北東 North East.
Note: The Post-war Provisional Issues of North East China, MLO Volume 1. written by Dr George T. Luzitano mentions a possible additional pair of 10f "Friendship issue" stamps with a Mukden Type overprint. To this he assigns the number FT63a. This appears to be a tentative sighting with only one stamp ever being reported. All of the stamps listed by Kerr and Chan 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. | ||||||||
