Japan

1872, 1/2 sen brown, plate II (2), late printing, in two different shades, olive brown and brown, positions 13 and 8, tied by framed non-standard "Yamagata Kensazumi" to the reverse of an unsealed cover to District No. 27.

No dateline, though Meiji 7 (1874) is suggested.

A scarce and appealing local official usage, notable for the uncommon unsealed format and the attractive two-shade franking.

Rate: 1 sen, administration reply unsealed within the same district at half-letter rate, introduced Meiji 6.5.1.
