China Shanghai Local Post 1893 Jubilee 2c CTO Sheet

China · 1893 · 2 cents

This listing presents a full sheet of 1893 2-cent Jubilee stamps issued by the Shanghai Local Post. The stamps, featuring a commemorative design, are cancelled to order, indicating they were prepared for collectors rather than used for postal service.

The Shanghai Local Post operated independently within the foreign concessions of Shanghai from 1865 to 1897. Its issues, like this Jubilee set, are highly collectible and represent a unique chapter in Chinese philatelic history, reflecting the era of treaty ports.
