It should be noted that some stamps from nearby Ho Li were also used at Lien Kiang Kow Post Office. I have seen at least three covers confirming this. |

These are nice and easy to recognise
with the square black font. The top characters read
中華民國
Chinese Republic, below this
郵政 Postal
Service, and below that the surcharge separated by (改) meaning
change. All of the stamps known for this town are shown above. |

These stamps have been identified by using Volume II of the Stamp Catalogue of China by Shui-Hon Chan and the four booklet guide The Local Overprinted Stamps of Manchuria 1945-7 by Allen D Kerr (published 1978 and now out of print). Both works are essential for anyone delving seriously into this subject. | ||||||||
