Scrimgeour, Gray (1999). The Broken Circle Postmarks of Canada.

Gray Scrimgeour’s collection and exhibit presents, in conjunction with Gray’s numerous articles on the subject, an insight into the Broken Circle cancellations – a prime aspect of early Canadian Postal History which continued for many years. The collection as shown in this volume was awarded Gold at VICPEX 1998, in Victoria, B. C. and Gold with Felicitations of the Jury at the Edmonton Spring National Show 1999. After an introduction to the exhibit there follows an outline which shows Gray’s method of classification of the broken circle markings. Examples from across Canada are then presented by type and by province or territory.[PARA] K. Gray Scrimgeour was born in Vancouver, BC. He received a M.Sc.
