Hong Kong map
We had great fun trying to nail down the date this unused ad card from Jetway Express Ltd. might have been designed. It still shows the old HSBC HQ in Central, so that makes it pre-1985. Though there are many other clues, we’ll leave those to you. Grade: 1

China’s dream of the people’s happiness (folio) – cover (PR China)
Entry 32000050A shows the cover of this 8-3/8″ x 11-1/4″ item, typical of many other PR China folios: inside front and back covers plus five very sturdy cardboard pages containing assorted individual stamps, stamp strip, stamp sheetlet, stamped envelopes, and four stamped (on the front) postcards. Nothing has a postmark, so the postcards are not maximum cards. Entry 32000050B shows the four postcards. Postage for this will be charged at cost–just ask us what that is. Grade: 1
