39 ANILINE ROSE, Facit #54b, AFA #35a Print 3 [1885 (September 1886 printing) 10 øre Arms, Perf 14 x 13.5, Large Numerals] (F-VF) PAIR on ca.1887 PARCEL LETTER from STORE HEDINGE, with nice strikes of "3 POST" cancellations, to Slagelse. Small, early style parcel number label (a larger version of the label was affixed to the parcel with which this letter traveled). The parcel weight was 1-1/2 pund. The rate was 12 øre per parcel, plus 4 øre per pund or part thereof, thus the correctly paid 20 øre. The postmarks of this time period did not usually contain a year date, nor do many letters in this era bear a receiving backstamp (even if they do, there is usually still no year date). However, this printing was quickly used up -- a new printing/color was made one year later in September 1887 -- and thus the "29/6" date of the cancellation is very likely to be 29 June 1887. This Aniline Rose stamp only comes from Print 3; it is scarce on cover -- AFA lists on-cover uses of this color starting at DKK 1000 (about $150 10/2023). Generically speaking, sometimes use on parcel letters are valued lower than uses for regular letters, however, parcel letters bearing any color of this 10 øre Arms stamp are quite unusual, and bearing this color they are very scarce. |
