Covers
1962 (13 Jan.) cover to U.S.A. bearing 15c. tied by propaganda postmark of The 19th Exhibition of H.K. Products. Due to a fire, the industrial exhibition was closed for maintenance from December 7 to December 19 1961 and reopened on December 20. The close of the exhibition was postponed to January 20 1962. The "day" on the promotional postmark (December 5, 1961 to January 8, 1962) was removed, only the year and month left. This posrcard (HK-B-) only took ten days, so it is rare. The cover with original promotional postmark is for reference.


1962年1月13日寄美國封, 貼香港一角五分票, 蓋第十九屆工展會蓋(火災後) 宣傳戳. 查該紀念戳因火災關係, 工展會在1961年12月7日至12月19日關閉維修. 在1961年12月20日重開, 故工展會順延至1962年1月20日才閉幕, 故此宣傳戳上原有的日期 (1961年12月5日至1962年1月8日) 上的"日" 去掉留空, 只餘年份及月份. 而此戳 (HK-B)只用了十天, 故而罕見, 附原來的宣傳戳實寄封作參考.
