RE35 F-VF 3-strip on extremely unusual 8 February 1935 cover. Posted from the Danish naval training ship DANMARK (a handsome 3-mast tall ship with a complement of 125) during a visit to Norfolk, VA, USA. Jointly franked with a U.S. 3 Cent stamp (William Penn), both are canceled with a "NORFOLK, VA / HAMPTON ROADS BR" duplex postmark. Cacheted to commemorate the visit. Accompanied by an original clipping of a newspaper clipping (Norfolk Ledger) picturing the ship and discussing the visit. Quite remarkable; the only such type of advertising pair usage I have encountered. This particular pair is also scarce on cover.
