Lot# 8018

comprising three single stamps and one block of four, all in unused. Printed on thin paper with uneven perforations and vivid red impressions, these represent typical products of the Republic’s final printing phase. Collectively, they illustrate the overprinting characteristics and plate variations of the 50c third issue, providing valuable insight into the printing technique and workmanship flaws of the final Formosan Republic postal period. Illustrated in Mizuhara, The Collection of Chinese Stamps and Postal History, Vol. II, Part 7, p. 275.
