1907 Royal Visit to Seyðisfirði (Seyðisfjörður), Iceland. Lithographed (?) from a photograph, with typographed text, picturing King Frederik VIII stepping off his shore boat at Seyðisfirði, with his Royal Yacht in the background. Though the photo was taken at some distance, it is remarkably crisp. Frederik VIII ascended the throne as King of Denmark and Iceland on 29 January 1906, but his reign was short, dying 14 May 1912. [Because of his short reign, any picture post cards picturing Frederik VIII are "unusual", but such Icelandic cards are "very scarce". This was his only visit as King to Iceland.] This card was PUBLISHED IN ICELAND. This card is in pristine condition, apparently having been kept as a souvenir. In 1909 it was then used to send a message (either hand carried or as an enclosure) outside of the mail. Actually-mailed 1907 Royal Visit cards are "extremely scarce". I have had less then ten 1907 Iceland Royal Visit picture post cards in the last 50 years; I believe only two of them had been mailed. I found 2023 auction sales records for two other (each different) 1907 Royal Visit picture post cards (both also not mailed): One sold for ISK 26,000 (4/2024 $185) and the other for ISK 22,000 (4/2024 $155) -- both received many bids, but neither had the appeal of this nautical scene including the Royal Yacht. A wonderful item in perfect condition.

1907 Royal Visit to Akureyrar (Akureyri), Iceland, on 13 August. Lithographed (?) from a photograph, with text by same method, picturing King Frederik VIII visiting Akureyrar, with people from "miles around" observing. Though the photo was taken at some distance, it is remarkably crisp, with many individual faces quite clear. Frederik VIII ascended the throne as King of Denmark and Iceland on 29 January 1906, but his reign was short, dying 14 May 1912. [Because of his short reign, any picture post cards picturing Frederik VIII are "unusual", but such Icelandic cards are "very scarce". This was his only visit to Iceland.] This card was not only PUBLISHED IN ICELAND, it was published IN AKUREYRI! This card is in pristine condition, apparently having been kept as a souvenir. In 1908 it was then used to send a message (either hand carried or as an enclosure) outside of the mail. Actually-mailed 1907 Royal Visit cards are "extremely scarce". I have had less then ten 1907 Iceland Royal Visit picture post cards in the last 50 years; I believe only two of them had been mailed. I found 2023 auction sales records for two other (each different) 1907 Royal Visit picture post cards (both also not mailed): One sold for ISK 26,000 (4/2024 $185) and the other for ISK 22,000 (4/2024 $155) -- both received many bids.

SKILLING 1873 IMPERFORATE PLATE PROOFS Complete Set (Scott #1-5, O1-2). The complete set of seven imperforate plate proofs, both the regular postage stamps and the officials. Thick white paper, without watermark, never gummed. All are in the issued colors except for the 3 skilling which is a blackish gray (a proof in the issued light gray is not known to exist). The quality of this set is extraordinary. Usually these proofs are found in very poor quality, including small margins, creases, and especially thins. This set is perfect, with huge margins, except for: the 3 skilling has smaller margin at top and an irregular printing impression at bottom; the 4 red skilling (postage) looks superb, but has a small thin spot; the green 4 skilling (official) has a natural paper inclusion (small speck of tree fiber). The 3 skilling has faint pre-printing paper fold which is a variety, not a defect. The colors are all wonderfully fresh and strong, including the usually faded 9 skilling light lilac official. These proofs are usually found one at a time -- this is the first time in 50 years that I have been able to offer the complete set, and by far the nicest quality that I have seen in one set. Facit Classic 2014 value SEK 14,000.

Orlof 1 kr Overprint on Scott #173 (Facit #197) [60 aur Gulfoss Waterfall] NH Fine. Very fresh and bright. As of 12/2023, this is only the fourth uncanceled example (only the third NH example) that I have had in 50 years.

Orlof 10 aur Overprint on Scott #221 (Facit #245C2) [10 aur green Fish, comb perf 14x14 thin tooth at top] Mint with VF centering; this example is actually NH, but has an area of gum discoloration (from an old stock page), thus cannot be described as NH. This example looks wonderfully fresh from the front. This is the most commonly found Orlof overprinted stamp, however, well centered examples are scarce. The underlying stamp exists with three perforation types, logically however, the only overprinted version recorded is the last one printed. Theoretically other perforations could exist.

Orlof 20 aur Overprint on Scott #224 (Facit #248C2) [25 aur red Fish, comb perf 14x14 thin tooth at top] Mint without gum, with F-VF centering. I attest that this example is Mint no gum, not Used without cancellation: I soaked it and another stamp apart; both were fully gummed and fully stuck to each other. Very attractive with fresh and bright appearance. The underlying stamp exists with three perforation types, logically however, the only overprinted version recorded is the last one printed. Theoretically other perforations could exist.

Orlof 5 kr Overprint on Scott #98 (Facit #120) [5 kr Frederik VIII] Mint, extremely lightly hinged, with XF centering. Wonderfully fresh and attractive with almost perfect centering, great color, and perfect perforations. This is perhaps the rarest of the Orlof overprints and is "rare" even with faults -- this just might be the nicest example any of us ever see! As of 12/2023, this is only the second example I have had (in any condition) in 50 years and the other example was in really terrible condition (but it still sold for $200). I believe this to be the rarest overprinted Orlof stamp.

Orlof 10 kr Overprint on Scott #O36 (Facit #TJ38) [Official 16 aur Two Kings] NEVER HINGED with VF centering. An outstanding example with strong color, crisp printing impression, great centering, and excellent perforations. As of 12/2023, this is only the third example I have had in 50 years; this example has equal to or better centering than the others. This scarcity of this stamp is greatly under-appreciated.

Greidslumerki Facit #G4 LIGHT BLUE, WHITE PAPER [1935 10 aur Icelandic Printing TYPOGRAPHED (Letterpress), Perforated 11 Greidslumerki (Greiðslumerki) invoice / payment tax] NEVER HINGED with VF CENTERING. PARTIAL OFFSET PRINT ON BACK: This occurs when pressure is (irregularly) applied to a stack of ink-still-wet sheets; the design from the stamps below transfers to the back of the stamps above. Mint-with-gum examples of this stamp are unusual. I can only recall seeing on other example of an offset print on this typographed stamp.

F-VF: Greidslumerki Facit #G2 [1932 75 aur Gulfoss waterfall postage stamp, Scott #175, with Greidslumerki (Greiðslumerki) 10 aur invoice / payment tax overprint] Examples of this stamp are hard to find; NH, Mint Hinged, and even Mint no gum or Used, are not often offered. Seldom offered and unknown to many collectors. [Only two postage stamps were overprinted for this purpose, Scott #174 and #175.]

Greidslumerki Facit #G1 [1932 65 aur Gulfoss waterfall postage stamp, Scott #174, with Greidslumerki (Greiðslumerki) 10 aur invoice / payment tax overprint] Used with VF centering and typical (for this issue) manuscript cancellation, on small piece. Seldom offered and unknown to many collectors. [Only two postage stamps were overprinted for this purpose, #174 and #175.] A handsome example. The cancellation is so small you might not notice it.

Greidslumerki Facit #G2 [1932 75 aur Gulfoss waterfall postage stamp, Scott #175, with Greidslumerki (Greiðslumerki) 10 aur invoice / payment tax overprint] NEVER HINGED BLOCK OF FOUR with Fine centering. This block shows the two basic types of the overprint setting: The left two stamps show the right edge of the right "0" farther to the right than is shown on the right two stamps. Mint singles, with gum, of this stamp are hard to find; Mint or NH multiples of this stamp are scarce -- I have only had three or four Mint or NH multiples in 49 years. Seldom offered and unknown to many collectors. [Only two postage stamps were overprinted for this purpose, #174 and #175.] A excellent example. NH Fine singles sell for $60 each; this is priced below break-up value!

Mint singles, even without gum, of this stamp are hard to find. Seldom offered and unknown to many collectors. [Only two postage stamps were overprinted for this purpose, #174 and #175.] Either of these singles, in this condition, would sell for $35 -- offered for less than the set total.

Greidslumerki Facit #G2 [1932 75 aur Gulfoss waterfall postage stamp, Scott #175, with Greidslumerki (Greiðslumerki) 10 aur invoice / payment tax overprint] Used with VF centering, with neat manuscript cancellation, on small piece of either a bank check or a bill of exchange (vexel). Though that type of document is common bearing documentary revenue stamps, I have only had a couple pieces from one (and no complete documents) with any of the Greidslumerki stamps. Seldom offered and unknown to many collectors. [Only two postage stamps were overprinted for this purpose, #174 and #175.] An excellent example.

Greidslumerki Facit #G2 [1932 75 aur Gulfoss waterfall postage stamp, Scott #175, with Greidslumerki (Greiðslumerki) 10 aur invoice / payment tax overprint] Used with VF centering, with neat manuscript cancellation, and small corner of a postal cancellation, on a small piece of postal money order or cash-on-delivery card AND with part of a Danish-printing (engraved) Greidslumerki stamp on the reverse. The tax payment was required on "both ends" of the transaction, whenever a payment of money occurred, thus two stamps were required. Not only are uses of this overprinted stamp quite scarce on a postal item, but it is extremely scarce showing both stamps (even if one is partial) and even more special in that it shows that both stamps were in use simultaneously, though at different post offices. The stamp on the back was cut in half when the front stamp was clipped out of the card by the post office for kiloware (after the required period that these cards had to be retained). To the best of my recollection, I have had only one other such example in 49 years (and never any complete cards). Seldom offered stamp that is unknown to many collectors. [Only two postage stamps were overprinted for this purpose, #174 and #175.] An outstanding example.

Greidslumerki Facit #G2 [1932 75 aur Gulfoss waterfall postage stamp, Scott #175, with Greidslumerki (Greiðslumerki) 10 aur invoice / payment tax overprint] Used with Fine centering, with postal cancellation on a very small piece of postal money order or cash-on-delivery card To the best of my recollection, I have had only three or four examples of this stamp on postal piece in 49 years (and never any complete cards). Seldom offered stamp that is unknown to many collectors. [Only two postage stamps were overprinted for this purpose, #174 and #175.] Price low due to the centering and size of the piece.

Greidslumerki Facit #G4 LIGHT BLUE, WHITE PAPER [1935 10 aur Icelandic Printing TYPOGRAPHED (Letterpress), Perforated 11 Greidslumerki (Greiðslumerki) invoice / payment tax] NEVER HINGED with VF centering LOWER LEFT CORNER MARGIN 4-BLOCK. This block shows THREE constant plate varieties: Upper left stamp (sheet position 81) has "color spot between legs of sheep"; lower left stamp (position 91) has "color spot in lower right of right mountainside"; and lower right stamp (position 92) has "color spots to left of sheep". These varieties only appear once per sheet, but I do not know if they appear in either of the other two printings or in the same positions. A beautiful position piece offered for little more than the break-up value.

Facit #H11 [1970 Landscapes] Complete vending machine booklet. NH VF. Pristine condition. : An unusual type of booklet, unique in the Scandinavian countries: the card cover, designed for vending machine is folded at left and glued shut at right. The stamps inside are contained in a small crystal-clear envelope that sits inside the cover, not attached. The envelope contains Scott #412 and #414: five 1-kr stamps (folded down to a pair) and three 5-kr stamps (folded down to a pair). [The website image shows the cover, front and back, and the envelope of stamps, front and back (left folded as made by the post office).] A pristine example of a very scarce booklet. Facit 2022 value SEK 1500 (approximately US$150 as of 2/14/2023)!

Facit #H3E Panes respectively 5 aur mounted by bottom margin, 10 aur upright, 20 aur upright. : 1939 complete booklet with Light Gray cover; Cover type E (with inside back cover with words "Silli and Valdi"). 5 aur Brown Fish (Scott #219c [1939]) pane of four (large part of corner missing from one stamp; very likely from original production of the booklet); 10 aur Dynjandi Falls (Scott #193) pane of six, and 20 aur Geyser (Scott #204) pane of six. H3E likely exists with any of the three panes upright or inverted. I have only had this one example of a H3E booklet in 49 years. From the Garson collection. [The most complete and specialized listing of Icelandic booklets was in the Facit 2006 catalog.] The Facit value of this H3E booklet was SEK 24,000 in 2006. The current 2022 Facit (with less specialized listings) still shows a value of SEK 24,000 (approximately $2400 in February 2023)! That being said, it does not seem that the Facit editors have actually reviewed this pricing in many years. While the missing corner of one 5 aur stamp is a defect, other than that problem, the booklet and the stamps are wonderfully fresh. The stamps in the booklet are scarce in NH condition; the individual selling prices of the stamps totals right at $1000! This intact booklet early booklet is extremely scarce and is rarely offered in any condition.

Facit #H5G Panes respectively, Fish 5 aur mounted by top margin, 10 aur green bottom margin, 25 aur red top margin. : 1940 complete booklet with Light Blue cover; Cover type G (front cover with words "um alt land" and NOT "um allt land"). 5 aur Brown Fish (Scott #219c [1939-40]) pane of five; 10 aur Green Fish (Scott #221b) pane of five, and 25 aur RED Fish (Scott #224b) pane of five. H5G exists with any of the three panes mounted by top or bottom margins. I have only had this one or two examples of a H5G booklet in 49 years, but likely that the other I may have had would have had different top/bottom margin mounting combinations. From the Garson collection. [The most complete and specialized listing of Icelandic booklets was in the Facit 2006 catalog.] The Facit value of this booklet was 24,000 in 2006. In 2006, the six listed versions of the H5 booklet ranged in Facit value from SEK 12,000 to 18,000, with only this H5G being at the SEK 18,000 level. The current 2022 Facit catalog (with less specialized listings) does not break out the pricing of the six possible H5 versions; instead it shows only a single value of SEK 18,000 now -- which would be for the most common version which was valued at SEK 12,000 back in 2006. From that we can extrapolate that a properly updated Facit value for H5G would probably be in the range of SEK 22,000 to 24,000 now (approximately $2200 to $2400 February 2023). The Facit editors do not seem to have actually reviewed this pricing in many years. The booklet is in VF condition and the stamps in the booklet have centering that ranges from F-VF to VF -- all the stamps are wonderfully fresh. The stamps in the booklet are scarce in NH condition; the individual selling prices of the stamps totals $1865 for F-VF centering (even though some of them are better than F-VF)! The value of the contents fully supports the current H5 "generic" Facit value, to say nothing of the extrapolated current H5G Facit value. This intact booklet early booklet is extremely scarce and is rarely offered in any condition.

UNLISTED booklet similar to Facit #H4 EXCEPT CONTAINING 5 aur OVERPRINT ON 35 aur Jochumsson. : 1939-1940 complete booklet with Light Blue cover; Cover type G (front cover with words "um alt land" and NOT "um allt land"). 5 aur OVERPRINT on 35 aur Blue Jochumsson (Scott #212) pane of five -- NO ICELANDIC BOOKLET IS LISTED AS INCLUDING THIS STAMP!; 10 aur Ultramarine (NOT Gray Blue) and Carmine Flag (Scott #228) pane of five, and 25 aur RED Fish LINE PERFORATION VARIETY (Scott #224 variety, Facit #248C4) pane of five with plate number "2" in margin (one stamp with small natural paper inclusion). The 5 aur and 10 aur panes are upright (mounted by left margins) and the 25 aur pane is inverted (mounted by bottom margin). Prior to this, I had only previously seen one Icelandic booklet from this era with a plate number showing in the margin as it is on this 25 aur pane. This is the only example of any booklet containing the 5-on-35 aur Jochumsson stamp that is known to me. One of the definitions of what makes a booklet a "different major catalog number" is the stamp or combination of stamps in the booklet. By that definition, this booklet should have its own major catalog number in Facit. I have reported this booklet to the Facit editors. This booklet is from the Garson collection. [The most complete and specialized listing of Icelandic booklets was in the Facit 2006 catalog. This booklet was not listed in that edition, nor in any later edition.] Assuming that this booklet is not unique (but it is certainly very rare) -- though it is possible that it is unique -- I estimate a catalog value should be in the range of SEK 35,000 ($3500) based on the high values of the other 1939-1946 booklets which are known to exist in at least modest quantities. However, if this booklet is unique, the value could easily be much higher. The booklet is in PRISTINE condition and the stamps in the booklet have centering that ranges from VF to XF -- all the stamps are wonderfully fresh. The 25 aur RED stamps variety with the scarce line perforation in the booklet are quite scarce in NH condition, selling for $269 each; the total of all the individual selling prices is over $1345. An important Icelandic booklet rarity!

Facit #H7H/I VARIETY. Panes: Fish 5 aur mounted by top margin, 10 aur gray bottom margin, 25 aur brown-red bottom. : 1945 complete booklet with Dark Greenish Blue BACK COVER and Light Blue FRONT COVER. This booklet has COVER TYPE COMBINATION: Front Cover Type H and Back Cover Type one of I through L (as noted below, there are Facit listings problems in I-K vs L). The front cover has "SOFFIUBUD" 29 mm wide; words "um allt land" and NOT "um alt land". The inside front cover (side 2) has the star between two loops and NOT just a star. Those are all characteristics of Cover Type H. However, the back cover has: above "Simar: 4690-5690" and below "Simar:5690-4690". To add to the fun, the front cover is dark greenish blue (which Facit says is the color for Cover Type "I") and the back cover is light blue (or blue) which Facit says blue is the color for Cover Type "H". [At the same time, to confuse things further, there appears to be either a textual typo or an image error in Facit 2006 for the back cover of Cover Types I-K vs Type L (in regard to the "Simar" features).] I have previously encountered cover variations (combinations of front and back covers), in addition to the interleaf combination variations footnoted by Facit. I do not know if this booklet is a scarcer, unlisted variation, or if this is just showing up an error in Facit. Regardless, the Facit listings need further work. 5 aur Brown Fish (Scott #219 [1941-46]) pane of five; 10 aur GRAY Fish (Scott #222) pane of five, and 25 aur BROWN-RED Fish (Scott #225) pane of five with PLATE NUMBER "2" in margin. Prior to this, I had only previously seen one Icelandic booklet from this era with a plate number showing in the margin as it is on this 25 aur pane. This booklet likely exists with any of the three panes mounted by top or bottom margins. From the Garson collection. [The most complete and specialized listing of Icelandic booklets was in the Facit 2006 catalog.] Facit only lists this combination of stamps as being in Cover Types H and I (and M and N, but this is neither of those). The 2006 Facit values of H7H and H7I are SEK 7500 and 7000 respectively (Approximately $750 and $700 in February 2023) -- and in 2022 Facit generically valued the most common H7 variation at SEK 7500. This example, not quite fitting either of those definitions may be a scarcer, more valuable unlisted variety. The Facit editors do not seem to have actually reviewed this pricing in many years. The booklet is in PRISTINE condition and the stamps in the booklet have centering that ranges from F-VF to VF -- all the stamps are wonderfully fresh. The intact booklet early booklet is scarce as listed by Facit, but this unusual combination of cover types and colors is likely to be much scarcer as the people hand-making the booklet were likely in a short-duration transition between old and new supplies of front and back covers.

Tollur Piece of Document: 142 Fine 3-strip and 186 VF pair with Tollur cancellations; 174 F-VF with postal cancellation (date unclear). On back of piece of import invoice, showing the normal practice that several stamp will have a Tollur cancellation and one stamp always has a dated postal cancellation. Such pieces are extremely scarce as they were usually destroyed to obtain the postal-canceled stamp. Even though the individual Tollur-canceled stamps on this piece total only around $50, on the piece they have much greater value. I have only been able to offer such pieces four or five times in the last 38 years! Website image shows the "raw" item and how it had been (and still is) mounted for exhibition, making it look nicer.

1911 Perforated ("C"ARITAS) without gray overprint on falcon. Full sheet of 20. NH with VF-Superb centering. An extraordinarily rare sheet; I have only recorded two examples of this full sheet in 36 years (I had both, this is one of the two). The break-up value of this sheet is around $1400, however, it should have much greater value due to its rarity.
