Java. Rejected artists drawing of ca. 130 x 175 mm for a general issue stamp of 3½ cent (rate for a postcard), depicting a stylized frame with flowers and sunbeams and 'DAI NIPPON', by using pencil and crayon in green and blue, with on the reverse written 'Tjonto pranko' (= postage stamp example) and 'M. Oemar' (the name of the designer) 'Gang Noer No. 51/3A Bandoeng' (his home address). Unique!

Java. Postage dues Dutch printing of 25 cent no. 85a and 40 cent no. 87a in pair on the back of a postal package form for a package of 1.75 kg originating from Keboemen, sent to Pasoeroean -5.9.05. Rare usage of postage dues

Java. 3½ cent postcard in offset printing Bu.J1b from Bandoeng 4.4.42 (Christian year), written in Dutch which was still allowed in April 1942, to Djokjakarta, tied by the lozenge shaped cancel with Dutch text 'Seint via Radio' (= Signals via Radio). Rare usage of this postmark during the Japanese occupation, only known from Bandoeng ( latest usage in May 1942) and Cheribon (vN) V.080, R). Info enclosed

Java. Looking for the addressee. 3½ Cent postcard (offset printing) Bu.J1b, written in Dutch which was still allowed in April 1942, from Djokjakarta 30.4.42 to a certain home address in Bandoeng, cancelled in violet 'TIDA DIPERKENANKEN / KOMBALI :' (= not allowed, return), a label is affixed with text 'adres baroe' (= new address) and from Bandoeng back to Djokjakarta -1.6.02, under address Hotel Djokja is written 'tida diperkenanken, kombali'

Java. 3½ + 3½ Cent postcard with reply-paid card attached Bu.2 sent from Bataviacentrum (= Djakarta) 18.8.02 to Bandoeng, the reply-card from Bandoeng 31.8.02 back to Djakarta. This double card showing both the outward card and the still attached reply-card genuinely used is very scarce!

Java. 3½ Cent postcard Bu.J11 cancelled in blue with the train-halt postmark GANDROENGMANGOEN (vNV.065, RR) via Maos 30.5.04 (Malay-Japanese cancel, vNV.100) to Semarang. Wonderful and rare item!

Java. 2 Sen Kusunoki Red Warrior postcard without overprint (which is rare) cancelled with the commemorative cachet 'One year reopening of the postal service on 29 April 1943', the birthday of the Japanese emperor. The colour is red-violet or lilac-red, which is used in Djakarta and Soerabaja

Java. 3½ Sen postcard Bu.6 bearing 5 cent Dancer (6x) from Soerabaja 23.7.05 registered to Magelang 24.7.05. The new rate as of 1 July 1945 was 5 sen for a postcard and 30 sen for registration fee. Because previously sold 3½ sen cards were still accepted, the franking of this card is 33½ sen. Interesting item!

Java. 2 Cent Moehammadijah in pair on green postcard from Djokjakarta 31.12.02 to Bogor. The postal rate is 3½ cent, maybe the sender liked to use the 2 cent green Moehammadijah stamp instead of the brown 3½ cent or does not have a 3½ cent available. The printed text lower left suggests to use Moehammadijah stamps

Java. 2½ Cent Dancer in pair on locally sent cover from Soerabaja 24.6.03 for which the postal local rate is 5 cent. Very nice franking of this official mail (Koo Yoo) in superb quality

Java. 2 Sen from the series of commemorative stamps as a single franking for printed matter rate on cover from Djakartakota 26.3.03 to Soekaboemi

Java. 5 Sen from the series of commemorative stamps and definitive issue of 10 cent and 20 cent in pair on a cover from Tegal 28.11.-04 sent registered and by express delivery to Semarang 28.11.04. Attractive mixed issue franking and interesting rate of 55 cent (10 cent letter + 20 registration fee + 25 cent express service)

Java. 10 Cent definitive issue on cover from Solo 26.9.04 to Djakarta showing in red a circular message cachet 'AWAS MATA-MATA MOESOEH!' (= Beware of enemy spies) (vNV.464). Scarce!

Java. 20 Cent definitive issue on Singer Sewing Machines cover (US printing) from Magelang -2.12.0.-3 (vNV.050) to Djakarta, on 6 Dec 1943 received by the company

Java. 2½ Cent Kreisler and 7½ cent Dancer both showing the former country name crossed out with a pen in red ink on a money order Bu.JF21a to transfer 15 roepiah from Tjiparaj -3.8.02 to Madjalengka. Only a few items from Tjiparaj are known with this provisional way of deleting the country name in red. For similar item see: MTC, p.91

Java. 5 Sen from the series of commemorative stamps, 2 copies on a complete money order, type meant for international use, to transfer 10 roepiah from Moentilan 9.6.05 to Djatilawang 11.6.05, with on the reverse several cancellations such as Poerwokerto 16.7.05 (vNV.050, R) and notes. Apparantly the post office of Moentilan did not have inland money order forms available. A most unusual and very rare usage of this international money order!
