Norway: Bargains: Stamps Scott 1-21  
These bargain-priced stamps are attractive, but most have hidden flaws. You can save a tremendous amount of money when you add such stamps to your collection. Each stamp is one of a kind, so please let me know if I may substitute a different example (that looks as good or better, for the same cost) if the stamp you order has sold. If you have any doubts, all are available for approval viewing. If you are seeking stamps of this quality and price level from any of the Scandinavian countries, just send along your want list -- I will be happy to send bargains on approval. Scott numbers have been used unless otherwise stated.

1 with four large margins. "Looks Mint", but with expertly removed cancellation and regummed. A convincing space filler for a mint example (which would be around $10,000 mint with genuine gum).

6 Used F-VF with nearly full town cancellation. Has appearance of a thin spot, but I cannot find any evidence of disturbed paper fibers; thus is either the result of oily cancellation ink, and/or "gum soaking" making the paper translucent in that spot, and/or a paper abnormality. Attractive and nice looking. F-VF is normally $160!
