日本客邮局: 1896年1月7日烟台寄德国半分 (PC2型) 邮资片, 销黑色烟台工部双圈日戳, 片左下端盖另一同色烟台工部双圈日戳, 左上端加贴两枚日本一钱小判两枚, 销上海日本客邮戳; 因邮资不足而盖上海日本客邮圆圈型 "T" 欠资戳, "cts/T" 及 "美国收取/6仙", 而2月7日三藩市中转戳及3月2日纽约到达戳均盖于片的左下端; 充满趣味性的邮资片, 由于片背加贴上的订购牛乳广告纸, 即表示要收取国际信件邮费, 本来2钱为恰当的寄海外明信片邮资就变成邮资不足了, 而本片亦为仅见的烟台书信馆寄美国之混贴片. ChefooPostal StationeryPost CardsJapanese Post Office: 1896 (7 Jan.) ½c. green card (PC2) cancelled by Local Post c.d.s. in black with a second strike at foot, uprated with pair of Japan 1s. Koban tied by shanghai/i.j.p.o. c.d.s.; underpaid and with Japanese Post Office Shanghai T in circle tax handstamp, ctms/T and u.s.charge/to collect/6/cents plus San Francisco (7.2) and New York arrival (2.3) c.d.s.A most interesting card sent from Tungchow bearing a Milkmaid Brand coupon affixed on the reverse (tied by the Shanghai Local Post c.d.s.) requesting a can of condensed milk to be sent to the sender. The addition of this coupon meant that this card had to be treated as a letter, so was underpaid. This card holds a great appeal and is probably unique in this respect. Photo
