1901 From steamship Crefeld to Germany, frankless, applied with scarce “KAIS. DEUTSCHE SCHIFFSPOST DAMPFER CREFELD” circular postmark.

1901 From steamship Crefeld to Germany, frankless, applied with scarce “KAIS. DEUTSCHE SCHIFFSPOST DAMPFER CREFELD” circular postmark. Arrived Wiesbaden (20 Oct). The steamship Crefeld was chartered to transport troops to Taku. It was given the Marine-shiffspost cancel No. 72. After the Boxer Rebellion, Crefeld was used to transport troops back to Germany but a private “CREFELD DAMPFER” cancel was used instead. In use only from Aug to late Oct 1901, hence, a great rarity.1901年由汽船Crefeld號寄德國，無貼票，鈐極罕之“KAIS. DEUTSCHE SCHIFFSPOST DAMPFER CREFELD”圓戳。10.24抵Wesel。汽船Crefeld號在八國聯軍時期被徵用以運送軍隊至大沽，當時使用海軍72局日戳。戰後再次用作運送軍隊回國，但改为使用這款圓戳，僅見於1901年8月至10月底使用，為一大珍品。
