re: Hi value triangle.

See the 3-3 in the lower left? That tells you this is from a 3-stamp set, of which this is the 3rd stamp. That is a standard designation used on the stamps of China.

re: Hi value triangle.

Prices must have risen enormously. My Scott 2009 lists this stamp for $13 unused when P 12.5 and $4 when P 14. Michel 2012 has them at 25 and 5 euros respectively.
It is difficult judging from a photo, but it looks P 14 to me. Remarkable that this was a stamp you could find in cheap "junk" packets not that long ago.

re: Hi value triangle.

Chinese stamps were once a "drug on the market" and for many years seem to have been considered about two small clicks above floor sweepings.
During the late 1960- early '70s I accumulated several folders or bags full of the Chinese Republic stamps (pre-1949). Many times as I was leaving a stamp shop with my precious purchases, and having a few dollars left to spend I would look through the bulk lot folders, often near the exit door.
I had a lightly used "Ma's Chinese Stamp" catalog to go with my Scott and Minkus World Wide catalog sets so may evenings I worked my way though pages and pages of China, at times becoming almost cross eyed as I tried to deal with the numerous overprints and secret marks as well as paper and perforation varieties, mounting anything that looked like a variation whether in the Ma Catalog or not in a home made loose leaf album.

During the last twenty years as China's economy and connections with the West improved the prices of Chinese stamps have certainly soared.

I follow some stamp auction's pricing and most stamps lots are "estimated" by the auctioneers very optimistically, and usually the winning bids are 30% to 50% below their fantasy world "guesstimate."
Not so Chinese lots.
In fact often the prices realized on such stamps, both Mainland China and Taiwan will close at double what has to have been a most optimistic estimate. There wqas a lot of early China republic issues that sold for about $1,400 US against an estimate that had been between $300 and $400.

So seeing the comments above,I dug out the China Album and backup stock pages, finding all three of the triangle stamps referred to in what appears to be postally used condition. They do not look like favor or CTO cancels. The Perf is definitely lower than 14.
It is interesting that they may be worth something, because I could only have gotten them at some shop where they were being sold in bulk for a pittance, back in the days when a pittance was all I could afford.
Later when I have time I guess I ought to pay some attention to all the Chinese stamps that have been accumulated at the back of the thirty-five year old home made album on tok pages
