Need Help with China Shanghai

andrew Hellenschmidt

Hi any help would be appreciated with these. I guess they are local post but not sure about the HK overprint. Perfs are 15 and 11.5.

Dan Shilcrat

Andrew, I am just wondering (without the obvious advantage of seeing the stamps) if in fact, that is not an overprint but a 'Manuscript Cancel' ????? Dan

andrew Hellenschmidt

Hi Dan, they might be but I have never seen this type. Thus I am reaching out.

Dan Shilcrat

Andrew.. if you look close they are not uniform as an overprint would be.. spacing is different. I think a creative local postman initialed to cancel. only a guess but I have seen similar Before. Dan

is there gum on the Stamps??

andrew Hellenschmidt

Yes all have gum slightly disturbed.

Hey Dan, any indication of value I would like to list these but not sure what the prices are.

Dan Shilcrat

I am somewhat 'winging it' here, if my own I would list as an Auction & start the 3 as 1 lot. With a US$9.00 Start Price. If, its too high.. no bids you can go lower.. if its low you should get multiple Bids (its a popular area) taking it to a fair market level. Good luck with them, Dan
