This is a set of five soft black surcharges and is all there is for this town. Upper characters read 中華民國 Chinese Republic with the surcharge below. Above are all of the stamps known for this village. |

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. | ||||||||
