This is a soft black chop made with a wooden hand-stamp, a set of five stamps. The four characters read 中華民國 Chinese Republic.

These are the only overprinted stamps have been identified for this town

 
These stamps have been identified by using Volume II of the Stamp Catalogue of China by Shui-Hon Chan and the four booklet guide The Local Overprinted Stamps of Manchuria 1945-7 by Allen D Kerr (published 1978 and now out of print). Both works are essential for anyone delving seriously into this subject.
