I am offering a set of two vintage Chinese commemorative stamps, "Beijing Architecture Designs." Symbol:普17 (Complete set of 2) Issue Date: December 1, 1974 Issuing Authority: Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the People's Republic of China This stamp set reflects the architecture and urban development of Beijing at the time. The designs symbolically represent an aspect of urban construction during that era. Stamp 1 (left) features "Beijing Hotel." Beijing Hotel, located on East Chang'an Avenue in Beijing, is a renowned hotel representing Beijing, founded in 1900. It consists of three buildings: East, Central, and West. Stamp 2 (right) features "Capital Gymnasium." The Capital Gymnasium in Beijing, built in 1968, is a large gymnasium in Haidian District, Beijing, and one of the largest facilities in China. It has a seating capacity of 18,000 and can be used for sports such as basketball, volleyball, and badminton, and can also accommodate ice hockey and skating by changing the floor. Small errors are often found in stamps from the early days of New China. In this stamp set, one stamp clearly states "Capital Gymnasium," but the other does not have the characters for "Beijing Hotel." However, from another perspective, this could be considered the unique characteristic of these stamps. Overall, this stamp set has not only collection value but also a certain historical and cultural value. It is an attractive collectible for collectors and a valuable historical resource for researchers. These are actual used stamps from the time. They are in good condition for used items from that era. Please check the images for details. No returns or exchanges. Shipping costs will be covered by the seller.
