Written by Canada's most recognized postal historian, Winthrop Boggs. 38 pgs, illustrated, CC.Review (Topics, Nov-Dec/83):This study, by the eminent Winthrop S. Boggs, was published originally in the Collectors Club Philatelist in 1954. Boggs not only collated what was known about early American perforations and perforating machines, but made many new and interesting discoveries. Bogg's study is divided into three parts: 1) An examination of the early perforating machines used in America, their construction and mechanism; 2) An examination of the stamps perforated by such machines from 1857 to 1867, including the stamps of the United States, Canada, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Hawaii, Argentine Republic, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, and Salvador; 3) The occurrence of varieties in the perforating done by the machines, and the cause of such varieties.Because most of us take perforations for granted, we might benefit from this book.
