The collection I am looking at has very few covers. Mostly it's stamps and the odd modern GB area sheet or part sheet. But there are some covers, about a dozen in total and one or two have been quite interesting to see. This first one may, or may not, have been prepared at the 1942 Agricultural-Horticultural Exhibition in Selangor at the time of the Japanese Occupation. Like the stamps I have been boring you all with, the covers come from the same source in Canada via a friend in London (his Nephew). The cover here was purchased in 2004 and was advertised as a Fake. But the former owner seemed to disagree with that verdict and gave his own opinion, which I found folded up and inserted into the envelope !! I believe he got a little bit confused with dates and terminology.  SG# J90-91 on cover, unaddressed with possible dodgy cancels. And not a Cinderella in sight !   |

This 1944 has lots of interesting features...........which includes something for the Cinderella collector !! A nice Singapore Registered Label which had nothing to do with the Millennium ! A 1939 Express Label and I wonder why that was added when it was only going a very short distance. Maybe the sender was getting excited or had inside knowledge about upcoming events ? All the stamps on this cover were intended for use on Red Cross Letters hence all the surcharges are in red. 3 stamps from Straits Settlements 2 stamps from Johore 2 stamps from Selangor SG# J311-J317. Withdrawn after one day and was only available in Singapore.   |

I was never aware of the "Red Cross Stamps",as Michel does not list or mention them. However,of the few stamps from occupied Malaya I own,I can show the complete set of the above Penang set,what,according to Michel and S.G. was issued on April 15th,1942:
It is a cut out from one of the usual philatelic letters.I wonder if genuinely used stamps do exist at all.

Japanese Occupation of Malaya overprints on stamps of Trengganu. SG#J119, J124, J127  Another Trengganu issue overprinted in 1942. SG#J107  Similar overprint to the above but this time on a stamp from Perak. SG#J199  The single-frame overprint reads 'Malaya Military Government Division Postal Services Bureau Seal'. Commonly called a 'Chop' (yes Beryllium Guy, I am still laughing), 9 were produced from steel for these issues and all were slightly different . This is quite a fascinating area of Philately as I have been finding out over the last few days. It could become quite addictive ! (Cue my Cinderellas going out on strike for more attention !!) Anyway, you can read some nice information about Chops, Overprints, Malaya and the Occupation here : www.linyangchen.com/PhilatelyLondonbus1 |

SG#J248 on an unusual cover, rather ornate. It will take me a while to figure out this one. I was surprised to find an enclosed letter in very good condition so if anyone can read it for me that would be great !! (Yes, I did try a few letters)    |
