1910 and 1912 a pair of CIP 4th Print PSC from Yunnanfu to Hong Kong and England, former uprated by with 1c while latter uprated by 3c, tied by Yunnanfu and Chaotung cds respectively. Since Feb 1907, rate from Yunnan to Hong Kong was unified with the rest of mainland China (postcard rate 1c) as Yunnan-Indochina Railway was operational. However, the first card was paying 2c, hence peculiar. Latter was correct international postcard rate. A nice pair.

1910及1912年一對大清第四版郵資片，自雲南府寄香港及英國。前者加蓋1分，後者加蓋3分，分別銷雲南府及昭通日戳。自1907年2月，因滇越鐵路安南段通車，郵包直接封發，故寄香港郵資與中國大陸各地統一（明信片1分），但前者貼付2分，奇特。後者則為正確國際明信片郵資。可互為對比。
