This set has 9 values all simply surcharges and all hand stamped in black. The total output from Hailar was 19 overprints, which seems a small number for the size of town.

This cover was sent from Hailar to Shanxi province (山西省), Qingyuan county (清源县), Gaobai district/area (高白镇).

         
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.
