Lot 186

1903 Yechow to USA, f.w. Coiling Dragon 5c in pair, tied by faint (probably Yenchow) Sun-and-Moon cds. On reverse with Sutsien PO with tombstone cancel. Further transit Tsingkiangpu (12 Jun), Chinkiang (12 Jun), Shanghai Chinese and French PO (13 Jun), San Francisco (13 Jul). Despite the faint cancellation, Sun-and-Moon cds on outgoing mails are very scarce. Cover roughly opened at right. 2011 (Jun) John Bull.
