Chinese Stamps Exhibit at Collectors Club

Just dropped in to the Collectors Club on East 35th in NYC to see the Chinese Stamps Exhibition, which was a collaboration between many persons and entities, including the China Stamps Society.

Starting with the square frame  CASH  and whole sheets of the 1/3/5 CANDARINS, it went on through other dragon stamps to the 1897 Red Revenue surcharges (created when the stamps ordered from a printer in Japan did not arrive in time) and up to rather recent First Day covers.

This will run until Saturday, and coincides with the NOJEX show in New Jersey.

A list of exhibitions/exhibitors is as follows:

The 1897 Red Revenue Surcharges of China/Ding Jinsong

Customs Large Dragon Stamps, Customs Small Dragon Stamps and Postage Stamps of Chinese People's Revolutionary War Period/Sun Jiangtao

Look at China Through Stamps/ACPF

Regular Stamps of P.R. China/Yu Liugen

Below is the invitations letter from the President of the Collectors Club:

Dear Collectors Club Members,

 

I am pleased to invite you to attend a special Chinese Stamp Exhibition presented by the All China Philatelic Federation at the Clubhouse next week.  The exhibition is being held in conjunction with China’s participation as the Guest of Honor at BookExpo America, an annual publishing trade show at the Javits Center.

 

The exhibition will feature 40 frames of Chinese stamps and postal history presented by four internationally recognized Chinese collectors including Club member Mr. David Lu, Mr. Sun Jiangto, Mr. Ding Jinsong, and Mr. Zhao Yue.

 

The public opening hours of the exhibition will be:

 

Wednesday May 27 12:00 noon – 4:30 PM

Thursday May 28 10:30 AM – 4:30 PM

Friday May 29 10:30 AM – 4:30 PM

Saturday May 30 10:30 AM – 4:00 PM

 

I am particularly pleased that this exhibition represents a collaborative and cooperative effort with the American Philatelic Society who are providing the additional frames and the All China Philatelic Federation with whom we look forward to meeting to discuss issues of joint interest.  Special thanks to Steven Reinhard, President of the APS, for helping to coordinate the APS support for the event; to Vice President Mark Banchik for arranging publicity for the exhibition; and to Executive Secretary Irene Bromberg who has undertaken extraordinary administrative support to the exhibition on short notice.

 

I hope that you will have an opportunity to visit the Chinese Stamp Exhibition on your way to or from NOJEX, our local World Series of Philately stamp show, which will be held on May 29-31 at the Clarion Hotel Empire Meadowlands Hotel in Secaucus, New Jersey.  More NOJEX details are available at www.nojex.org.

 

All the best,
