22 pair plus damaged single [1872 12 öre Ringtype Perf 14] on 1876 Royal Notice by official mail from SÄMB to Länghem Church. An interesting usage, using normal postage stamps instead of Official stamps. The address is placed diagonally which is typical of early Official mail (and which may have been done to help indicate it as Official mail and to remind the mail carrier of the urgency). The 36 öre rate was for weight over 25 ort and up to 50 ort (1 ort = 4.25 grams). This was the outer cover of what thus was a document weighing between 106.25 and 212.50 grams! The contents on the backside of this cover relates to pricing of pharmaceuticals. 36 öre postage usages are scarce (Facit 2009 Postal value SEK 1200 ) and usages with regular stamps for Official mail are extremely scarce! Furthermore, 36 öre usages of Official stamps have yet to be recorded if Facit Postal 2009 is accurate! Very scarce and very pretty!

O20 (VF) [20 öre Blue perf 13 Official] on 1906 cover to the U.S. A remarkable INCORRECT AND/OR ILLEGAL USAGE of a Swedish Official stamp. These stamps were not valid on mail outside of Sweden (except sometimes to Denmark or Norway). The address and handwriting shows every indication of being "emmigrant mail". Also there is no return address and the Halmstad Lbr cancellation indicates that the letter was deposited in an letter box, typical for emmigrant mail. There are stick-pin holes in the cover and a manuscript number in the lower left corner, perhaps suggesting that it was attached to paperwork as part of an investigation of the mailing. Much emmigrant mail of the era was sent unpaid (without return address) because the American cousins could supposedly better afford to pay the postage. Quite remarkable and the only such example I have seen in 29 years.
