1918, Oct 2. YMCA envelope showing ´´U.S. POSTAL AGENCY/SHANGHAI (CHINA)-1´´ duplex which provisionally was used by the American troops in Siberia, with censoship at bottom left. A most interesting usage of this temporary postmark which appears with a blurred strike for the great majority and it is barely legible in most cases, with very few usages which have been recorded from 25.9 to 17.10.1918. Closed tear at top and top back flap missing, not detracting. A significant rarity and a must for collectors of this field.
