This is a very recognisable set due to the star emblem. These are the only stamps issued by this village. It should be noted that a 30f stamp is shown here, instead of the 20f mentioned by Kerr. Chan does not mention a 20f and from this I suspect this was one of Kerr's few errors. Chan lists a further two sets for this town, these are not recognised by Kerr. |

| 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. | ||||||
