383rd Auction
14–15 & 18–23 March 2024 in Wiesbaden
1961, Table Tennis souvenir sheet with red first day special cancelation, very fine
1946/75 (ca.): Interesting mint accumulation including many scarcer issues from the Cultural Revolution period such as 1963 "Landscapes of Huangshang" (Mi. 744-59), 1963 "Butterflies" (Mi. 689-6908),1965 "Jinggangshan - cradle of the Revolution" (Mi. 874-81) as well as some earlier stamps and a representative selection of Civil War-Issues. Attractive and mainly in fine condition.
1949/65 (approx.), mostly unused and used duplicates, incl. provincial issues in four differently stocked albums
1950/54, very interesting group of People's Republic definitive stamps, including multiples, with Soviet Union Cyrillic cancellations of "DALNY" (41), "PORT ARTHUR" (2) and "ANGTSINTSE"(2), all neatly written up on the original album pages of Michel Lipschutz. All are ex Tchinlinghirian and many formed the basis for the illustrations in parts four and six. It is unclear if these are legacy cancellations from the period of Soviet military occupation after 1945 or whether they were used in post office still under Soviet control until the final military withdrawal from the region in 1955. Provenance: Lipschutz (Lugano 1993, Lot 1640. Hammer price 5100 CHF)
