Lot 921

1879 Ningpo (10 Apr) to England. Hong Kong formular card f.w. QV surch 3c/16c (Yang P1; yellow card, black printing), with stamp franked upside down variety, applied with Ningpo BPO Webb type B index C cds alongside. Adhesive probably also applied with N1 obliterator but too faint to recognize. Transit Shanghai BPO (11 Apr) with S1 obliterator on adhesive. Further transit Hong Kong (13 Apr). Very peculiar and interesting example of adhesive upside down on formular card, not to mention originating from Ningpo. 1990 (Nov) Christie's Robson Lowe "Hong Kong and Treaty Ports The Christopher D'Almada Collection" lot 1084. With RPSL certificate.
