1939 Large-Numeral Postal Savings Stamp: 25 øre Dark Blue. NH with XF-Superb centering. Such nice centering of this issue is rare, especially NH -- this is certainly one of the nicest looking examples I have had in 42 years. |

1939 Large-Numeral Postal Savings Stamp: 25 øre Dark Blue NEVER HINGED lower left corner margin 4-block. NH examples are extremely scarce and are seldom offered; blocks are much scarcer. Centering F-VF/Fine with typical variance. The narrow bottom margin is exactly the same as all other bottom margin examples I have ever seen. Interesting variety (does not add to price) showing a diagonal blue plate scratch that on the upper right stamp extends from betweet "it" of "sitdlimat" down through the "Ø" of "ØRE" and then into the lower stamp between the "dl" and down through the "R" of "ØRE". Such fresh quality is rare. |

1939 Large-Numeral Postal Savings Stamp: 25 øre Dark Blue with violet double-oval-crown "UDSTEDET RODEBAY" village cancellation. This is a very scarce cancellation in any type of use. This and one other that I obtained at the same time are the first uses of this Dark Blue color stamp with a village cancellation -- i.e. other than an Avane number cancellation! Used examples of these stamps came onto the market only around or after 2000. Prior to my examination of this style of savings stamp, it had not been recorded that at least two colors of the 25 øre exist (also Clear Dark Ultramarine). Used with XF centering and with excellent perforations for this issue, and NO defects. Used examples of these savings stamps are quite scarce, even with a "normal" cancellation. |

1939 Large-Numeral Postal Savings Stamp: 25 øre Clear Dark Ultramarine with 2-line "Handelstedet Kutdligssat" village cancellation. Used examples only recently discovered; prior to my examination of them, it was not known that at least two colors of the 25 øre exist (also Dark Blue). Used VF with excellent perforations for this issue. These stamps are quite scarce. |

1939 Large-Numeral Postal Savings Stamps on savings book page: 25 øre Clear Dark Ultramarine with 2-line "Handelstedet Kutdligssat" village cancellations. The page has been cut from a savings book. The stamps are not tied by the page by cancellations; the previous owner stated that the stamps in a book had come off a page due to moisture and were consolidated onto this one previously unused page. (However, in actual practice, due to the large size of the stamps, there were often not tied to the page anyway.) A book cover (dated 1944) is also included; this is the first and only example of a post-1938 savings book cover that I have seen in 32 years. Used examples of these stamps were only recently discovered; prior to my examination of them, it was not known that at least two colors of the 25 øre exist (also Dark Blue). The stamps appear to all be VF centered with typical, or better, perforations. The "break up value" of this page is at least $430, not counting the book cover. |

1939 Large-Numeral Postal Savings Stamp: 25 øre Clear Dark Ultramarine with black 1-line "Udstedet Akugd(lit)" village cancellation. This is a VERY SCARCE CANCELLATION that as of the Wowern 1988 GF1 Pakke-Porto catalog, NO postal uses (for parcel post instead of for savings) had been recorded to exist AND WOWERN DID NOT HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF THE CANCELLATION (even on a savings stamp) TO ILLUSTRATE IN THAT CATALOG! I am not aware of any postal-use discoveries since that time. The part of the cancellation that is on the stamp is quite clear and is the only possible village name per the Wowern listing. Used examples of these stamps came onto the market only around or after 2000. Prior to my examination of this style of savings stamp, it had not been recorded that at least two colors of the 25 øre exist (also Dark Blue). Used with XF centering and with excellent perforations for this issue, but with a crease that is only visible from the reverse. Used examples of these savings stamps are quite scarce, even with a "normal" cancellation. |

1939 Large-Numeral Postal Savings Stamp: 1 Krone Orange 4-BLOCK with VF Crown and "Kolonien / Umanak" village postal cancellations. Used examples of the 1 Krone value are extremely scarce and blocks are rare; this is the first used block I have had in 37 years and only the second I can recall seeing. Used with VF/F-VF centering with extremely good perforations. Beautiful and rare, but priced as singles! |
