image Taiwan, 1951-52, Flying Geese, selection of Second and Third Overprints (Scott 1042-1044, 1061-1062), a pleasing gaggle, each incredibly fresh and bright, and offering a world of opportunity to the specialist or dealer; Second Series comprises #1042 (21 total: 14 singles, two pairs plus a strip of three), #1043 (32 total: 12 singles, three pairs, plus a block of six and a block of eight), and #1044 (8 total: four singles plus two pairs), while the Third Series presents #1061 (18 total: 10 singles plus four pairs) and #1062 (5 singles); multiples useful for plating (or exhibiting), while many—multiples and singles alike—show large parts of various cancels; a few wrinkled or with a blunted corner, but overall a great holding and one that's tough to come by, Very Fine on the whole, definitely worth a gander.

image Japan, 1875 (Feb. 1), rare Degron-kun cover from Col. Munier, sent Yokohama to Versailles, a remarkable, eye-catching cover despite its flaws; addressed to Madame Munier at Impasse des gendarmes, 15 (one of her four addresses during the Colonel's time in Japan), the cover bears the civilian pre-paid letter rate of 1F, paid by a tricolor Cérès franking—5c yellow green on pale blue (Scott #53), large-figure 15c bister (#61) and large-figure 80c rose on pinkish (#63), each receiving a tying Yokohama "5118" dotted-diamond cancel; front also bears a partial, blurred Japanese Post Office Yokohama cancel at upper left, plus Roman-letter "Yokohama/1/FVR/75/Japon" dater and French red boxed "PF" handstamp below; reverse with a beautiful strike of the Type I Degron-kun handstamp (originally in black, here faded to a near gold), with boxed red Shimbashi chop below (as the Japanese would read it), along with French "Marseille a Lyon/20/MARS/75/Special" transit and Versailles 21 MARS 75 receiver; cover with various faults and repairs, including missing the part of the front panel that bore the 2s Japanese adhesive to pay the Tokyo-to-Yokohama inter-city rate (rim of cancel still visible above "Versailles"), but a very scarce and important piece of postal history nonetheless, Fine.
Estimate HK$ 12,000 - 16,000

The rarity of this cover cannot be overstated. According to Jun Ichi Matsumoto (
The French Post Office in Yokohama), there are only about 20-30 surviving Munier covers, of which roughly ten are Franco-Japanese combinations. The franking here is very rare, with Matsumoto noting only 4-10 covers known bearing the large-figure 15c issue (whereas 11-20 are known with the 5c, and 21-40 with the large-figure 80c). And for the Japanese postal markings collector, the Shimbashi Railway Station chop was introduced "from the beginning of 1875" (p. 142), making this surely one of the earliest possible examples. Est.

image Japan, 1933, sea-to-summit selection of 6 Karl Lewis covers, a lovely introduction to Lewis' covers, comprising five ship covers plus one mailed from Mt. Fuji's Summit Post Office; the Fujiyama cover bears a Type V cachet, with the mountain depicted at lower left, a less common Type 2 inscription, and the four definitives tied by two strikes of the Mt. Fuji Scenic Datestamp dated 8.7.29 (July 29, 1933); the ship covers hail from the Asama-Maru, Heian-Maru, Hiye-Maru (2) and Tatsuta-Maru; four, posted between June 8 and Sept. 14, predate Lewis' introduction of cachets for these covers, and each bears two strikes of the ship's I.J. Sea Post Scenic Datestamp tying the postage; the second Hiye-Maru cover is dated Nov. 14 and boasts one of the earliest cachets known (the earliest recorded is Nov. 9; Lewis' artist was still painting cachets when this cover was sent!)—and one of the prettiest in our view; all with blue Beikokuyuki ("To US") handstamp on front and combination noted on back (Fujiyama C-3, Asama-Maru C-7, Heian-Maru C-4, uncacheted Hiye-Maru C-1, Tatsuta-Maru C-5, cacheted Hiye-Maru C-14), Very Fine despite some slight toning almost always found on these earliest covers, all imaged online.

Estimate HK$ 2,600 - 3,000

This incredibly rare item is detailed in "The Stamps and Postal History of Sarawak" by W.R. Forrester-Wood (1957) on pages 386-387. The label was used in the Baram area, where Civil Affairs Officer C.B. Murray produced his own "stamps" from the ruled pages of an old Treasury Account book. Size is appr 43x34mm, with the "stamps" being affixed to cover, initially by Murray and cancelled with the District Office "chop", and finally with a reconstituted pre-war Baram c.d.s. The stamps were recognized as unofficial, removed from the covers and replaced by the correct postage. Fortunately, notes Forrester-Wood, a few were kept and survived, as none are known to have survived on cover.
