155 with Only One Posthorn Watermark [1929 1 mark Steamship s/s Bore I] NEVER HINGED with F-VF+ centering. Facit notes that due to the larger-sized stamps, the posthorn watermark is not present in the center of the sheet; and that such stamps deserve a 50% premium (but NH examples of the 1 mark and 1-1/2 mark with this variety are much scarcer than that). Very fresh and attractive. A seldom-offered variety. |

156 [1929 1-1/2 mark Turku Cathedral] Used with F-VF+ centering and neat "...llskylahti" straight-line "postal stopping place" cancellation. This type of cancellation was used at small places that did not have an actual full post office, but where a mail carrier or train would pick up and drop off mail. Such letters would later receive the dated postmark of the next town (or railway post office car) it transited that had a full post office. This style of cancellation is rare seen on commemorative stamps, especially this very early commemorative issue, because there was very little distribution of the early commemoratives beyond the full post offices. Quite unusual! |
