  • Chinese junk

    The junks are gone now but the card is here, mailed in 1985 with stamp and postmark and blue trilingual Air Mail sticker.  What sets the card apart from others is the caption on the reverse:  “Chinese junk – With the background of Modern Buildings being the tourist centre in Kowloon, Hong Kong.”  The problem is that the background is Hong Kong Island, not Kowloon.  Grade: 1
