Need help identifying a Chinese stamp booklet
I bought an unusual Chinese stamp booklet a while back. Unlike most
stamp booklets that have a few stamps with a cover around it designed to minimize packaging, this one has a sheet of eight stamps with a ton of fancy packaging. It has a lot of writing in Chinese characters that are beyond my understanding. Can anyone help me figure out exactly what these stamps are? It's possible they're not even postal stamps, but were intended for some other usage. http://www.aidsonstamps.com/2006.htm#china Most of the images of the Chinese booklet are linked to more detailed scans. Thanks! --Stephen |

Tony Mac Gillycuddy Ahh, thank you. After poking around I see that the stamp is Scott 3261. The labels can be personalized. Is there anyone out there able to help me translate the block of text next to the stamps in the booklet? I would like to put a translation on my website. I would be glad to provide a credit and/or link by the translation if the translator would like one. |

http://www.aidsonstamps.com/2006.htm#china I like best the Liberia stamp with a man killing aids viruses with a throwing spear. While the most primitive, in a sense, I think it is the cutest and shows the right attitude of active aggression against the virus rather than passive victimhood. I wish its scan were a bit bigger to match the others, or is it really such a small stamp? |

I would be glad to provide a credit and/or link by the translation if the translator would like one. It looks like the GCDC is an organsiation with formidable credentials.

The centre has offices in 21 counties and maintains a hospital. The GCDC is an organisation under the purview of the provincial Department of Health. The GCDC has various responsibilties under its remit including the control, monitoring, testing and evaluation of diseases. It is also respobsible directing health education, practical research, technical management and treatment of diseases. The mission of the GCDC is to implement emergency response plan for health related incidents in the province, as well as the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, local illnesses, food poisioning, (the effects of ) work related dangers, chemical poisoning and nuclear radiation.

I wish its scan were a bit bigger to match the others, or is it really such a small stamp? Three things. First, I should mention to anyone following this thread that I have moved the China stamp on my site. The new link is he www.aidsonstamps.com/personal.htm#booklet You can still get there via the old link, but you'll have to click on an extra button. Second, that Liberia stamp is indeed fun. The stamp itself is a good size, considerably larger than the typical American stamp. It's a lousy scan -- sorry about that. I fully intend to put up better scans of everything on my website someday, but there's so much else to do for my collection in the meantime (and so little time in which to do it!). And third, thank you very much for the translation, Richard! I'll go put it on my website. Thank you! |
