Description
HARBIN: 1921 Picture postcard to Chefoo, China, franked pair of 2k surcharged 2 cents in red cancelled Harbin Type 4M dated 11 1 21, rare genuine Harbin surcharge usage Note: The influx of refugees into Manchuria during 1919-20 led to a great increase in postal traffic and a shortage of stamps surcharged in Chinese currency, which was the only currency in Manchuria at that time. The postmaster of Harbin authorised the local surcharging of low value stamps of the Arms issue, using the printing works of the Russian Cathedral at Harbin. The surcharged stamps were issued in October 1920 and remained in use until the early months of 1921 when the Russian Harbin office was closed.
