Amoy
Agency of the Shanghai Local Post
Envelopes
1893 (25 July) "postage paid 1 cent" envelope (E1b) to Diercking in Swatow uprated with pair of 1893 ½c. on half 5c. vermilion (S.G. 151-152) tied by two superb strikes of bilingual "amoy local post/agency" in blue with the Local Post Agency code "J" c.d.s. alongside. There is some trivial ageing which in no way detracts from this rare and appealing cover.

Thought to be the earliest example of the Amoy Agency c.d.s. Photo
