Revenue stamps of Weihaiwei

The treaty port of Weihaiwei used revenue stamps from 1921 to 1930. The only issue consisted of British King George V keytypes overprinted WEIHAIWEI and a value in cents or dollars. Five values were issued: 1c (on 1d), 2c (on 2d), 10c (on 3d), 50c (on 1s) and $1 (on 1s). The 10c on 3d also exists with additional handstamped surcharges of 1c and 2c. These revenues were withdrawn in 1930 when the city was handed back to China. All of Weihaiwei's revenues are scarce or rare and are highly sought after by collectors.
