Parcel Delivery Stamp: ca.1911 Tönsberg og Omgens Automobil Compani (Tønsberg and District Automobile Company) 10 "öre" black on pink paper, perforated 11.5. Described and pictured in the Brofos catalog of railway and parcel stamps. The original 1964 text stated that his example was straight-edged on two sides (sheet margin). The color illustration added in 2008 shows that stamp, with straight-edge on right and bottom; it is creased and perhaps has faded color. The example I offer is perforated on all four sides (telling us a little more about the sheet format) and with wonderfully vibrant pink color, but no gum. If Brofos, the king of such stamps, had not found a better example between 1964 and 2008, this must be a rare stamp indeed!

Scott #33 [1875 1.50 kr Oscar] Used F-VF with CB&K (Christiania Bank og Kreditkasse) perfin wrong-reading from front. Cancellation date appears to be 1900 (this issue was not replaced until 1907). This is both generally an early perfin for Norway and any perfin on this issue is extremely scarce. This is the only perfin I have had on this issue in 38 years.

1983 Edvard Grieg Europa Test Stamp design printed in 1986 by Norges Bank Seddeltrykkeri (Norwegian Banknote Printing Company) as a test and demonstration of new printing equipment. The design was apparently not first "discovered" by philatelists until 1997. These are true test stamps, intended for internal purposes and were never officially made available to the public. These test stamps are rare and of interest to collectors of test stamps, composers and music, and Europa. The engraved design is taken from the 1983 EUROPA issue and pictures composer Edvard Grieg; with the country name, text, and denomination cut out. Normally with a "PROVE" underprint, but printed in such a way that the foreground and underprint only line up well at the horizontal center of the sheet. Red Engraved Foreground with Blue and Yellow "PROVE" lithographed Underprint. Spectacular 4-BLOCK from the center of the sheet, showing one of the PROVE-ONLY STAMPS (i.e. without foreground). [Another three PROVE stamps were originally to the left and below this one.] Payments can be arranged.
