229380 "View EXACT ACTUAL Image"){kind=small} |
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. |

Iceland #112 [1922 5 aur Olive Green Christian X] and Denmark #94 [1921 10 øre Green Wavy-Line] (F-VF) on ICELANDIC - DANISH - NORWEGIAN TRIPLE COUNTRY cover hand canceled on 17 June 1929 at BERGEN and with black Bergen "Paquebot" handstamp, to København, Denmark. 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! |

Denmark #192 [1927 15 øre Typographed Caravel] (VF, cover creased through stamp) on beautiful 10 June 1929 shipmail cover TO ICELAND, posted at sea. Upon arrival at Reykjavik, it received a black boxed "Skipsbrief" (ship letter) handstamp and was machine canceled. Very attractive Danish hotel illustrated advertising cover. Non-philatelic uses of this handstamp are quite unusual as are Icelandic-canceled foreign stamps. |

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. |
