1902 Szemao (27 May) to Italy. View PPC, f.w. Coiling Dragon 4c, tied by Szemao bisected bilingual cds. Transit Mengtsz (8 Jun), Hokow (14 Jun). In combination with Navigation and Commerce issue 10c, tied by Laokay (14 Jun) cds. According to Lee Chung Ping, combination franking was still required by French Indochina Post after 1902, probably until Oct 1902. Given the inauguration of Yunnanfu Chinese PO on 12 Oct 1901, combination covers of Chinese and French Indochina franking only existed for about one year. One of the three existing examples of domestic mails from Yunnan with combination franking and paying for international rate. Illustration 11, p. 24 in "The Development of Yunnan Post System 1901-1949" by Mah Lang Moe. 2014.6 Harmers (Switzerland), lot 549. 1902.5.27 思茅寄意大利。風光明信片，貼蟠龍4分，銷思茅半切漢英日戳。6.8經蒙自，6.14經河口。加貼航海及商貿神像10生丁，銷6.14老街日戳。按李頌平《客郵外史》記載，印支郵局與在華法國客郵局不同，在1902年後仍需混貼。按存世例子推斷應維持至同年十月。另由於雲南省清郵於1901年10月12日開局，故混貼清郵及客郵票之郵件只出於一年時間。此為雲南寄國外，混貼印支票並支付國際郵資之存世三例之一。馬蘭茂著《雲南郵政史1901-1949》第24頁圖11原件。 2019年中泰聯合郵展特刊第67頁原件。 2020年8月《今日郵政》752期第22頁原件。 2014.6 瑞士Harmers拍品號549。

1902 Mongtze B (Yunnanfu) (19 Dec) to USA. Printer matter cover, f.w. Navigation and Commerce issue surch CHINE with Chinese value, tied by scarce Mongtze B cds. Transit Mongtze French PO (28 Dec), Laokay (4 Jan), Hanoi (11 Jan), Haiphong (12 Jan), Hong Kong (17 Jan). Arrived USA (20 Feb). Smiliar to the Laokay A post, French Indo-China established a post office in Yunnanfu in 1902 without permission from the Chinese Government. It was named Mongtze B to keep a low profile until a permission to set up a post office was granted Sep 1904. Mongtze B was then renamed Yunnanfu. About 20 covers from “Mongtze B” are known to survive. Illustration 9, p. 35 in "The Development of Yunnan Post System 1901-1949" by Mah Lang Moe. 1902.12.19 蒙自B（雲南府）寄美國。印刷品封，貼航海及商貿神像改值CHINE 二仙，銷稀罕之蒙自B法局日戳。12.28經蒙自法局，1.4經老街，1.11經河內，1.12經海防，1.17經香港。2.20抵美國。一如老街A局，法屬印支郵政在未經清政府批准擅自在雲南府設立郵局，在日戳上雋刻地名“蒙自B”以掩人耳目。1904年，清政府才同意法國在雲南府設局，於是改回“雲南府”地名。以“蒙自B” 地名發出的實寄封有20多件，是法國客郵中的罕品。馬蘭茂著《雲南郵政史1901-1949》第35頁圖9原件。《中華郵聯會刊》第二十四期原件。
