Year of the rooster 2017/ Jaar van de Haan 2017

2017, in de Chinese kalender is dat de jaar van de haan.

Nu heb ik wat Chinese postzegelvrienden dus dat geeft wat mogelijkheden voor de hanen die op postzegels gaan verschijnen.

Zelf heb ik wat persoonlijke postzegels laten maken in het kader van dit item. Ook heb ik wat kaarten ontvangen uit China om deze te maximaliseren, nee maximumkaarten van te maken is een betere omschrijving. Vandaag toch wat actie genomen om deze kaarten te voorzien van een speciaal stempel.

Kijk maar even of dat gelukt is.

 

Year of the monkey, voor aap staan.

                             

Wat zien we hier, een rij Chinezen die voor aap staan. Hoezo voor aap staan, deze foto is gemaakt begin januari 2016 in de stad Changzhou city en het zijn postzegelverzamelaars en/of beleggers die in de rij staan om de nieuwe Year of the monkey postzegels te kopen. In China is het verzamelen van postzegels nog erg in en met de eerste aapjespostzegel in gedachten zou je dus rijk kunnen worden van deze nieuwe uitgifte.  Nu hebben wij in de jaren 70-80 van de vorige eeuw ook zo'n periode gehad, hele vellen werden aangeschaft en verdwenen in kluizen en brandvrije kasten. Als je nu kijkt naar de prijzen is dat ook geen goede belegging geweest. De teruglopende belangstelling hier en het grote aanbod... je kunt er je voordeel mee doen.

Wantlist chickenstamps.

See that this month was gone with the wind concerning my blog. Did have or better take no time for updat or write something on my blog.  Could blame facebook of course. That takes a lot of time. Also worked over 60 hours. Show a nice chickenstamp from China (1981) one of a higher value. Saw it for € 30,= and that is a lot for one stamp, even if it is nice. So it is still on my wantlist and I do have it digital now.. ;-)

Cards from friends 2013-12-11

 

Very nice card from XU with cancellation 2013-12-11.Thanks for that one. I did not make any covers that day. Its is a special day they say, think every day is special.

Like the cats on the card and also the nice picture from that palace.

Wantlist Chickenstamps

I do have a wantlist from chickenstamps. Will show some I like to have. The first I saw today for the first time, a stamp from France. Have to find out what year and also if I see it in my stamps from France what I doubt.

China

Yesterday a packet from China, some cards to mail to my friend. Het did put Dutch stamps on it and he likes Dutch cancellations.  Now I think that when I put them in de regular mailbox there won't be much cancellations on the cards. I will go next week to the local postdepartment of our supermarket and put a Dodewaard cancel  on the cards. Sure there is a cancellation on.  Show you the stamps on the "cover". Also put some in the regular mailbox and see what happens.

Mailboxen, postbussen

Yesterday receive a nice card from chinajiky (Xu Wei) On the card a nice olympic stamp with a special cancellation on it. No need to say I like that.( but I did now don't I) In front of the card, or for some of us collectors the backside, you see a lot of mailboxes. The mailman, or woman, have to look very carefull when he/she delivers there. Thanks for the nice card.

Show the whole card to you.

Jaar van het konijn

Hier de voorkant van een kaart uit China ter gelegenheid van het jaar van het konijn, Year of the rabbit.

Rechtsboven een afbeelding van de postzegel die aan de andere kant van de kaart zit, met fraaie stempels. De tekst kan ik even niet vertalen..

De kaart is van 5-1-2011 toen dit jaar een aanvang nam. Naast het konijn is er natuurlijk een een kip te bewonderen, daarom laat ik deze kant ook zien. ;-)

Mailboxen

Here you see a card I received this week with the Happy New Year wish. Thanks to Wei for this nice card.

Mailed from Malaysia you see on the front some mailboxes from China Post. They all are different, modern and older I suppose. Sad that the first www address is not in cyberspace anymore. Maybe if you have the money, you can buy a great club which has more than 6000 members. Mr Wei Xu did put a lot of time in this club with nice items, articles, pictures and many more. Hope we will see that all back soon. Just need 6 figures in the lotto and could save that site. (Wishfull hoping...)

chickens?

Do buy and sell sometimes on Delcampe. Also have a search there "rooster". Now yesterday this one came up in the e-mail. ox cart music rooster umbrella wedding are the searchwords. Now I have looked good at the stamps but did not see a chicken/rooster. Maybe need spectacles...

Year of the OX

Nice postcard I received last week. In front two buildings in Prague. Here you see the back. Nice flower stamps form China with a even nicer candcellation of The Year of the Ox. Cancellation on January 5th.

The Chinese New Year start January 26th, so it's a New Years card.

Thanks Wei XU

Great cover from China

What to say when you receive such a nice cover ???

Just look at it and tell me what you find of this.

You know it: click on the picture for more details.

Card from China

Nice card and nice stamps I got from China. I also will show you the front of this card and than you can see why this is very special for me.

Great to receive such a nich item. Also some nice stamps on the card. Special for me is the stamp that is printed with the card. As I see it clear there is a Dutch flag on that picture. Als the year 2000, do't know what that mean. Also a stamp with the big Chinese wal and two stamps concerning our planet and how to keep it in a good shape. The two birds are also great of course. Thanks to Zhoufan

Happy New Year 2005

Some nice stationary card from China. Even it is from 2005 it is still nice to have. It must be mailed to some-one but my mandrin is not that good ..... Also a big numer on the card, does this is a lotterycard? Who can tell me.

Cover from China

Nice cover I did receive last week. Registered mail where I had to sign for. Two barcodes on is and also a message that I was not at home the first time they want to deliver this cover. I have no idea what the stamp is about. For sure a male and a female in contour, stamp issued in 2008, could it be nr 5 of this year? My information about new issues is till October 2007. Thanks to Zhoufan for this nice cover.

Busy week

This week was very busy for me.(And you don't want to know about next week......) Nice to see that the mail (snail one) is still working here.

Did get some nice covers from China, Portugal, USA and The Netherlands and the week still has one day to go.

Show you the FDC from China I got from a new contact for me. Don't know how he find my address and where, but my information is on my blog of course.

The stamp is for The World Summer Games in Shanghai 2007. They are special olympics but I could not find any information about the issue. Is it one stamp or are there more?

Will return a nice cover for this wonderfull FDC.
