Lot# 9080

franked with a “Sui (IV)” postage meter label of 15 fen and four 10 fen Dr. SYS unit stamps, tied by Kutsing cds, paying the correct foreign airmail rate of 55 fen. This cover, addressed to Latin America, represents a highly unusual destination during the Silver Yuan period, reflecting the limited but significant long-distance postal connections from South China to Central and South America in the immediate post-war era. The combined use of postage meter label and adhesive stamps illustrates the flexible franking practices adopted under conditions of irregular postal supply. According to records, only one such Silver Yuan postage meter cover to Latin America has been recorded. The present example, clearly struck and correctly rated, is a unique survivor, offering important insight into foreign airmail rates, transoceanic routes, and practical meter usage in this transitional postal period, and is of considerable postal history and exhibition significance.
