| This is a set of eleven stamps with a hard purple surcharge. Top two characters 中華 China, below this 北東 North East and for the bottom row, the first two characters are the surcharge followed by 作妀 Revalued. | ||||||||
|
|
||||||||
| Note; Chan lists the following sets as belonging to a separate town called Yue Lin Tsun or Yu Lin Chen. The style and content of these overprints makes me think that all of the stamps are from the same town and Kerr is correct in this instance, although it is possible that Chan has seen some covers that prove this not to be the case. | ||||||||

Note; Chan lists this set for a separate town with a similar name Yue lin Tsun (or Yu Lin Chen), he does not recognise the violet overprint but lists the red. |

| 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. | ||||||||
