Newly acquired items worthy of your attention. These may or may not be described with quite as much detail as usual, however, as always, your satisfaction is guaranteed. All are available for approval viewing. Scott numbers have been used unless otherwise mentioned.
5 [1938 15 øre King] Used VF 4-block with VF 25 July 1958 "QAERSUT pr UMANAK" cancellation. One stamp with light bend only visible from the reverse. This 15 øre stamp had been replaced in 1950, but though it is still occasionally seen used at this late date, it is seldom seen used so late from small villages. Because this post office opened July 1, 1958, though the postmark was in use until 1989, this postmark is extremely scarce on First Issue stamps.

Q6, Facit #P9IB. Mint Superb with enormous, perfectly even margins all around. Bottom margin (straight-edge) example; the first printing had straight edges at the edge of the sheet. Only 450 of each of the "B sides" positions originally existed -- I doubt more than 100 mint examples exist today! This surely must be one of the best looking bottom positions extant!

Q3a imperf right side, Facit #P2IIB [5 øre Perforation 12.25, Printing II, 1910] Mint hinged with Superb centering and full original gum, but with extremely light stain that neither the expertizer or the previous owner had noticed. Accompanied by Kaiser 1983 photo certificate (does not mention the stain). Only a total of 4500 stamps were released with one side imperforate; only 1125 examples existed of any particular side -- many fewer still exist today. Very pretty example with wonderful centering and color, at a very low price.

Q2, Facit #P5IB [Pakke-Porto 2 øre 1915 printing] Mint F-VF right margin straight-edge example. With a net quantity of only 200 sheets (another 200 were officially reperforated), only 600 right-edge stamps such as this originally existed; probably less than 100 mint examples remain today. Wonderfully fresh and bright.
