72 [1907 5 øre Frederik VIII] (F-VF) on 21 June 1910 REAL PHOTO picture post card showing the bustle of activity (including street cars) in front of the København city hall. Mailed to an Aarhus address, but with a black straight-line "Fra Aarhus" postmark applied on incoming ship mail at København (Skilling #1). Presumably posted on board ship en route from Aarhus to København and then routed back to Aarhus. The cancel, this nice, on a plain cover would easily fetch $40; this card is a very nice one and has significant value of its own. |

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. |
