Lx1, Facit #6a1 [1856 1 skilling Black Local] Used Fine with Superb starburst postmark. Typical centering for the issue, but with nicer than usual perforations (which are normally irregular prior to 1858). Beautifully postmarked example with very nice impression. A hansome example without any defects (due to the very thin paper, most examples are defective). Facit 2014 SEK 7500 = $1200 for typical example. |

LX2, Facit #13a [1862 non-denominated (3 öre) olive brown "Local"] Used Fine+ with neat, light Stockholm local delivery (which was the primary purpose of this stamp) cancellation. This example has slightly less white paper than some, but that is typical variation of the handmade paper still in use at that time. The perforations are just slightly irregular as they should be; the so-called "1855" perforator tool was becoming worn out and was not replaced until 1865. Most examples of this stamp are either defective and/or repaired, but this example is completely sound. Especially nice with such a light cancellation. Facit 2020 value SEK 4000! |
