Finland #331 [Founding of Lahti] (F-VF) on 1955 solo usage cover to the U.S., with PÅLSBOLE (Åland) Russian-text-removed style cancellation. Mattsén and Hvirvikoski show this cancellation used only until 1936 and nothing again until 1962, which is obviously not correct. However, this is very late use for any Finnish or Åland Russian-text-removed postmark. Scarce solo Åland usage of commemorative stamp. |

Sweden 15 öre double postal card, Facit #29a, with 6 öre additional franking (to make 20 öre rate) used both ways! Airmail 4 June 1956 from TRELLEBORG, Sweden, to the post office at MARIEHAMN, asking about postal rates. Replied 5 June 1956 airmail back to Sweden, properly utilizing the Swedish postage paid by the double/reply postal card. The reply bears an unusual handstamp of the Mariehamn post office. Though mailed by a known stamp collector, this is a very rare type of usage from Åland. |
