image 1942 2c, 4c, 6c, 8c Crest of the Colony Postage Due Issues Overprinted with 3 Kanji Characters, each in a full sheet of 50, with complete selvedge, with fresh colour, well centered and never hinged. The gum and parts of the selvedge has moderate browning due to original climate and tissue protection. In online searches we found only one group of four singles offered at AUD$250. This lot includes the original O.H.M.S. envelope in which these were stored for almost 80 years. Each of the four sheets here are very likely unique.

The two lots offered here (see also lot #593) were delivered to North Borneo during the Japanese Occupation and have stayed with one family since that time. The three overprint characters literally translate as "sealed paper" and are most often described as custom seals. The comprehensive 186 page "Dai Nippon in South East Asia" lists all 5 of the North Borneo postage dues as receiving the Kanji overprints, but only 6 denominations of the Sarawak set, with the highest value being the 20c. Listed in Barefoot as a heading only, with the note "used to be listed as revenues, these are now known to have been used only as postal seals". See scans online of the fronts and backs of each sheet to show the fresh, well centered stamps, but also the browning of the gum mentioned in our description. (Image)

image 1942 $2 Violet and Magenta and $4 Red and Ultramarine Charles Vyner Issues of 1934 Overprinted with 3 Kanji Characters, each in a full sheet of 100, with complete selvedge and "Bradbury-Wilkinson & Co. Engravers, New Maden, Surrey, England" imprint. Fresh colour, well centered and never hinged and only a little perf separation on one sheet. The gum and parts of the selvedge has moderate browning due to original climate and tissue protection, and the $4 sheet still has about one third of the tissue still adhering. Listed in the 2000 (6th edition) of Barefoot as #s 107 (£20 each stamp for used) and 109 (£25 each stamp for used). Each of these two sheets here are very likely unique.

The two lots offered here (see also lot #590) were delivered to North Borneo during the Japanese Occupation and have stayed with one family since that time. The three large overprint characters were primarily intended as censor seals or control stamps, formerly listed as "revenues", and the Barefoot values given is for used only. See scans online of the fronts and backs of each sheet to show the fresh colour, well centered stamps, but also the browning of the gum mentioned in our description. (Image)
