Lot 1060

Swatow Postal Service 1c stationery cover essay, with “PROVISIONAL” on indicia. Swatow did not establish a local post but a number of essays or bogus issues have been reported by Livingston and Dougan. All surviving examples are extremely scarce.

汕頭地方書信館1分郵資封之樣封，郵資圖加蓋“PROVISIONAL”。汕頭並未建立書信館，但Livingston及Dougan都記載若干原型存世，均極為珍罕難得。t
