 30 years’ worth of additions to
the database of Canadian RPO knowledge, including many new listings and new
dates. In his Preface to the book, W.G. (Bill) Robinson, OTB, Chairman of the
Canadian RPO Study Group, writes, “Lew Ludlow’s 1982 Catalogue of
Canadian Railway Cancellations and Related Transportation Postmarks has been
in use now for 27 years. Lack of space to insert new listings into the numbering
sequence meant that train runs were no longer grouped together in alphabetical
or chronological order. It was becoming increasingly difficult to insert new
listings in any logical order and equally difficult for users to find after
new listings were numbered.”
The major change is that all listings have been renumbered, with the old catalogue
number shown in the right hand column of the page. Because the old listings
were usually sequential, in many cases it is relatively easy to go down the
right column to the old number, then across to the new one. Among the many other
improvements are listings that have been reorganized chronologically within
each run to present a more historical perspective, Registered cancellations
now listed with the contemporary regular postmarks, and the Rarity Factor changed
from a numerical format to an alphabetical scheme. Separating listings with
headers identifying the run will make it easier to find a particular postmark
in the larger sections. The Steamer section has been removed because it is being
included in a volume being prepared by others.
RPO collectors and the dealers who help them find material will be very pleased
to see the new catalogue. They all owe a great deal of thanks to the members
of the RPO Study Group Committee who made this book happen this year, and especially
to Ross Gray who pulled together thousands of pieces of new information and
blended it all together into the work being released today - Spiral Bound, 336

The Connoisseur Catalogue of Machin Stamps and Decimal Definitives - puts
emphasis on the explanation of why changes in printing process took place (when
known) and what effect those changes had to the stamps or booklets in question,
with, hopefully, enough description and illustrations of distinguishing features
to make identification of different printings easier. This catalogue is an attempt
to make what was even at that date a rapidly growing and increasingly complicated
subject. Over the years the catalogue has developed adding extra sections to
cater for a constantly evolving and expanding area of collection. It now encompasses
almost all areas of Great Britain Machin collecting (the Machin head has also
been used extensively on Commonwealth stamps, but these are outside the scope
of this publication). It tries to steer a mid course between the relatively
straightforward listings seen in general and one-country Great Britain catalogues
and the incredibly sophisticated and comprehensive handbooks and study circle
notes. This is the final print edition of 1995 (supplement was available in
2001) - glue bound b/w 7.5x6.5 497pg - 77.95
