My comment:
(a) 1980年中國猴年八分郵票
(b) "Small One Dollar" stamp 1897年清朝「紅印花3分加蓋改值小字當壹圓」郵票 (小壹圓加蓋票 for short)
The stamp shown in this report--and to be auctioned--is SMALL One Dollar. The difference between Small One Dollar 小壹圓加蓋票 and Large One Dollar 大壹圓加蓋票 is the size of characters 當壹圓 ONLY. "大清郵政" above and "1 dollar" below were of the same size in both Large and Small One Dollar.
See the top two stamps in
