My "sur-prize" contest

[KurtS]

It seems I lucked out again on Latman's contest, so I'll pass my second win on to another collector--that's the "sur-prize"   Not to exclude anybody, but if you've already won on Latman's contest, you can take a break, OK? 

Here's the question: in 1937, due to work overloads in tooling the new George VI obverses, another mint was contracted to make the master die tools for the Canada 10c "Bluenose"  reverse. Name the mint--each person gets 2 guesses (in the same post). Good luck! 

clue:

[latman]

Hey Kurt, I'm only Latman here, no 100. And does that exclude me as well? 

[KurtS]

LOL!  If you won, that would certainly save us both some shipping. 

[AdamL]

I know nothing about Canada's mints. How 'bout Calgary and Toronto. LOL

[CoinCrusader42]

I think I remember this one.

Paris Mint.

That's based on memory.  I don't know where I would look it up.

 

[KurtS]

I think I remember this one.
Paris Mint.

Impressive knowledge from memory!  Congrats! 
Thanks everyone for playing!

Ever since college days (45 years ago), I have spent parts of my "free" times looking through the standard books on U.S., British, Canadian, and Australian coins.  Some of the things I learned has stuck with me.

I am thrilled to have won a prize and look forward to receiving it.

In the spirit of contests, I will continue the tradition with my own contest.  I will try and get it posted tomorrow (Thursday).

Thanks for the contest.

How do you want to do this Kurt? Are you going to pick the prizes and the send one to CoinCrusader, or are you going to give your second pick to him and I will send it to him? Either way is fine by me.

[CoinCrusader42]

Thanks again guys!

I PMed my mailing address to Kurt.

I look forward to starting my own contest.

 

[Triggersmob]

Well done Gary.
It's amazing what sits around in the back of the old brain box. LOL

[KurtS]

How do you want to do this Kurt?

At first, I thought it might be quick to send it to Gary direct, once the prizes are made known.
However, grouping both prizes in one package to me will probably 1/2 your shipping expense. I'll then forward the prize to Gary. 
Congrats again!

[Humpybong]

Good onya Gary.

1 prize each for the first five correct answer to my question---
  in the movies--what actor played "simon templar" the most times?

       YOUR SERVANT AND GOOD LUCK--THE TEMPLAR!

[edix]

Roger Moore was my favorite Simon Templar!
But George Sanders is likely the most in the movies who played Templar.

[Paint Your Wagon]

George Sanders would be the correct answer for movies

Here the series was called The Saint and it was stricktly Roger Moore in the TV series

Tx I liked Ivanho I seem to remember that after the movie there was a tv series
This goes with memories like the Ponderosa and little Joe and the Texas Rangers

Today I received the prize from Templar, a very nice piece of Lincolniana in the spirit of the times.
Very happy to have it, much thanx!

[CoinCrusader42]

The movie "Ivanho" brought back a memory or two.

When it was playing in my hometown of Grand Junction (Colorado), I so much wanted to see it.  But, I had to go to Delta (my present home) because my Dad had to referee a basketball tournament.

I was very young, but it broke my heart not to see the movie.

To this day I don't think I've seen it!!

 

[EgCollector]
