Among my China purchases, these two blocks, one featuring a circular stamp, and the other featuring six stamps arranged to form a fan. I particularly like the fan arrangement. This is the third such fan block I have in my Chinese collection.  |

The full set of five octagonal Ottoman Empire stamps issued in 1898 for the occupation of Thessaly: pics not repeatedVery impressed, Xavier, with your new acquisition- and I had to do a little searching to understand (if I do) these issues being in the middle of the the Greco-Turkish War of 1897. Great buy !! René |
