ORIGINAL SUNDAY TIMES NEWSPAPER +1 HARI MERDEKA 01 SEPT. 1957

ORIGINAL PAGE 2 SUNDAY TIMES POST MERDEKA ISSUE

This rare original post merdeka newspaper issue dated 1 Sept. 1957 was acquired by my friend recently.It is not in good shape but for being + 1 merdeka issue it is still very collectible. It is a complete set with no missing pages as far as i can see.

I took a photo from photo from page 2 as it it highlights the " Proclamation of Independence " where I am fortunate to have an original copy issued by the Survey Dept. Malaya.

There have been some interests from my blog readers and serious reasonable offers will be considered. Also refer to my earlier article on the this subject matter.

ORIGINAL PROCLAMATION OF INDEPENDENCE

UNLISTED MALAYSIA UNITED NATIONS ISSUE 1982 fourth series (1981-1983)

Not a commonly seen issue, I would appreciate comments from my blog readers if they know anything more about this UN based first day of issue dated 24th Sept. 1982.

It also have a serial number 657?
What is the total mintage?
Anyway listed below is the more commonly found Franklin Mint issue of the same series.

Anyway it is good to acquire this limited edition issues as the quality of the banknotes are well protected and not handled and very likely to graded at the high end of the scale should it be seen to PMG.

As readers would know a highly graded PMG certified banknote would fetch a high premium if we would be fortunate to earn a PMG 68, 69.




This is not so difficult to get issue, by Franklin Mint.

MALAYA CAR ROAD TAX 1936, 1938

 Very interesting collectible from the thirties.
Road tax certificate for car no M 1061, Malacca registration for the year 1936, 1938.

Tax is $36 and $38 respectively, quite a big amount in those days where as coin collectors know very well, 1/4cents coins are circulated in those days.

Too bad the actual disc is missing but this is a pretty good find as the conditions of these certificates are very good.

OLD INTERESTING MALAYA / STRAITS SETTLEMENT POSTCARD 1917

This is an old pair of straits settlement postcard at the turn of the century.

The first postcard is from the era of King George VI and quite different from the usual postcards of the era in that it is a " prepaid order form " for business purposes.











The second poscard is well written calligraphy of chinese script said to be a business transaction of soy sauce according to my chinese speaking friend.

RARE CHINA MEDALLION 1968 - CHAIRMAN MAO

Dear Readers, Now I am in the mood to list some of my medallions thanks to a purchase of a medallion i listed earlier. That is the first transaction done since I listed stuff on my blog some years ago.
Many thanks to my first customer who may elect to remain anonymous.



Today I am listing a medallion with some silver content from china.
It is quite substantial at about 40mm in diameter and is dated 1968 3 7 on reverse.

The toning is quite attractive and is open to offers from fans of china medallion collectors.

PESTA SUKAN 1965 MEDALLION 29th JULY- 9TH August 1965 (OFFERS CONSIDERED )

This medallion is quite interesting it is the last pesta sukan to be held in singapore when singapore is still part of the federation of Malaysia.
The closing ceremony 9th AUGUST 1965 is the day when coincidentally the day Singapore separated from Malaysia to be an independent state.
Checking on the internet , LKY was supposed to be at the closing ceremony of the Pesta Sukan and delivered a speech. So this little medallion is pretty significant for singaporeans .

USAF MEDALLION RARE ( OFFERS CONSIDERED )

THIS MEDALLION IS UNDATED BUT I WOULD ESTIMATE IT TO BE FROM THE FIFTIES/SIXTIES BASED ON THE VERDIGRIS FORMED ON THE COPPER MATERIEL.

I TRIED LOOKING UP ON THE INTERNET BUT THE USAF WEBSITE IS BLOCKED GOR SECURITY REASONS PERHAPS. 

Size wise it is rather chunky at about 2mm thick and 40mm in diameter.

INTERESTING WW2 NAZI GERMAN COVER ( OFFERS CONSIDERED )

This is my first entry after a while.I dont know much about this issue but it looks like a military telegram to a warship corvette.

The seal is interesting and quite outstanding.
Anyone who knows something about this issue feel free to add some comments.

It needs to be said that I  I have no sympathies for the nazi regime but this relic from the past is important for the future generations to remember the atrocities that war can unleash upon mankind.
