It should be noted that some stamps from nearby Ho Li were also used at Lien Kiang Kow Post Office. I have seen at least three covers confirming this.

This blue surcharge represents a set of 1. There are two other chops associated with this village.

 
         
     
         
  This is a set of two overprints in black reading 中華民國 Chinese Republic

  These are nice and easy to recognise with the square black font. The top characters read 中華民國 Chinese Republic, below this 郵政 Postal Service, and below that the surcharge separated by (改) meaning change.

All of the stamps known for this town are shown above.

 
         
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.
