China Manchukuo.
Much cheaper to re-work the original master than prepare a whole new
design and plate. Remember that Japan and China officially went to war in 1937, and by 1944 conditions in Japan were pretty desperate, and even more so in Manchukuo. It could well be that the litho printing in 1944 required some modifications of the original die anyway, to accomodate the different printing process.

I cannot for the life of me understand why a country "re-draws". If the plates are worn, why not bring out a new issue? It seems pointless to re draw an existing design. (well, to me anyhow "Peter Baumann" wrote in message ... rodney schrieb: These are obviously different stamps. Were the "china mail" issues redrawn? http://cjoint.com/data/gnp03JhZSk.htm Rodney, the left one should be the 1944 issue and the right one the issue from 1937. As far as I remember, the design had been changed slightly in 1944 - I realized that for the 20 Fen and 1 Yen design. Peter -- No Gates - no Bill! |

China Manchukuo.
Forgive my ignorance, How does one re-work the original? are we talking about the die? ....and surely a new plate would be required? As I see it, any change has to begin with the die, so where does one save effort? "Asia-translation" Much cheaper to re-work the original master than prepare a whole new design and plate.

China Manchukuo.
....and how hard is that?
I would compare that to going into a lolly shop, and purchasing a lettuce. "Blair" By the way, that last auction had a full 2008 Gibbons catalogue (5 volumes) that was estimated at $A 220 (about half of last year's price). There were no bids. $A 44 per volume is a good price for a year old catalogue. B |
