3 [2 sk square, blue] Used VF with even margins all around. Clear print with remarkably neat and small corner cancellation. Corner cancels are exception on the early "square" stamps as postal clerks were explicitly instructed to cancel in the middle of the stamp.

3 x2 [2 sk square, blue] Used F-VF on large piece. Medium blue with two strikes of #2 (HAMBURG) numeral cancellation. This stamp was issued for use on local letters which meant that 95+% of the use occurred in København. Postmarks from other towns are scarce and from small towns or villages are rare. This is the only Danish Royal Post Office in Hamburg usage that I can recall having in the last 30 years.
