Hong Kong Treaty Ports
Liu Kung Tau
1905 (4 Mar.) Liu Kung Tau to England picture postcard franked Hong Kong KE VII 2c. tied by Liu Kung Tau Br. Post Office cds (Proud D3), transit by Shanghai (7.3), and transit again by Hong Kong (15.3). The circular T mark is likely to be a late use of Shanghai Proud UP6 (see Proud 1841-1997 p. 1135). 2c being the printed matter rate and Shanghai treated this as postcard, hence 2c deficient, thus 1d to collect on arrival.
Another postcard also from Liu Kung Tau on 1907 (19 Mar.) to England, bearing KEVII 4c. tied by Proud D4 cds.
