Chinkiang
Postal Stationery
1894 1c. Brown Card
1894 (18 Oct.) card registered locally uprated with third issue Postage Due 1c. and 6c. tied by circular Chinkiang handstamp in blue-black, a very faint strike of the large Chinkiang Postal Service c.d.s. in blue (a better strike on the reverse) and a good strike of the boxed "registered/no 9" struck in blue. A rare and desirable card offering many unusual features and is probably the only Chinkiang stationery card which has been registered. Photo
