R.O.C. (Taiwan) Cachet and Cover Circa Early 1970s

REPUBLIC OF CHINA (TAIWAN) cachet and four cover stamps issued in the 1970s. Interestingly this cover is a bit of an oddity; most, but certainly not all,  cachets are related to the stamps affixed to an envelope. This one falls in that mishmash category.

The  cachet commemorated the Republic of China winning of twin championships in the 9 September 1975 Little League World Series. There was a stamp issued, but it was not included on this cover. The cachet was printed by the Directorate General of Posts, Ministry of Transportation and Communications of the Republic of China.

The stamps:

- The photograph of Chiang Kai-shek and his mother, Wang Caiyu,  was one of three different postage stamps  issued to commemorate the 90th birthday of President Chiang Kai-shek. The value of the stamp was likely 2.00 ROC dollars. It was first issued on 31 October 1976.

 - To celebrate the 120th Birthday of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the portraits of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the "Founding Father" of the Republic of China, and Chiang Kai-shek was featured in a single stamp. It commemorated the Eleventh National Congress of the Kuomintang of China. It was a face value of 10.00 ROC dollars. It was issued on 12 November 1976. Yan Qishi  illustrated it, whereas the printer was China Color Printing Company.

- The stamp positioned vertically represented Taichung, which was the second-largest port in Taiwan, located in Wuqi District, Taichung. It carried a face value of 3.00 ROC dollars. This stamp was issued circa 1974.

- A postage stamp of the Northern Railway Line from Hualien to Ilan, was part of the "Nine Major Construction Projects" series in R.O.C. (Taiwan). The denomination was presumably 1.00 ROC dollars. It was issued on 31 October 1974.
