Revitalisation of Historic Buildings (set of 6)
We have no other postcards like these. Issued by Hongkong Post as “Postage Prepaid Picture Card Series No. 48,” including pre-printed airmail postage, each of the six cards shows a different historic building that has been, well, revitalised. The only convenient way to know what these buildings are is to look at very tiny writing on the pore-printed stamp–not on the front. However these cards are really THICK and at the front bottom there’s a pull-tab that possibly lets the card stand up on its own, like a picture on a desk. We’ve not tried. Maybe this gives more information about the buildings, or maybe not.
We have four sets where the printed postage is not postmarked (Grades: 1, $34); one set where the cards are postmarked with first day of issue special “building blocks” postmark (Grade: 1, $39), and one set using the first day of issue GPO postmark (Grade: 1, $39).
