Hong Kong and Treaty Ports
|
|
Old mounted collection (from 3 different sources) that starts slowly with a "Three King" (Edward, GeoV, GeoVI) offering, the best being KEVII issues identified and lightly used. This slow start transitions quickly with several interesting pages of Treaty Port cancels, often with several examples including Amoy, Canton, Foochowfoo, Hankow, Macao, Swatow, Shangai/Shanghae with most being SON (socked on the nose) full value cancels. The lot continues with another grouping of pages for local issues for treaty ports and a bit of a mix of mint and used with duplication. In viewing the duplication, you get the sense that the collector was moving towards a more specialized collection. Finally, the group concludes with stamps from Amoy, Chefoo, Kewkiang, Foochow, Shanghai, with various printings and back of the book issues included. Estimate =
