1883 (Feb. 12) part newspaper wrapper from Shanghai to the Commissioner of Customs, Ichang, showing on reverse "Shanghai/Local Post/2" small double-ring origin datestamp in blue on reverse, and on front the rare "Hankow Customs/Mail Matter" large unframed oval handstamp (type I) with serifed letters in red and matching "Customs/Hankow" double-ring datestamp (2.19), top left portion of the wrapper with addressee's name has been torn away, unusual and interesting usage demonstrating the workings of the Shanghai Local Post system and its cooperation with the Customs Post, Fine to Very Fine strikes.
