Lot 1513

1906 Vladivostok (20 Feb) to Canton. Picture postcard, f.w. Coat of Arms 2k + 1k, tied by Vladivostok cds. Transit Shanghai Russian PO with T&S type 3 cds. Further transit Hong Kong (27 Mar). Arrived Canton BPO (28 Mar) with scarce Webb type Di (index A) cds. Webb stated that this type of cds is curiously rare as most examples are index B. Incoming from Russia even elevates this piece.

1906.2.20 海參崴寄廣州。圖片明信片，貼軍徽圖2戈比 + 1戈比，銷海參葳日戳。經上海俄局，鈐T&S 3型日戳。3.27經香港。3.28抵廣州英局，鈐少見之Webb Di型（A字）日戳。Webb指D型日戳大多為B字，故A字稀罕難得。自俄國進口更是錦上添花。
