Lot# 9085

franked to the inclusive rate of 11,200 yuan (Old RMB), the cover was mailed from Harbin on 11 June 1953 and backstamped at Canton on 18 June, showing transit via South China before onward dispatch to San Francisco. The postage comprised 2,200 yuan for the first 20g of international surface postage and an airmail surcharge of 9,000 yuan per 10g to “Other Countries,” totaling 11,200 yuan. The cover demonstrates accurate franking and proper application of the revised international airmail rate, illustrating the continued normalization of China’s international postal system during the early 1950s. A scarce and well-preserved postal history example from Northeast China to the United States, with full and clear postal markings, representing an important transitional usage under the Old RMB system.
