Stampless cover with 2 May 1865 SKIVE one-ring cancellation, to Norresundby, with "J. TVÆRB.P.SP.B / 1 TOG" railway transit cancellation on reverse. With brief contents. Though does not appear to have the typical markings of official mail, this is likely to be such. Unfranked and on the front (and also on reverse) only a "1" marking in red. Very attractive and fresh. |

11, 13, 14 [1864 2, 4, 8 Skilling Arms] (VF, VF, Fine) on 5 March 1870 folded cover with contents, with #181 (Sjælland railway) 3-ring duplex numeral cancels. To LONDON, with red receiver on reverse. This combination of stamps to make the 14 skilling rate is listed by DAKA 1999 at DKK 2800 (approx $475 then and now). Wonderfully bright colors. Very attractive. |

18 [1870 4 skilling Bicolor] (F-VF+) on 20 September (1871 archival date) folded cover (no contents), with #72 (Thisted) 3-ring numeral cancel, with THISTED serif-style side postmark. To AALBORG with sharp receiver and "J. TVÆRB. P.SP.B." railway transit -- this latter postmark is both remarkably clearly struck (for this) and is in my experience significantly scarcer than most. A very nice railway cover. |

11, 18 [1865 2 sk Crown and Scepter, Perf 13 x 12.5; 1870 4 skilling Bicolor, Perf 14 x 13.5] (VF, F-VF) on 4 February [1871 per the contents] folded cover with at least partial business accounts contents. RAILWAY cancellation 3-ring 216 and dated side postmark "J.JERNB.P.SP." (Jydske Jernbane Post Spedition). To Haderslev (Slesvig / Schleswig), with GERMAN "WAMDRUP / [date] / FLENSBURG" railway transit postmark on reverse (VAMDRUP, in southern Denmark). Also with two German "AUSG." (outbound) transit postmarks. [Though the German railway postmark was applied to mail from within Denmark to Schleswig/Slesvig, I have been unable to find any listings of this postmark -- or of similar types/uses -- in either the Danish or Schleswig postmark literature. That seems like a glaring omission!] According to "DAKA Danmark 1999" the 6 skilling postage rate from the Danish Kingdom to Schleswig was in effect from 16 July 1865 up through the currency change after the end of 1874 -- and in 1999 assigned a value of DKK 1800. The stamps and overall cover are in excellent condition. A very nice and colorful example of mixed issues -- seldom seen. |
