A pocket-sized 16-page "Elephant" brand stockbook holds a little treasure trove of early Hong Kong, mostly QV to KGVI, noting a number of "Treaty Port" cancels (e.g. Hankow, Swatow, Foochowfoo, Shanghai, Amoy). Noted a number that have perfins or company "chops", along with some nice stamps (of note, the low value Royal Wedding with a Yang-listed print variety, and the $10. KEVII high value, the latter which makes for a nice space filler as a revenue cancel was scrubbed and a postal cancel added afterwards). Furthermore, there is a nice used block of #61, the good $10.00 KGVI (#166) and the lot concludes with mint, hinged, common design issues for 1935 Silver Jubilee, 1937 Coronation and the 1949 UPU issue, and a few KGVI definitives and a pair of the 1963 Stampex show sheet. Not your typical offering. Estimate =
