We've seen Chinese famine relief labels(?) on SOR before. I don't know where to find the thread(s), but try doing a search.
If my memory is correct, they were issued/sold by US charity group(s) to help relieve the famine in China in 1920s.

I recently acquired a small collection of world-wide stamps dating ca. 1962 or earlier and I've come across a few items that I can't find in my Scott's catalog. I'm guessing they have no real value but I would still like to know something about them. Date issued, catalog value, etc. I'm not even sure if the stamp at the bottom is from China... Any input will be appreciated. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
