Between 1925 and 1932, the Chinese Bureau of Engraving and Printing (PBMF) issued a complete set of surcharged stamps from the Second Peking Print of the iconic Junk series, adjusting denominations to meet evolving postal needs in an era of economic adjustment. This definitive set includes surcharges on earlier printings, revalued to 1, 3, and 5 Chinese cents, and was used widely throughout the Republic for domestic correspondence. Printed in greenish slate and various other shades using gravure printing, the stamps feature a stylized Chinese junk ship sailing through stylized waves, symbolizing China's enduring trade traditions and national resilience during a time of political fragmentation and modernization. Each stamp is perforated line 14 and issued without watermark. The set comprises Scott IM 247, 330, 288–289, 325, 274, and 339–340, and is also listed as Michel CN-IM 182, 256, 228–229, 250, 171, 263–264, respectively, with equivalents in Yvert, Gibbons, and China Stamp Society catalogues. Condition Fine used, with legible postal cancels, clean design visibility, and intact perforations across all examples. A highly desirable complete group reflecting the monetary and postal transitions of Republican China. Estimate "$90 – 120"
