both covers are correctly franked at the 13,000 yuan (Old RMB) airmail rate, routed via Canton and Hong Kong for onward transmission by Pan American Airways (PAA) to USA. The first cover, dated October 30, 1950, was sent from Foochow to New York, franked with eight stamps totaling 13,000 yuan, paying the correct postage. The second cover, sent by the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Medical College of Lingnan University to Pittsburgh, is also correctly franked with two stamps totaling 13,000 yuan. These two covers illustrate the operation of international airmail from the early period of PRC under the Old RMB currency system, representing an important transitional phase in the development of China’s transpacific postal service. Both are well-preserved with clear postmarks and hold significant postal history and exhibition value.
