Interasia Auctions Limited Sale 78 China and other Asian Countries
Interasia’s June 23-24 auctions of China, Hong Kong and Asian stamps and postal history will take place at the Habour Plaza North Point in Hong Kong. The two day 2,000 lot sale includes another offering of China and Hong Kong stamps and postal history, with important Ching Dynasty and Republic, substantial postal history with an original missionary correspondence, Taiwan, Local Posts, People’s Republic of China and Liberated Areas, Hong Kong with a specialized study of Postal Fiscals and Revenues, Treaty Ports, and Macau.
Day 2: 24 June 2019
Day two (June 24) includes Local Posts (lots 2086-2116) with a set of the rare Shanghai Double Dragon essays with the values in English lettering rather than Arabic numerals. Taiwan (lots 2117-2156) features rare unused multiples of the 1950 Flying Geese surcharges with the top three values in blocks of six (the two high values with sheet margins). The Foreign Post Offices in China (lots 2163-2302) are highlighted by a splendid array of combination covers, the large part of which are from the Mick Goldsmith collection. Following on from this is the correspondence of Dr. Willis Clarke Noble (lots 2254-2302), a late 19th century American missionary in Paoting who established a public health service there, which comprises mail from both the U.S.A. and China during the 1894-98 period, with much of postal history interest. In addition, there is a fine section of postal stationery (lots 2303-2360). The morning session concludes with a small but interesting section of Thailand (lots 2450-2463).
The Day two (June 24) afternoon session is devoted to the People’s Republic of China and the Liberated Areas, as has been our tradition on the second day. There is a fine representative section of the Liberated Areas, while the issued stamps of the P.R.C. are well represented throughout and showcased by the unissued large format “Whole Country is Red” cancelled by Liaoning c.d.s., one of four recorded used examples of this great rarity.
