I think that the two stamps are not similar.

Lou wrote: I agree the two “stamp” painting seem dissimilar, but I’m sure the designer was only putting rough suggestions of the #871b stamp on the enveloper, and not going for accurate reproduction.  I don’t think he expected anyone to try and identify the stamps— why would anyone be that crazy?

The New Zealand Teddy Error

In 1996, New Zealand Post produced a stamp issue in relation to Children's Health. The issue was supposed to be a standard surcharged issue, with a denomination of 40c and a surcharge of 5c. The issue was focused on the safety of children, and the stamps, designed by Helen Casey, and printed by the Dutch security printer Enschede, shows a child in a child restraint, and a teddy bear accompanying it, wearing a seat belt.

https://staticapp.icpsc.com/icp/loadimage.php/mogile/1623227/b5fd899d5384e0922d3d22d87ceeca11/image/jpeg https://staticapp.icpsc.com/icp/loadimage.php/mogile/1623227/c3874c2a075272decac48031728e53b0/image/jpeg

From the stamp it is clear that the child and the Teddy bear are sitting in the back seat, and are facing the driving direction. This is in violation of the laws of New Zealand, where children must be facing the opposite direction in a car, as a security measure. This resulted in a last minute withdrawal of the original stamp, and the stamp was then redesigned, so the Teddy bear was no longer part of the stamp. All the copies of the original stamps were recalled by the New Zealand Post, and the error was not supposed to be publicized. The stamp was also printed as self-adhesive coil stamps in New Zealand, and a small number of these stamps were distributed and sold over the counter in Rotorua and Auckland before it was recalled. It is believed that about 1000 of these incorrect stamps were sold.

The Health sheetlets were printed by the Dutch security printer Johan Enschede and they also had printed sheetlets with CAPEX overprint, which were meant for the CAPEX exhibition in Canada. It was believed that all the sheetlets with the erroneous stamps were destroyed after they arrived in New Zealand and both sheetlets were printed and issued without Teddy Bear on the stamps. However, about one year later one set of these sheetlets, which contained the recalled stamps, showed up at an auction in Amsterdam. An investigation, on behalf of the NZ post, revealed that the Dutch security printer Enschede had unknowingly taken out a few copies of the original sheetlets, and included them in Christmas presents for the employees of the company. It is not known how many of these sheetlets survived Christmas, but they surely became one of the rarest New Zealand philatelic items: the withdrawn self-adhesive stamp is valued now at about 1.600 Euro, the "non-issued" sheetlets however are valued at 12.000 Euro each in the latest Michel catalogue.

(Stampworld).

 

Lou wrote to me when i sent him the above: Why do you think it is a SoS?  Do you consider it a Type B?  To me, it is just a revised design of a recalled stamp. The designers of most Type Bs purposely took components of a previously issued stamp and reworked it into another design for a specific reason such as an anniversary, but in this case, the stamp was reworked to show the child in a correct seating, and not a "new" issue.

With so many real SoS being issued, why look for them where they don't exist.

 

Lou is probably rights (as always…) but i decided to put it here anyway – it is a good story, isn't it?

100th Anniversary of Pigeongrams

 Inside #1435-6: 1899 Local StampO (B)

Great Barrier Pigeon-Gram Service

Pigeons carried correspondence between Great Barrier Island and the New Zealand mainland for about a decade in the early 20th century.

Pigeongrams, or 'flimsies' as they were called, were used by the Great Barrier and Marotiri Island pigeon post service around the turn of the nineteenth century. This example was printed for a special function at which the Earl of Ranfurly was present to raise funds for a War Veteran's Home. Prior to this message, only one copy is recorded with this cancellation, and that is in the usual purple ink, unlike the black used here.

Isolation - Before the pigeon post service was established, the only regular connection between the community on Great Barrier Island (90 kilometres northeast of Auckland) and the mainland was provided by a weekly coastal steamer. The island's isolation was highlighted when the ship Wairarapa was wrecked off its coast in 1894, with the loss of 121 lives, and the news took several days to reach the mainland.

Pigeon postal service - The pigeon post service began between the island and Auckland in 1897. Soon there were two rival pigeongram companies, both of which issued distinctive and attractive stamps. These were effectively the world's earliest airmail stamps, pre-dating the first recorded aeroplane flight by several years.
Initially, the service operated only from Great Barrier Island to Auckland, the reverse route being considered uneconomic. On the island, pigeongram agencies were established at Port Fitzroy, Okupu, and Whangaparara. Birds were sent over to the island on the weekly steamer and flew back to Auckland with up to five messages per bird written on tissue paper and attached to their legs.

On #1721d is a picture frame with a 40c stamp on stamp with the identical design. Since the issue has 40c stamps, it is probable that the reproduced stamp is an essay of an unadopted value. The 90c sheetlet and strips are available separately, while the FDC has both 40c and 90c strips.

1855 Full Face Queen - A consignment of New Zealand's first-ever stamps, the 'London Prints' of the 'Full Face Queens', was sent to New Zealand from England and entered circulation on 20 July 1855. In keeping with British tradition, they featured a portrait of a youthful Queen Victoria.

1891 Government Life - In 1891, a difference of opinion over franking charges between the Government Life Insurance Department and the Post Office led to New Zealand's longest-lasting 'unofficial' stamps, and one of the first examples of postal advertising. The Government Life stamps - distinctive for their lighthouse image - were valid only for that Department's postal transactions.

1901 Universal Postage - The arrival in 1901 of 'universal penny postage' (for domestic and international mail) heralded a new age of letter writing. Halving the previous two-penny postal rate galvanised New Zealanders to write letters, and they rapidly became the preferred method of communication.

In 1988 it was the obvious - and perhaps the only acceptable - image for the first round stamp ever issued by New Zealand Post.

80th Anniversary of Children’s Health stamps

New Zealand Post has been a proud supporter of Children’s Health Camps since 1929. Every year, we’ve issued a range of stamps, with each stamp carrying a surcharge that is then donated to the Health Camps to help them in their work. In 2009 we celebrate the 80th anniversary of Children’s Health stamps with three new designs that each tell a story using an image of a stamp from the past.

50c + 10c surcharge – gummed

The 1996 Children’s Health issue took a new direction, aligning its message with a campaign entitled ‘Children’s Health – Road Safety’. The issue proved controversial, with feedback on the design (and particularly on the use of a child restraint seat) leading to a new design and a complete reprint. Unfortunately, a small quantity of the incorrectly designed stamps found its way into the market.

The 1932 ‘Hygiea’ stamp was the first to be issued with the surcharge inscribed for ‘Health’ rather than ‘Charity’ – although the image of the Goddess of Health attracted more attention, generating considerable controversy in the philatelic journals of the day. The first two sheets to come off the printing press were presented to the Governor-General of New Zealand, Lord Bledisloe, when he paid an official visit to the Children’s Health Camp in Otaki.

In 1943, New Zealand’s first triangular stamps were issued – an immensely popular innovation that led to long queues at Post Offices throughout the country on the day they were issued. The triangular stamp for our 80th anniversary celebration features Her Majesty Queen (then Princess) Elizabeth II. It was one of two stamps issued in 1943, the other depicting Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret.

Christmas in New Zealand has been a prevalent theme, and the 1979 Christmas stamp featured a Pohutukawa tree in bloom along the Thames-Coromandel coast. With its brilliant display of red flowers in the summer, it is often referred to as the New Zealand Christmas tree.

#790 1983 Inside #2335: New Zealand #790P

Modern interpretations of the traditional Christmas story have regularly recurred in our Christmas stamp issues. The Southern Cross and the Star of Bethlehem were depicted on the 1983 Christmas stamp and are the focus of this year’s $2.40 stamp.

#1672 2000 Inside #2336: New Zealand #1672P

Continuing the traditional Christmas theme, the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus were beautifully illustrated on the 2000 Christmas stamp, and nowappear on the $2.90 stamp.

150th Anniversary of the First Stamp Printed In New Zealand

 Inside #2575: New Zealand #P1O

Lou wrote: On January 1, 1873 the rate for newspaper mail delivery in New Zealand was lowered to ½d, and a special newspaper stamp was issued to pay this fee.

The stamp was designed by the Government Printer, John Davies, based on the current 1870 Gt Britain newspaper stamp. A woodblock die was carved in Melbourne, Australia, and W.H. Kirk Co. in Wellington made the electrotypes from it for the printing plates. This was the first stamp to be produced from design thru printing in New Zealand.

Thanks to Lou Guadagno
