This is a set of three stamps with an oily black overprint, widely spaced, reading 中華民國 Chinese Republic. The design of this overprint appears to deliberately obliterate the value of the stamp making postal use problematic. |

| 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. | ||||||
