Rising Sun of the Far East. Dignified one volume collection of postage stamps from Japan, Japanese occupation areas, Manchukuo and Ryukyu Islands, 1871-1969. All F-VF, with used stamps dominating in the early years and mint leading the way after 1940. Hinged carefully and expertly onto Minkus specialty pages, housed in a Minkus specialty album. High degree of completeness and packed with classic to modern singles, sets and souvenir sheets, missing only the more elusive stamps. Huge overall catalog value. Great entry opportunity into the world of Japanese stamps for any would be specialist. (Image)

China and Hong Kong accumulation in a small box. Contains hundreds and hundreds of mixed mint and used stamps having beneficial backup in two stockbooks. China runs roughly from the 1930s to the 1990s and Hong Kong from the 1880s to 2004. A very useful holding. (Image)
