1558 S/S "Posten / Bring" Standard officially issued Personalized Souvenir Sheet of two stamps.

VF: Norway has the distinction of creating what I believe to be the first souvenir sheet of "Standard Personalized Stamps" containing more than one stamp design. This was issued in late 2008 and contains two stamps (same frame design) with two different logos for Posten and Bring. The designs mark the division of Norway Post into two parts: Posten - what we think of as the standard "post office" and Bring - a package delivery, freight, and logistics company (similar to UPS in the U.S.). Only 275,000 of this souvenir sheet were printed and distributed free of charge to people in Oslo and other cities around Norway, sometimes in post offices, but also given away to people on the street. Because the souvenir sheet was NOT sold to collectors and distribution was wide, but one to a person, these souvenir sheets are extremely difficult to obtain. The Scott Catalog editors HAVE reserved a catalog number for this souvenir sheet; such a catalog listing will result in large demand that cannot possibly be filled. [233002]

19a, Facit #19aa, NK #19Ia Dark Violet on Thin Grayish/Bluish Paper. [1872 4 skilling Posthorn] Used F-VF+ with 1873 (proper period) cancellation. Remarkably intense color. Facit 2013 value SEK 1500 = US$225 [10/2012] for normal quality. This example has much nicer, centering, color, and appearance than is usually seen for this color.

45, Facit/NK #55 [1886 25 øre 20 mm Posthorn] Used VF with unlisted plate variety: "white line parallel to right side of N of NORGE". This interesting variety really should be listed by NK. Neat November 1890 cancellation well away from the variety area. Very pretty.

---

236452

(24c) Facit/NK #24Iav [1877 5 øre Shaded Posthorn, Without Period, Vertical Watermark, Ultramarine, Thin Paper] Used F-VF with fairly light cancellation. This is the NOT-reengraved stamp WITHOUT the period after the M, with vertical watermark. While this printing is a little scarcer than the most common 5 øre printing, the WITHOUT PERIOD is grossly under valued in all the catalogs (it is only approximately one-ninth of the stamps issued, but is usually only cataloged with a 50% premium). This is on virtually every Norwegian want list that comes along.

(24a/c) Facit/NK #24IIbv [1877 5 øre Shaded Posthorn, Without Period, Horizontal Watermark, Dull Blue] Used Just Fine with light cancellation. This is the NOT-reengraved stamp WITHOUT the period after the M, with horizontal watermark. While this printing is a MUCH SCARCER than the most common 5 øre printing, the WITHOUT PERIOD is grossly under valued in all the catalogs on any printing (it is only approximately one-ninth of the stamps issued, but is usually only cataloged with a 50% premium). This is on virtually every Norwegian want list that comes along.

30 Pale Brownish Carmine [1877 50 øre Shaded Posthorn] Used F-VF centering with KRAGERØ 1878 cancellation, but with a thin. This extremely scarce color is not listed in the catalogs and is rarely offered. Despite the thin, a very desirable stamp.

Slight translucence in the top margin and just into the two upper left stamps; I am not sure if this is a "natural" paper condition or something else, but it probably would not be noticed if I had not mentioned it. Attractive and very unusual. [The upper left 6-block alone can be purchased for $390.]

51 VERTICAL WATERMARK, Facit #77IIvm, NK #77IIY [1898 (1903) 10 øre Posthorn, Type II, Knudsen printing, Perf 14.5 x 13.5] "May 1905" upper right corner margin 4-block. NEVER HINGED stamps with Superb centering. The 5 of the 1905 is missing, but there is no doubt that is what it should be. This date ONLY exists with the vertical watermark, thus there is no "common" version of this date. The vertical watermark commands about a 50% premium for NH singles; NH examples with superb centering are extremely scarce. Because of the missing 5, this block is priced at only the break-up value of the four single stamps. Extremely scarce, wonderful quality stamps.

Norway Norwex 1955 Stamp Show Stamps Specialized Collection: A very unusual specialized collection, from the Norman Gary collection, of the overprint varieties on this set of three "key value" stamps. Both Facit and NK list four major overprint varieties (they occur on all three stamp values), but there are some additional unlisted varieties as well. This collection consists of singles, blocks, and covers bearing these varieties. In the case of blocks, the varieties are in matched sheet positions in the blocks. The approximate count of stamps is: 22 NH sets, 10 Hinged sets, 1 Used set; Additional singles: 4 NH and 9 Hinged. There are a total of six covers, some FDC and some not. Of those covers, one bears two blocks of four and is POSTALLY USED to the U.S. (extremely scarce!!!). Another of the covers is signed by the stamp designer. Two of the covers bear matched sets of varieties all on one cover (I have never seen such before)! Four of the covers bear NON-show cancellations (Facit notes a 50% premium for non-show cancels) and two of those are from smaller cities (extremely scarce)! Looking at the catalog and retail values of PLAIN stamps, without anything added for the value of the varieties or the uses on cover (just counting as plain show-canceled used stamps), the Facit value is over SEK 16,150 = $2400 and my retail value (again as plain stamps) is over $1500! The varieties and the cover uses should add at least 40% to those figures (thus around $2100+++ retail and $3300 catalog) -- and they would sell extremely quickly if offered individually. The collection is very neatly written up on Scott quadrilled Specialty pages with nicely drawn illustrations of the varieties. (I can add 3-hole punching to the pages upon request.) The collection could be further expanded by seeking out less-obvious overprint varieties -- and also overprints on the known varieties on the underlying stamps. Also, one could add more used stamps and more show covers, FDCs, and postally used covers. This is already a handsome and extremely unusual collection -- I have never before seen such a collection -- with great potential for further development. Shipping cost is additional for this item.

543 INVISIBLE GUM (NK #941II Hs5 Paper) is an extremely scarce stamp, probably destined to become the scarcest, most valuable post-1960 Norwegian stamp. By coincidence, put on sale a few days after King Olav died, net sales were between 100,000 and 120,000, however, most were used for postage. Extremely few collectors knew that it was a new printing on a new paper (and which was also a new engraving type). NH Superb single.
