Lot 111

1949 (Oct 10) Postcard f.w. C1 Political Conference complete set, tied by scarce “Celebrate the Founding of Central Government / Peking” commemorative h.s, alongside with Peking (Express) cds. C1 was the first commemorative issue of PRC, issued on 8 Oct 1949 (7 days after the establishment of PRC). This example was dated only 2 days later. An extraordinary early usage of C1 issues, being very close to first day, not to mention being used by scarce postmark.

1949.10.10 明信片貼紀1政治協商會議全，銷珍罕之“慶祝中央人民政府成立紀念 / 北京”紀念日戳，旁鈐北京（快）日戳。紀1為新中國首套紀念票，於1949年10月8日發行，即新中國成立七日之後。此例蓋銷日期僅為發行2日之後，乃極早之紀1貼用例子，與首日相當接近，更遑論蓋銷珍貴難得之紀念日戳，
