Help With China Stamps

ive been sorting a bunch of China of which I know knowing about and have been stumped on these. Can anyone point me to the correct Scott catalog area for the below? Help much appreciated..












The bottom 2 I was thinking air post, PRC. But not sure on the 'FEN' script. The top two ??

Google lens will point you in the right direction.

My gut tells me:
1. China in Taiwan (Formosa) section.
2. China 1L section... I think at back of People's Republic of China section.
3. Manchukuo.
4. Republic of China year 1946

I don't have my catalog to give a better answer.

Whoops - disnt mean to lit the formosa one there! Let me check the others - get back to you…. Many thanks!! #128522;

hummm, and I thought Formosa would be the easy one. I working with 2019 Sc catalogs. China - Taiwan (Formosa), p. 380, dont see it. If I look. for Formosa in index, reads pages 310 & 380. 310 is Republic of China, Taiwan. Not there.

Little confused here.

This one I see in PRC, image A3




But I cannot fine the $1000 denomination.

EDIT: Not sure why I struck out on the 1st search ! Its a reprint , 1950 Sc1L136

in my 2019 cat, this one




is China, Sc780, 1947.

Stamp #4 is indeed China Scott #780.

Stamp #2 is Northeast China 1L136. It is design A3, but has the 4 characters added to signify "Northeast Postal Service". Perhaps a reprint?

Stamp #3 is Manchukuo... Scott #C4.

Stamp #1 appears to be something Scott doesn't list. Perhaps it is a local issue.

Got it! Thanks for hanging in there with.......

Stamp 1 is a forgery of a Taiwan 1880s unissued.

Thanks for the follow up. Noted....

ligneN, what led you to the conclusion that Formosa was not issued? At StampWorld I see that stamp, estimated to be from 1888, with a cancellation too, and unissued stamps won't be cancelled.

Good point. I'm curious now too!

The only evidence that it could be an unisued stamp, is that StampWorld showed only the price for an unused stamp. Maybe it is worth looking at a catalog like Scott and seeing what sort of prices there are. If I'm not mistaken, Scott doesn't include unisued stamps in the catalog.

I coluldnt find it in Scott. I found no Taiwan that went back that far. BUT, Scott kept referencing different Vol.'s when I looked at Taiwan so very possible its just me that could not find the right Volume / Section. A bit puzzling.

These links may help. In any case if you look at the Cherrystone die proofs you will immediately see that your Formosa stamp is a very crude fake.
