N1 pair (VF), N4 (Ave), all Type I, on 2 February 1943 cover with "P.VANNU 50 P.VAGN" RAILWAY cancels, to Korso, Finland. The cancels are faint, but 50 is the only possibility that works and the previous owner, Karelia expert Valter V. Johansson, had confirmed that it is 50. Railway uses are very scarce!

N22-7 [Ryti set] (VF) on 11 June 1942 cover from SUVANTO. Though this post office was in operation for a few years, it must have been very small, with a very small volume of mail; I have only had three Suvanto covers in 33 years. Though philatelic, this is still very scarce!

NB1 5-strip (VF) on spectacular 1 March 1943 registered FIRST DAY COVER, from KARHUMÄKI to Pargas, Finland. FDCs of this issue are not scarce, but they usually have only one stamp and are from the two or three most common towns. This is a much scarcer town.
