Chan lists this as a the set Kerr says had
been reported but not verified, Kerr was unable to include a sketch
and it is possible that he though they were surcharged. 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. | ||||||
