3049 汕頭一對僑批封 A Pair Qiao Pi Cover from Swatow ​

Both covers mailed to Hong Kong from Swatow on 26th October 1949. Franked with one ordinary mail unit stamp, consistent with the postage of the time. Swatow had been liberated on 24th October 1949. These covers were mailed three days after Swatow’s liberation. During the early days after Swatow’s liberation, post offices still sold DGP-issued unit, basic currency and Silver Yuan stamps. It was legitimate to use Silver Yuan stamps prior to November 1, 1949. These covers are rarely seen examples of Post Liberation Silver Yuan Overseas Chinese Letter Agency mail.​ 這兩實寄封同是1949年10月26日由汕頭寄香港廣生隆,貼平信單位郵票加蓋1枚,符合其時平信郵資。1949年10月24日汕 頭解放,為汕頭解放後3天使用。汕頭解放初期郵局仍然出售中華郵政的單位、基數和銀圓郵票,1949年11月以前使用銀 圓郵票是符合規定的。是較為難得的僑批封。​ HK$ 7,000 - 8,000
