Richard ... further to Janet's comments, have a look at Sc. 890 or Sc. 898. Both were issued without gum in 1949. The design was used on a number of ROC and PRC stamps. However, without an overprint, it would appear to be one of the above two. I can't be sure without a higher resolution scan. Sc. 898 is a re-drawn version of Sc. 890.
Sc. 890 was engraved and has a US CV of $0.45 (mint). Sc. 898 was produced by Lithography and has a CV of $0.30.
If it is one of these two, you can determine which one you have by the perf ... Sc. 890 is 14. Sc. 898 is 12.5.
Cheers, Hugh
