206, 229 [1939 40 aur Geyser; 1939 2 kr Viking perf 14] (VF) on 5 March 1945 commercial airmail cover to the U.S., with U.S. censorship. Very clean and attractive. Nice blue airmail label and fully intact U.S. censor tape. The 40 aur Geyser is scarce as a simple used single stamp; it is quite hard to find on an attractive non-philatelic cover. The 2 kr Viking, while not scarce as a used stamp, is surprisingly hard to find on nice covers. |

207 (VF) on 25 October 1941 surface mail cover addressed to Dr. Helgi P. Briem in Portugal. This envelope would have contained an "UNDERCOVER" LETTER for forwarding to Denmark. Censored by the British. Dr. Helgi P. Briem, at Rua da Victoria 7 III, Lisbon, Portugal, was the Icelandic Trade Commissioner to Portugal. Dr. Briem accepted "undercover" letters from Iceland for forwarding to Denmark. Postal service directly from Iceland to Denmark was suspended; mail had to pass through a neutral country such as Portugal. Such Icelandic UNDERCOVER MAIL is extremely scarce and largely unknown to most WWII postal history collectors. |
