In a Hongkong second hand shop, not far from our Hotel, I found this little tray of 30 Chinese characters. I tried printing them first with block stamp ink then I inked up with black letterpress ink and placed them in a galley to make a good print for identification. My Uncle, Bob Chartres, has a friend who is an expert in old Chinese Characters so I hope to find out the meaning of these.
