A grouping of China in a banker box. Two collections and duplicates are housed in 3 schoolboy binders. The best begins with Imperial small dragons and a couple Dowagers and then runs through Japanese occupation issues plus a few covers included. The second is less well filled and runs from the coiling dragons to ROC in the 1960’s. The third binder is hundreds of duplicates just waiting to be explored for cancels, etc. Also included is a pizza-type box with more modern ROC and some PRC which increases the interest in this lot. Finally, there is a plastic container with of little consequence. A neat lot to explore. (Image)

Japan collection to 1975 housed in a Scott Specialty album. Begins almost all used, turns mixed around the start of the Parks issues, and becomes nearly all mint in the mid-1950’s. Many souvenir sheets with better items but no BOB except a few semi-postal s/s. Stamps are affixed with a mixture of hinges, mounts and tape (archival?). With care, the tape is easily removed from stamps mounted with it and we saw no detrimental effect to either stamps or album pages. However, it is probably prudent to remount those stamps with a more philatelically friendly method. A worthwhile collection. (Image)
