Manchukuo Independent Country In Manchuria In NE China

I cant seem to find the country for these.

and I wanted to share a few from the set, these in person are like tiny little pieces of wall art. scans don't do them justice.

Since the denomination shown on the stamps is "Yuan" and "Fen", the country is almost certainly China. Although I don't find the stamp designs in Scott, so they may be revenues or some type of official stamps.

Hi Edwin, they're from Manchukuo, a nominally independent country in Manchuria in northeastern China that was set up by the Japanese after they occupied the region in 1931.

Manchukuo the Japanesse puppet overnment in Manchuria. Violet 1 yuan Scott 100 .50 in '95,

Edwin,
it would be excellent if you could change the thread
topic to something like Manchukuo.
They have popped up in queries about 8 times before here,
without any thread dedicated to them.
You could be the first


ack: blair rcsd.

Rod222, I have the Kerr set, during the Rusian occupation of Manchuria.

Great source!

You lucky devil :)
not that I could make use of them,
I only have 1 MLO I think.
...but it would be nice to read

Edwin,
Do you know how to change your thread?
Those are lovely, and yes, I think you should do as suggested and change your title.
I hope I'll find some international stamps as pretty in my "mess".
Go to your original post and click on the <edit icon> with the eraser. You can then, just change the topic, or whatever in (re) line. or add additional text to your first post. Unless you tell us what you actually have changed, (which most of those here do,) the change is not automatically differentiated in your post so later observers wouldn't alway see, or understand, the progression.

One possibility for top left is Scott #115, which should perf 13.5 down the side(and which appears to match #97 to its right, which is also 13.5 down the side). I only looked at a Classic, so if there are other options past 1940, I wouldn't have seen them...

sorry guys just logged back on, changed the title

maybe I should post individual pictures of each stamp I have in this group or would it be too much?

thanks for the ID's so you found them under Manchukuo? I was having the same problem as stamps2go.

They will still pop up again, if a new member has the stamps and does not know the country, he will not know what to search for

That five-pointed star device at the top center of each stamp is referred to as the orchid crest, and is found on many, but not all, stamps of Manchukuo.

here are the rest from the packet no need to ID them, just for fun I'll be looking them up when I get to this packet in like 2 years :)

shoot I forgot to turn off the auto brighten on each scan.... Groan!

Yep, Scott's Manchukuo section should stand you in good stead when you get around to these. The only one without the orchid crest is the White Pagoda.

Some good-looking cancels there.

Very nicely engraved stamps Edwin.

Sometimes the obvious escapes extremely intelligent beings

Thanks to Cjd for the orchid crest
always wondered about that.........
