HISTORY

TRAINS on POSTAL STATIONERY CHINA - REPUBLIC (1911-1949)

The indicium on the series of postal cards below was issued as a stamp in 1913, so presumably that is the date of issue of the earliest of these cards. Usage dates on the ones shown here run up to 1935, so they must have been issued at least until then. I suspect there are many more of these, with different denominations, overprints, papers, etc.
