1885 Swatow (30 Jun) to Hong Kong, applied with Swatow BPO Webb type B cds in black. F.w. Hong Kong QV 5c, tied by B62 obliterator upon arrival, matching with Hong Kong (1 Jul) arrival cds. According to Webb, S2 was withdrawn in the latter half of 1885 when the general withdrawal of treaty port obliterator took place. Very peculiar example of leaving the stamp uncancelled when departing from Swatow. Ex- Percival David.

1885.6.30 汕頭寄香港，鈐汕頭英局Webb B型黑色日戳。貼香港維多利亞女皇像5仙，銷B62殺手戳，另鈐香港7.1到達戳。Webb指S2殺手戳在1885年下半年連其他商埠之殺手戳一同被停用。此封於離開汕頭時未有銷票，十分奇特難得。大維德爵士舊藏。
