Tientsin lies at the head of the Gulf of Pe-Chi-Li in the north west corner of the Yellow Sea and is over 1,000 miles north of Hong Kong. As with other ports, there is controversy over the close date as least one cover and a cancelled stamp exist dated 30 November 1922 and some sources have listed the date as 30 November as opposed to 22 November.
While other Agencies assigned different Index letters to identify the clerk responsible, Tientsin, certainly during the period that the 'China' overprints were in use, assigned the Index letters to identify the day of the week in which they were being used, with Index A being used on Monday and Index F being used on both Saturday and Sunday.
