1939 (4 Nov.) pictorial envelope to Malvern "via Rangoon" bearing Sun Yat Sen $1.50 franking tied by Kunming, Yunnan c.d.s., fine and very scarce. Although this rate had been in place on the Hong Kong feeder service it was only available on the CNAC route via Rangoon for two days. This cover pays the $1.50 rate even though it was postmarked four days after it had been superseded. Also 1939 (25 Nov.) a similar envelope from the same correspondence but paying the $2.50 rate. A fine and desirable pair of covers. Rate 1.1.3.1, 1.1.3.2. Photo


1939年11月4日昆明經仰光寄英國Malvern美術封. 貼孫像票郵資一圓五角, 銷雲南昆明日戳, 少見. 因此郵費雖然已於往香港航路上實施, 但僅於CNAC 經仰光的航線上實施了两天. 而此郵費取消四天後, 此信封仍貼了一圓五角的郵資並被蓋銷. 另一1939年11月25日的相似信封, 却需要貼上二圓五角的郵資. 两封都保存良好.
