Lot 3115

1911 Soche (2 Jul) to Tihwa. Large official cover, frankless, applied with Wusu (6 Jul) transit cds and Tihwa (16 Jul) arrival cds. Frankless as this mail was registered for monthly payment. Originating from towns other than Tihwa is even more unusual.

1911.7.2 莎車寄迪化。大型公文封，無貼票，鈐烏蘇7.6中轉戳及迪化7.16到達戳。此封採用公文掛號聯單交案制度，即零寄整付，故無貼票。出自迪化以外城鎮更是少見。
