Denmark #59 [1905 3 øre Wavy Line - Numeral, crown watermark] (VF) on 24 August 1908 picture post card locally used with "KJØBENHAVN / K.*K.*B." postmark. The card is a dramatic printed photo scene of an unnamed Icelandic village on a spit of land extending into a mountain-ringed fjord; the card imprint (maker?) is "K. Rösinkranzson, Önundarfjöður" [Iceland]. The message is datelined 24 July, one month before the postmark; it was likely hand carried back to Denmark where it was mailed.

31b [1875 20 øre Bicolor, Print I, Thick Inverted Frame] (Average, tiny tear) solo use on ca.1875-76 to the U.S., addressed to a ship fireman (boiler tender) at the Sailors Home in New York. Nice "KBHVN:NØRREBRO lapidar-style cancellations (Skilling page 147; DKK 100, fairly scarce for a København postmark). Skilling indicates recorded postmark use of 11 February 1876 through 12 November 1879. There is no year-dated postmark, but there is a 1876 docketing., which may or may not be contemporaneous. The postmark is 7 December, thus if this is 1875 (which it could be), it extends the use period. AFA 2010 value for the most common inverted frame printing on cover is DKK 1600 = $290 [1/2010] for the most common use, which would be to Germany. Use to the U.S. is much scarcer. Very interesting cover at a very low price.

1880s 8 öre postal stationery envelope with "J.M." PERFIN of the J. Moresco company, and with company return address. Used from KJØBENHAVN to Roeskilde, with receiver; all lapidar-style postmarks. In the world of philately, perfined postal stationery is a rare occurrence. While this particular item is not "rare", examples in such nice quality are seldom offered!

26 [4 øre Perf 14 Bicolor] (VF) on 17 August 1886 (dated contents) PRINTED MATTER folded letter from "KIØBENHAVN Ø" to Skjelskor. Very neat and attractive; excellent quality for printed matter. It can be hard to find year-dated uses, especially of printed matter.

"RONNE / 2 POST" (Skilling #5) Bornholm Island receiving postmark on 23 February 1892 4 øre postal stationery envelope that is missing a stamp, from Kjøbenhavn. Interesting early stamp club correspondence from the Kjøbehavns Philatelistclub! Skilling indicates that this postmark is quite scarce; though the front is not nice, the backside can be nicely shown in a Bornholm postmark collection.

45 or 45a [1895 or 1902 10 øre Arms] (VF) on unusual picture post card to Italy. No date, however since the card back is not divided, the card likely dates from before 1907 and probably before 1901. Worn corners on the card, but it is a very unusual style and color of card from Denmark. Unusual destination for this time period.

41d [1902 3 øre Bicolor, Perf 13, Large Crown Watermark, INVERTED FRAME] (VF) on 7 January 1905 locally used picture post card. The large-crown watermark is clearly visible, in the lower right quadrant of the stamp when viewed from the front, using oblique lighting. This has been confirmed as Printing 24 and shows the fuzzy bottom frame line expected of a stamp from positions 91-100 (the inverted frames). Extremely scarce on cover.
