Hi there
I am a long term collector of Hong Kong ( upto 1997) and China Treaty Ports, and member of the Hong Kong Study Circle and have a particular interest in the foreign arrival cancels on HK stamps and ship markings. I also collect postcards of HK pre WWII and recently started collecting incoming mail to HK from the Queen Victoria era.
Why Hong Kong? because I was born and grew up there, 4th generation colonial expat!
I have some interest in Macau, Mauritius and St Helena but since Mauritius now requires you to be a billionaire to collect a meaningful collection I will admire from afar...
thanks and Best Wishes to all...

Welcome to TSF, hkwill ! I really like your avatar! Hong Kong is a great area to collect, so I will enjoy seeing some posts of your favorite material. Our previous HK specialist passed away in June 2018. His name was Clive, and his TSF site name was Anping, so if you look up his posts, you will see many about HK items. Anyway, welcome aboard and enjoy your time with us! Regards, Chris (aka Beryllium Guy) |
