China 1897 "Imperial Customs Post' Tokyo printing SG106China 1897 "Imperial Customs Post' Tokyo printing $2 orange and yellow, SG106. A fine mint example of this very scarce stamp with fresh colour. A couple of slightly short perforations with traces of original gum. This classic stamp issue from 1897 depicts a wild goose (or Bean Goose). The bean goose was an important motif in Chinese poetry symbolising bearing a message of love from afar. It is an apt and appealing symbol for this Qing Dynasty stamp.
