I am trying to sort the Junk issues of 1913 from 1915. I read the notes in Scott and on a web site, but I am not sure I see the difference.Can someone post a good large clear scan of each issue. Then maybe I would see the difference.
Thanks for helping someone who can not see the light for the forest.

Try China junk stamp printings. Post again if you still have questions.

Image on left is London Printing. Note peak of wave closest to Junk above the "H" in CHINA
Image on right is Peking Printing. Note peak of wave closest to Junk above the "H" in CHINA
In the Peking printing, the wave has a verticle white line added that points up to and touches the Junk.
A closer view of the wave.
Also note that the water is choppier in the Peking printing

First I want to thank everyone for the information. I must be dull or it could be my eyesight. My left eye I have very little vision.
I am still not sure I have this figured out.
I have posted a few of the stamps I have of many. The question is are they all the London Printing?

No. The first three are the Peking printings, and the fourth one is London.
Look at the sharp point of the wave just barely touching the junk to the right of the bow on the first three stamps. You will find the point missing on the fourth stamp and there is some water between the peak of the wave and the junk.

Much simpler & easier on the eyes
Heavy fringe - Beijing Print
Light Fringe - London Print
Interestingly - this is also considered a train topical as you can just see the train in the right background crossing the bridge
