1899年北京寄上海冬季京杭大運河郵路郵政公事封:郵政公事封未貼票自北京寄上海,依次銷保定1899年12月31日大圓戳、河間府碑型戳、獻縣碑型戳、兗州府碑型戳、蒙陰縣碑型戳、忻州郵政局1900年1月15日英漢橢圓戳、宿遷碑型戳、淮安碑型戳、清江浦手填大圓戳、高郵碑型戳、鎮江1月24日英漢戳等。此封特點為1.一般北京寄上海封,為北京陸路寄至漢口後,再經由長江郵路寄至上海,本封為經由京杭大運河沿線寄送,並銷有京杭大運河沿線經過郵局之郵戳,可以充分佐證京杭大運河郵路之曾经存在。2.此封于冬季寄出,应走冬季郵路,而此封之郵路与冬季邮路不同,可以推敲此件为邮局方面对于京杭大运河邮路之测试邮件。从此封上邮戳之日期可以发现,从北京到上海一共走了20多天将近一个月,大大多于正常之冬季邮路。因此很有可能经过测试后就不再使用此邮路,故存世极罕。为清代邮路邮件之代表性邮品,不可错过。
