G'day Blair,
no recognition from you either eh? Some for that topical, "spectacles on stamps" Hi Rodney: First stamp value is one dollar. ONE (yi) = ? in lower right. Character at lower left is dollars. Second one is five dollars. FIVE ( wu) = ? in lower right. Character at lower left is dollars. Third one is ONE HUNDRED dollars. (reading from right to left) ONE ( yi ) = ? in lower right PLUS HUNDRED (bai) = ? to the left of the yi PLUS the character to the left of the bai is dollars.

It's NC60 in my aging Gibbons Part 17 - the inscription on the top reads Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region Post (in a string of odd poetic names for the areas, not the standard map names). The first two of course seem to be Post Office Savings stamps of some sort. Tony Mac Gillycuddy |

Thanks Tony, you have been a great help. I'll place them back of book with my National Savings and recon http://cjoint.com/data/kgpNopGVc1.htm Curiously, my old Gibbons does not begin North China (NC) until number NC 283 I wonder, are you able to assist me with the differences between (Hong Kong~opt "China") SG12 and it's siblings with SG26. Is SG12 a~b emerald on just one surface? emerald surface/back? Thanks for any info. "Asia-translation" wrote in message ps.com... Rod wrote: G'day Blair, no recognition from you either eh?

Sorry, but I can't help with Hong Kong either. Chinese, amongst other languages, is just my day job. Tony Mac Gillycuddy |

Going the route "back to the future", I dug out my
old 1969 Gibbons simplified, and yes, starts at NC1 which thus coincides with 1990 Gibbons as NC283, so Gibbons must have had a major re-number under D: North China I accept that simplified is just the boy scouts catalogue, but will have to do until I find a specialised at auction. Just as a FYI , there was a gap between NC59 and NC 67 so my Mao stamp was not in either catalogue, probably as it had little , if any usage. Cheers.

I had a look at the used prices in my 27 year-old catalogue, and I see that all the used prices are higher than mint, though not remarkably (usually around 50%), except for the $500 imperf, which is priced the same mint and used. This set is the second last listed for the Shansi-Chahar-Hopei area (there was another $500 in a different design as the last from the area). Perhaps Gibbons had doubts about their genuineness, or listed them somewhere else in the maze. |

Maze indeed, and that's for the simplified. A good argument for keeping all stamps, until one has a decent catalogue, I notice all the Junk stamps have two plates, ie: dots beneath the "Cts", and squares beneath the "Cts" differing frame mandrels etc. The bilingual overprints, may come in black or red ink etc &etc. That should add at least another 100 catalogue numbers to the finite list, I'd say.
