1948 (Sep 3) Hong Kogn local registered cover, applied with scarce Webb type Gi “Postage Paid/ 2/ Hong Kong” cds. in red, along with

1948 (Sep 3) Hong Kogn local registered cover, applied with scarce Webb type Gi “Postage Paid/ 2/ Hong Kong” cds. in red, along with Registered G.P.O. Hong Kong cds and registered label. It is the rarest type of postage paid cds. On 3 Sep 1948, a typhoon hit Hong Kong and the post office staff living in Kowloon were not able to access the office in Hong Kong Island. These postage paid cds were put in use during 11 am to 3.30 pm. Only a few examples of this cancellation exist. Extremely scarce. 1948.9.3 香港本埠掛號封，鈐少見之Webb Gi型“POSTAGE PAID / HONG KONG”2字日戳，旁見總局掛號日戳及掛號標籤。Webb指此為最稀罕的香港已付日戳。1948年9月3日颱風襲港，居住於九龍的郵局職員未能到港島郵局上班，此預付日戳僅於當天上午11時至下午3時半使用，故存世信封者極為稀罕。
