Amoy Agency of the Shanghai Local Post Envelopes 1893 (May) manila "postage paid 1 cent" envelope (E1g) to Shanghai "Pr S.S. Keung Pai" showing the variety of the embossing struck on the upper right side of the envelope. Cancelled by a fine strike of the bilingual "amoy local post/agency" struck in blue and, on the reverse, Shanghai Local Post arrival c.d.s. (6.5) and postman's delivery characters. Some light soiling. Thought to be the earliest example of this manila envelope used in Amoy. Photo
