New Brunswick

To my knowledge, New Brunswick has only one stamp that has re-entries, and that is the controversal Charles Connell stamp of 1860. Back in 1991 I had the extreme pleasure of having a full Proof sheet of 100 in my possession to examine at my leisure. It was from the Christie's 1990 sale of The American Bank Note Company Archives of British North America, held in New York in September of that year. Kasimir Bileski was the purchaser of this proof sheet, among others, and he graciously sent it to me for study before breaking it up for sale. Incredibly, I discovered 42 re-entries and one retouch on the sheet. Three of the re-entries were of Major proportions and I present details of each of them here. The strongest re-entry is truly delightful, and I was fortunate to acquire a gorgeous copy of it on card at a Maresch auction a couple of years ago.
