Hong Kong Treaty Ports
Swatow
1907 (12 Apr.) Hong Kong K.E.VII 1c. stationery card to Taiwan "via Swatow", cancelled by Victoria, Hong Kong c.d.s. with a good strike of Swatow type Giii c.d.s. (14.8) and Hin-nen arrival (6.9). Fine and a rare route. Occasionally mail was sent to Taiwan via Amoy, but this is thought to be the only example routed via Swatow. Photo

This is a very early date for the type Giii c.d.s. as Schoenfield and Webb record this first used in 1911 or 1912
