CHINA 1878-1949 SCOTT/MA/CHAN CATALOG CORRELATION INCLUDING
JAPANESE OCCUPATION OF CHINA, SHANGHAI-TREATY PORTS, AND MANCHUKUO by
Ralph Weil with Michael Rogers. 2006, second edition, Softbound. At last, a
China catalogue number correlation which helps every collector who
uses Scott, Ma or Chan catalogues. Its three sections offer a
Scott/Ma/Chan correlation; a Chan/Scott/Ma correlation; and a
Ma/Scott/Chan Correlation. While the sequences which Scott, Ma, and
Chan follow in organizing their material are logical, each uses
different criteria. Thus, matching Scott, Ma, and Chan numbers can
be most time-consuming. Our catalogue correlation is effort-free and
most helpful; we use it every time we work on China!

CHINA AND TREATY PORTS by S. A. Pappadopulo. 1935, Softbound,
106 pp. 1985 reprint by Kelleher & Rogers with essays about every key issue
of China 1878-1935 plus the Treaty Ports. This handy volume helps us
understand each issue's background; for example, the many Dowager issues are
well explained: the normal 1894 set (Scott 16-24), those printed elsewhere
(Scott 16n-24n), the Mollendorf presentation set, and how to distinguish
each. Then the various small and large overprints are carefully
described. Prices listed are in 1934 dollars. How we wish we could
buy at those prices! |

by Allan D. Kerr (1976), 4 Vol., Softbound, 188pp (2000 Reprint) A new printing of
the original 1975-7 work in four volumes with correction inserts. This is
the original and most comprehensive listing of these stamps available.
Includes alternative names, locations on maps, and a list of known covers.
Includes a picture index in volume IV which makes identification of the
overprints by local issue easy.
Volume I: Locations 1-79 (A Cheng to Hui
Nan), 35 pages.
Volume II: Locations 82-172 (I An to Pu Si), 44 pages.
Volume III: Locations 173-268 (Sao Chan Ho to Yu Li Chen), 56 pages.
Volume
IV: Unidentified Locations, stampless covers, map and index of place names,

this work, mostly with regard to place names and the characters used for
such places. Most of these efforts are mistaken! Mr. Kerr's painstaking
research on the original place names and characters was based on the
Japanese identifications used in the postmarks found on many of the
genuinely-used stamps. |
