'The U. S. Postal Agency in Shanghai - Registered Mail 1900 - 1922' by Al Kugel.
This exhibit tells chronologically the story of the registration service provided at the U.S. Postal Agency in Shanghai, China from the 1900 registry label up to the closing of the office in December 1922. Examples will be shown of both the black and red labels, as well as the postal markings related to registration and the various types of franking used on registered mail. The latter include not only unoverprinted U.S. stamps but the special issues with new denominations in Chinese currency that were introduced in the final years of service.
This exhibit was created by, and is the property of the late Al Kugel, and is being supplied by his heirs as a courtesy to the Military Postal History Society. (See the MPHS webpage) The Military Postal History Society (MPHS) is a non-profit organization for philatelists and stamp collectors interested in the collecting and studying of the postal aspects of all wars and military actions of all countries, including soldiers' campaign covers, naval mail, occupation and internment covers, patriotics, propaganda, V-mail, censorship and similar related material.
