O8, Facit #TJ8c [1876 20 aur Official, perforation 14 x 13.5] Third (1891) Printing: Light(er) Yellow Green, Medium-thick Paper. Used with F-VF centering and attractive (KOTST)RÖND Crown and Posthorn cancellation. Though this particular C/P cancel does not have a high catalog value, I have had very few of them over the years. The official stamps are generally quite scarce with C/P cancels. Very pretty! |

36 [1902 5 aur Christian IX] Used with XF centering and attractive, about 50% complete, violet BREIÐDA(ALSVIK) Type 2 (only type for this town) Crown and Posthorn cancellation. Facit C/P cancel #118 (2024 value SEK 400). Though this particular C/P cancel does not have a very high catalog value, this strike is remarkably nice and readable; it is especially nice to show the first letters of the town -- also, it is upright and on a well-centered stamp. An excellent example for this type of postmark! The stamp was issued 9 October 1902 and the use almost all (including this one) C/P cancellations ceased by summer of 1903, thus this cancellation on this stamp was only possible for about 8 months! |
