=====================================

Hi Rodney:

First stamp value is one dollar.
ONE (yī) = 壹 in lower right.
Character at lower left is dollars.

Second one is five dollars.
FIVE ( wǔ) = 伍 in lower right.
Character at lower left is dollars.

Third one is ONE HUNDRED dollars.
(reading from right to left)
ONE ( yī ) = 伍 in lower right PLUS
HUNDRED (bǎi) = 佰 to the left of the yī PLUS
the character to the left of the bǎi is dollars.

Please note that Lin Sen was Chairman of the
National Government (Kuomintang) from 1931
until his death in 1943.

Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek held the real power.

The image on the third stamp (imho) is Chairman Mao.

The third stamp is indeed of Mao. 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.

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.

Can't explain the curious numbering in your old Gibbons. My 4th
edition of 1989 starts at NC1 and runs to NC385.

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

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.
