I just picked up a $5 KGV with what looks to be a postal cancel, Die II on chalky paper, Sc201: Lovely. Singapore Pmk 1936 Die ll = above "E" of postage, the frame bar curves a little towards the flower ornament. Die 1 is square. There is 1 Steiner page that is going to have a gap..........the $500 stamp is currently $37,000 |

Unchecked for watermark but most likely SG#240b. It's late so there may also be something I have not seen and will come across tomorrow. So an Edit is not out of the question !!  All good fun though. So assuming what I said above is correct.............. Wmk: Multiple Script CA, Perf 14. Printed on Chalk-Surfaced Paper.  |

Others of the 1906 overprints on Labuan stamps were shown earlier in this thread. Here are a couple of others, used. There is so much to look for, the mind boggles !! SG# 143, 150  |

All great stuff, Michael ( Londonbus1), and much of it better than what I have! Too bad we didn't have more time, as some of this material would never have made it back to Israel with you!! |

Ah yes, but we must look at this from another angle. If you had 'taken' all the good stuff from me I would not be sitting here now having copious amounts of fun would I. On the other hand, if you had, I might not be considering a return to Postage Stamps !!  Oh well. There's always next time. But in the meantime, more great stuff !  1924-26 Postage Dues, Used. Wmk: Multiple Script CA, Perf 14.  |

1892 Overprint issues of earlier stamps (1883-91). Would make an interesting little study as there are many Overprint varieties. Font style, Narrow setting, Wide setting etc. Just a few stamps, SG#88-91  |

I have been attempting to document the various Malaya States issues and how to sort them. The Straits Settlements King George VI issues can be identified by first understanding the difference between Die I and Die II, and sorting some of the colors of the issues. The set was only in use for a few years from 1937 until 1941 when the Japanese overran the Malaya Peninsula in December.
Here is a link to my website describing how to identify these stamps.

I picked this up on the weekend, nice stamps. I had none of the first issue unused. So that is nice, will see what the backs look like when they get here. Curious to me was the 8 Cents (SG#8) cancelled in Batavia, Dutch Indies. I had never seen that before. My Gibbons does not denote foreign offices like it does for Hong Kong and GB. Is this common?  |

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

My picking through the two large boxes of stuff I bought 2 months ago has been interrupted by the drop off of a bag with a few small boxes and 3 stock books for me to peruse by my antique dealer friend. The deal as usual is that I can take what I want and I help with putting the stuff in order for his upcoming online estate auctions. One stock book is large being about 2 inches thick. It is loaded and not in any particular order. Sadly it is mostly CTO Sands and eastern block countries from the 1960's-70's. One still has to look because there are a few older items. This partial Straight Settlements set was a pleasant surprise, especially the .02 with a high catalogue value. The only thing that has me scratching my head is that they have no glue. They do appear to be mint. I checked my Labaun set and they all have glue along with the usual mass cancellations. One will never know but maybe they were heavily hinged or dampness had got to them so a previous owner soaked them. I could find no history of forgeries of these.  |
