Interesting photos taken at HONG KONG 2004 Stamp Expo

Junior supervisors at HONG KONG 2004 Stamp Expo? These children are watching keenly how the demonstrator operates this old manual perforation machine manufactured in 1970 by Netherlands' Joh. Enschede Stamps Security Printers B.V. Stamp perforation is one of the stamp security features.

They are not taking photos for the new Smart ID Card with embedded e-Cert but for the personalized "My Stamp" sheetlet on which their own images can be printed - a unique souvenir to take home after the HONG KONG 2004 Stamp Expo.

The Stamp Zone in the Youth Corner of the HONG KONG 2004 Stamp Expo is so popular that over 16,000 teenagers have participated in the past four days. Just take a look at the queues and you know!

A loom? No, it's a 160-year-old Copper Plate Press made in the UK. It is still in perfect working condition and is one of the most "hard working" displays in the HONG KONG 2004 Stamp Expo. All visitors are keen to take the freshly printed sheetlets as souvenirs.
