Malayan States / Japanese Occupation
|
|
Stockbook with a mini-hoard of several hundred mint stamps, with a range of overprints applied during the Japanese occupation in WWII. Included are revaluations, different colour overprints, and larger blocks to allow for plating with the occasional plate number seen in the salvage. Unchecked for minor printing variations in the overprints. The appearance of the stamps is generally good, but these items originated in a humid environment, and gum toning can be expected. A small sample indicates that many, but not all, of the stamps are never hinged with duplication of up to 45 examples of a single issue. Negri-Sembilan (catalogue $167.00), Pahang (catalogue $383.00), Perak (catalogue $173.00), Selangor (catalogue $158.00), Straits Settlements (catalogue $67.00). Total 2023 Scott US$948.00 =
