The New Tanjong Aru Post Office

Price: $35

A registered cover, franked with a 75c butterfly issue, cancelled with a TANJONG ARU 7 JL 71 cds, backstamped with transit markings and KATONG 9 JUL 71 arrival cds. Most interestingly accompanied by a contemporary black and white photo of the Tanjong Aru Post Office, as well as a newspaper article proclaiming the opening of this branch office on Canton Road on July 6.

An apparent commercial usage from the second day of operation, with unusual collateral material.

Tanjung Aru is a small sub-district of Kota Kinabalu of Sabah, whose main attraction is a 2km long beach and the Royal Sabah Turf Club.

Price: $35
