This stamp was not known to Kerr but is
listed in Chan, a good example of why you need both books. The feint
overprint reads
中華民國 Chinese Republic. Chan also shows another set for this town. |

| 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. | ||||||||
