This 1937 full sheet from Manchukuo features the 2½ fen violet issue from the China Mail series, displaying the emblematic state crest and a stylized orchid, based on the Cymbidium goeringii, symbolizing nobility and traditional East Asian refinement. Issued under the Japanese-sponsored regime in northeastern China, the stamp was printed by gravure with a perforation of 13 x 13½ and bears a multiple-character watermark in upright orientation. The state crest—a composite of the orchid and radiating star—is placed within an ornate frame, conveying imperial legitimacy and controlled elegance. As part of the official Manchukuo postal program, this issue reflects the attempt to fuse native symbolism with propagandistic aesthetics during occupation. The presented mint never hinged full sheet contains 80 stamps with full original gum and margin inscriptions, showing minor foxing in the selvage but no impact on the stamps themselves. Cataloged as Scott MA112, Michel CN-MA 102, Yvert CN-MA 101, Stanley Gibbons CN-MA 65, China Stamp Society CN-MA MC69, and Sakura CN-MA 68. This sheet represents an uncommon survivor in intact format from the complex philatelic legacy of Manchukuo. Estimate "$160 – 200"
