1908 Viewcards (2) to London both franked 4k from traveller on CER heading eastwards for Japan, first datelined « Harbin 878/08 » and message « …expect to be in Vladivostok tomorrow » incorrectly cancelled with oval VLADIVOSTOK-264_HARBIN ‘b’ instead of HARBIN-263-VLADIVOSTOCK ‘b’ , second card dated « Vladivostok 9/8/08 » message « Just leaving here for Tsuruga, Japan », postal clerk has continued to use incorrect canceller and also neglected to change the date, interesting pair Note: Postal wagons of the CER carried cancellers for both directions and use of the wrong one is not infrequent
