54 pair and 43/43a on very nice 35 øre correctly franked 1904 registered cover from "KJØBENHAVN *I*" to the U.S., with Chicago arrival handstamps on reverse. A excellent, "pure" UPU Arms issue cover; covers with the 15 øre and only other UPU Arms stamps (i.e. not other issues) are quite scarce.

41c, 55 3-strip, 66 on very nice 35 øre correctly franked 1905 registered cover (with contents) from "KJØBENHAVN *N*" to the U.S., with interesting Chicago arrival handstamps on reverse. Reverse also bears "UNITED STATES / SEA POST" duplex transit postmark; it has been many years since I last saw this transit mark on mail from Denmark; I have only seen three or four examples in the last 33 years. An extremely unusual combination of stamps; the overprinted stamp is not often seen on overseas mail.

121, 116 x2, and 100 x2 [Christian X: 50 øre black and red violet, 40 øre black and violet, and 10 øre red (brilliant shade)] on unusual high-franking 1921 registered cover from AABENRAA to the U.S. Cover is seriously worn, however, the 50 øre is scarce on envelopes (i.e. not parcel card) and high-franking covers to foreign countries are seldom seen. Items such as this must be preserved.

325 x3, 323, 334, 335 [1951 55 øre Brown Frederik IX and other values of set: 25 Light Blue, 30 Brownish Red, 40 Gray] (VF) on a 25 May 1954 registered airmail business-size envelope to the U.S. The envelope is a little aged, but the stamps are all VF. The rate is correct for 20 grams: 60 for surface rate to 20 grams, 40 registry fee, 4 x 40 airmail surcharge. The net of the three rate components make this rate possible only from 1 July 1953 through 31 March 1957. This unassuming cover is an extremely scarce item! The 55 øre Brown is rare on cover: AFA 2007 lists it at DKK 1200 = US$210 for a typical usage. This usage is much more interesting, with three examples of the stamp and the franking is "pure" Frederik IX!
