1941 Hong Kong to USA, f.w. Hong Kong KGVI $1 x4 + $10 (Yang 146) + Centenary of British Occupation 25c but uncancelled, alongside with “NOT OPENED BY CENSOR” mark, LR mark and registered mark. Showing “PER PAN AMERICAN AIRWAYS CLIPPER” annotation. Transit Honolulu (1 Nov). Arrived New York (6 Nov). Peculiar example of having censor department marking but no postmark as the postal censor department was in the GPO building, not to mention the scarce high denomination franking. 1941年香港寄美國，貼香港佐治六世1元x4 + 10元（楊目146）+ 開埠百週年2角5分，無蓋銷，另鈐“NOT OPENED BY CENSOR”橫戳、LR章及掛號章。印有“PER PAN AMERICAN AIRWAYS CLIPPER”批示。11.1經火奴魯魯，11.6抵紐約。由於郵件檢查之部門正位於郵政總局內，故有LR章但郵票無蓋銷甚為奇特。高面值貼票同樣難得。
