290, 295, 296 (VF) [5 öre Ling (gymnastics), 30 öre Berzelius (chemist), 50 öre Linne (botanist)] on 23 October 1939 airmail cover from STOCKHOLM to the U.S. A very interesting and scarce censored, airmail cover that is yet to be fully explained. The cover is marked with French airmail service handstamp, but my notes indicate that this service was discontinued 28 August 1939. Yet the cover did travel via France and bears French military censorship tape and handstamp -- extremely scarce on mail from Scandinavia. The Ling stamp is missing some perforations and the cover has usual wear for an airmail envelope, but in general is very nice and attractive. The Linne 50 öre high value is very scarce on cover. An extremely scarce usage that is seldom offered.

310 (VF) [5 öre coil Carl Michael Bellman (song writer)] on 24 February 1941 solo-usage wrapper (with endorsement "Utgivarekorsband") to the U.S. Even in this "modern" period, wrapper usages are very scarce; interesting and exhibitable covers of this popular stamp issue are also quite scarce.

327 x2 (VF), 301 x2 (VF, one damaged) [15 öre coil St. Birgitta and 5 öre coil Gustaf V definitive] on 25 March 1942 surface mail cover from to the U.S. With "KIRUNA * LBR *" (letter box) cancellation -- this post office is north of the Arctic Circle. At Stockholm the letter was stopped because surface mail service had been suspended due to the war. The only postal service available to the U.S. was sent on secret night flights from Sweden via Scotland. A return-to-sender label was applied in such a way that it could be removed; a violet handstamp endorsement has been added to the label "endast lufpost berfordras" (only airmail transportation [available]). I believe that I have previously had (in 30 years) only one such cover that received similar treatment -- the label had been removed by the sender, additional stamps had been added for airmail, and the letter resent. However, this is the only example I can recall ever having or seeing with the label still intact. An important cover for both WWII and airmail postal history collections.

328, 282 (VF) [120 öre St. Birgitta / Bridget, 60 öre 3-Crowns] on 22 October 1942 airmail cover from BREDARYD to the U.S. Marked "via England" and thus would have been carried via the secret night flights from Sweden to Scotland. Bears only American censor tape; it is very odd that it was not (also) censored by the British. The 120 öre Birgitta stamp is extremely scarce on cover [envelope] (no genuine, properly paid, solo usage covers have ever been recorded). A wonderful cover that will grace any collection.

334 (VF) [90 öre coil Redenschold and Mansson (education)] on 4 February 1949 solo-usage, correctly franked airmail cover from STOCKHOLM to the U.S. This stamp is very scarce on cover, particularly as a solo usage.

363-4, 309 (VF) on 26 September 1945 airmail cover to the U.S. with Swedish currency control censorship tape. Very attractive. This censorship tape was used for only a short period and is seldom seen.

377-8 (VF) [10 and 40 öre Tegner (poet)] on 31 March 1947 cover from STOCKHOLM to Canada. Bears green currency control label indicating that the contents were inspected (censored) for banned currency, etc. Interesting Canadian customs "duty free" handstamp and with Canadian receivers on reverse. Nice, interesting covers bearing this issue are scarce and sought after.

381 (VF) [30 öre Nobel] on 1947 solo-usage cover to the U.S. The cover is marked "5 g" to qualify for the special "5 grams" airmail rate (same as surface rate if qualified); there was not supposed to be any airmail marking, but this airmail-printed envelope was allowed despite the regulations. This popular Nobel stamp issue is very much sought after on cover.
