165 OR 190 and 174 x2, PLUS 169 OR 195 and another 174 [5 øre Posthorn; 15 and 40 øre Lion] (VF, watermark status not known for 5 and 15 øre) on 3 December 1940 airmail cover from FLATRÅKER with bridge cancellations, to the U.S. At BERGEN the item was rated as being underpaid and needing an additional 55 øre postage; this would have been held at Bergen, the difference requested from the sender, and then postage affixed and canceled at Bergen on 4 December. VERY UNUSUAL EXAMPLE. The 40 øre stamps must be watermarked because of the use date; the 15 øre unwatermarked stamp was issued two days before this one was canceled, this is probably watermarked but perhaps not. The reverse bears VERY UNUSUAL (at least on Norway-U.S. mail) narrow Nazi censor tape and has been handstamped with "Ae" in circle ("e" code = Frankfurt). The handstamp in circle normally indicates that the item has intentionally not been censored, however in this case it was incorrectly used as a sealing handstamp -- VERY UNUSUAL use. No British censoring (unusual at this point in time) and the U.S. had not started censoring yet. 85 øre rate: 30 surface and 55 air surcharge per 5 grams. Slightly reduced at right. Unusual small village postmark. Very nice cover with several very unusual features. |

170 x2 [1937 20 øre Lion, Watermarked] (VF) on 8 September 1940 surface mail cover from LARVIK with bridge cancellations, to the U.S. The reverse bears Nazi censor tape and handstamp of a type used in Berlin. (Airmail to North America was usually censored in Frankfurt, but surface mail from Scandinavia was normally censored in Berlin.) No British censoring (unusual at this point in time) and the U.S. had not started censoring yet. 40 øre postage appears to be overpaid by 10 øre. The interior lining of the envelope had been ripped out prior to mailing per censorship regulations. |

9 December 1940 package label/front for printed matter parcel from TRONDHEIM to Denmark with both Oslo "Ao" and Danish (German) censor handstamps. 98 øre franking (rough condition as to be expected on a package). At 7 øre per 50 grams, this is a 700 gram / 14th weight class franking -- such printed matter items are really quite scarce. |

195, 310 (VF) on 25 June 1951 picture post card (Vigeland) from OSLO, to the U.S. with airmail label affixed. However, the 35 øre postage did not pay the airmail rate, thus Norwegian postage due handstamp applied: single-ring, violet "T / 5 / cts.". There is also a violet single-line marking between two lines "Not paid for air mail"; I think this is a Norwegian marking, but am unsure -- note that it is in English. I cannot recall previously seeing that marking. No indication that postage due was collected upon delivery. |
