13 Feb 1905, a C.I.P. 2nd series stationery card sent from the Xincheng District, Canton, to the United States, uprated with one 1-cent and 2-cent coiled dragon stamps, cancelled by two Canton bilingual biscted c.d.s. Next to it is a rare "Xincheng Canton Post Office/IMPERIAL POST OFFICE" special large circular double-ring postmark. It was then transferred to the Shanghai bilingual postmark and then to Yokohama, Japan and received an arrival mark in Brooklyn, United States. The Xincheng Canton P.O. sub-office postal double-ring postmark itself is rare in itself. Due to being a local sub-office, the locals mostly used it for red-band envelopes sent within the Mainland China. So, it is even rarer to have stationery card in use of such special local circular stamp for overseas mail to Brooklyn, U.S.A. SOLD AS IS. Authenticity not guaranteed, no returns after purchase. Please preview in person.
