This is a complete set of 4 stamps with
a soft purple
chop reading
Chinese Republic Commemorate August 15th (Tun Hwa) and below
this the surcharge in Arabic numerals and Chinese.
There is one further stamp (only seen on a cover with a different overprint) known for this town. |

| 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. | ||||||
