Denmark #91 [7 ore green typographed Wavy-Line] on 1928 printed matter rate cover (reduced size but looks completely natural) from Denmark or mailed aboard a Danish ship, to AKUREYRI, Iceland. Machine canceled in REYKJAVIIK and with superb strike of boxed "Skipsbrjef" mark, indicating incoming ship mail. Also with AKUREYRI cancel as the cover was forwarded to SIGLUFJORD. An extremely unusual usage. A bit worn as one might expect. |

93 [1921 8 øre gray Wavy-Line Numeral] (XF centered) on 17 April 1926 Local Rate "Forretningspapirer" [business papers] illustrated advertising commercial cover from AALBORG to the Ullerup area. Neat machine cancellation. Advertising for a company selling to bricklayers. The illustration shows brick homes; the tag line on the back translates to "Use bricks for walls and roof / it provides healthy housing". The "business papers" rate allowed much more weight for less cost. The normal local letter rate at this date was 10 for 50 grams; the local business papers rate was only 8 øre for up to 250 grams! This 8 øre stamp was issued in 1921 with the primary use for local post cards and local printed matter, however it became useful for the local business papers postal rate with the start of that service on 1 April 1922 (and the 8 øre rate continued up through 30 June 1946). This rate was a "sweetheart deal" for businesses. As a Used single, this stamp is a little scarcer than others of the era. While it is not "scarce" on cover, it is unusual on cover, and it is more unusual on business papers covers (which are unusual generally). |

The sender may have been confused about what stamps were required or perhaps simply used whatever stamps were at hand. I have never before in 38 years had such a use. Spectacular! |
