Centennial Definitive oddity

Here is a question for Blair...

I finally bought a decent digital camera and was able to take a photo
of an interesting stamp from the Centennial Definitive series.

Can Blair - or anyone else remind me about the specifics of this
stamp?

Hello Pete:

There is no info in the 2006 Unitrade on this.

I would say that it is a bottom row single of
booklet pane Unitrade #.459a printed by
Canadian Bank Note Co. and not #459p
(printed by British American Bank Note Co)
as your scan says.

I do not have the specialist books on the
centennial issue.

Hi,
Randam stamps on a pane were rubber stamped with numbers
for security reasons and used by the Administratiive and Security
Section of Canada Post as an internal means of locating "mislaid"
stamps.
Stamps overprinted were 5c 2 bar Winnipeg tag 5959.
6c orange, perf 10, 2 bar Winnipeg
ll955, 5955, 5959, 9599, 9959.
The ll " ll955" is solid bar, not 1.
15c 5959.
These numbers have been faked.

Please tell us how you photographed the stamp under fluorescence.

Hi Douglas...

In looking back, I probably could have used any camera to do this.

I just set up the camera on a tripod, turned off the lights, turned
on the fluorescent lamp, and took the photo. Really quite easy to do. I
can get close (too close) to any subject. I was about 2cm's away. I just
angled the lamp until it looked good in the camera and took the picture.

I would think any camera, film or digital, would be able to do this.
Just much easier with digital.
