Lou Wrote: Postal cards and envelopes with imprinted SoS indicia are a very collectible addition to a SoS collection. I have been very slowly adding them to our sites for you to see, and now that my scanner is working again, I hope to show you some unusual or uncommon items.

First off, are three postal cards issued by Hong Kong Post on February 22, 2002 to commemorate participation in Hong Kong Stampex 2002.  The undenominated cards were postage paid for international airmail, and sold in a special folder prepared for the exhibition. It was expected that showgoers would use them as souvenirs to mail home. What was unusual, and so far unique, is that the three cards are attached to each other with rouletting inbetween for easy separation. Because of their long length, I had to "separate" them in my scans. 

The SoS designs of the indicia are smaller, revised versions of Hong Kong #s 653-654-655 from the Stamp Collecting series of 1992; the values are removed and the inscription panels are changed. I added these earlier stamps to my pages so the differences could be seen.

The face side of the cards are all different, very colorful, and show other themed Hong Kong stamps. I use Vario pages in my albums, and for cards such as these I use clear pages to show both sides.

A set of cards with first day cancels was also produced (I attached just one), and both are offered occasionally from online Asian dealers-- prices range from $7.00-$10.00.

I hope these and those on the sites pique your interest to look for and add postal stationery to your collection.

As early as 1841 when Hong Kong became a free trading port, a postal bureau was established locally to handle mail items for the British Army and postal matters for the public. In its early days, the Post Office (now also known as Hongkong Post) did not issue stamps but focused on postal service, and mail items were postmarked as a proof of postage payment. It was not until 1862 that Hong Kong had its first stamp issue.

It has been one and a half centuries since the release of our first set of stamps on 8 December 1862 when Hong Kong was under British rule. The stamps came in a set of seven and featured Queen Victoria in profile. To mark the 150th anniversary of stamp issuance in Hong Kong this year, Hongkong Post issues a set of six commemorative stamps and a stamp sheetlet adopting a "stamp-on-stamp" design, modelled on the first set of stamps issued in Hong Kong, with each featuring one of our first seven stamps alongside a writing instrument from an era in history or an electronic data carrier device widely used nowadays. The contrast between the past and the present highlights the progression of time and the unfading charm of stamps. 

$1.40: The two-cent stamp from our first stamp set appears on the left and is accompanied on the right by a quill, a writing instrument believed to be invented in the 6th century.

$1.80: The eight-cent stamp from our first stamp set appears on the right and is accompanied by a fountain pen, a popular writing instrument since the late 19th century.

$2.40: The 12-cent stamp from our first stamp set appears on the right and is accompanied by a ballpoint pen, a prevalent modern writing instrument invented in the 1930s.

$2.50: The 18-cent stamp from our first stamp set appears on the left and is accompanied by a typewriter, a regular item of office equipment between the late 19th and late 20th century.

$3: The 24-cent stamp from our first stamp set appears on the left and is accompanied by a keyboard, the indispensable input device for a computer system since the late 20th century.

$5: The 48-cent stamp from our first stamp set appears on the right and is accompanied by a QR Code, a popular electronic data device today. With a camera phone equipped with compatible applications, one can scan the QR Code on the stamp to gain instant access to the webpage of "The 150th Anniversary of Stamp Issuance in Hong Kong" and browse the stamp information.

$10: Stamp Sheetlet - Taking centre place of the stamp portion of the sheetlet is the highest denomination stamp from our first issue. Positioned next to a barcode, which is an item commonly used in the modern commercial world, this 96-cent stamp and the other six stamps of lower denominations on the right of the sheetlet form a complete set of our first stamps, making the sheetlet a truly precious souvenir.

Thanks to Lou Guadagno and Prof. Plinio Richelmi
