1891 (1 Aug) Cochinchine parcel bill, f.w. French Colonies ovpt. “INDO-CHINE / TIMBRE / COLIS POSTAUX” 10c, tied by Saigon Central cds.

1891 (1 Aug) Cochinchine parcel bill, f.w. French Colonies ovpt. “INDO-CHINE / TIMBRE / COLIS POSTAUX” 10c, tied by Saigon Central cds. French Indochina PO had to collect both postage and stamp duty for parcel and latter was 10c (paid at 2c in local currency) as the stamp shows. Desrousseax stated that the parcel stamp on parcel bill was rarely cancelled. Also, most of these bills were destroyed upon receipt of the parcel. And even those which are lucky enough to survive, are usually damaged during transport. Hence, this very fine example is gathering multiple specialities. Illustration p. 239 in “Les Postes et Courriers Francais en Extreme-Orient Livre 3 - Obliterations Civiles des Postes d’Indochine Francaise et Des Bureaux Francais en Chine” and 1982 “Les Timbres Pour Colis Postaux d’Indochine...des Timbres Fiscaux!”, “Bulletin Col.
