53, 57 [1892 2 öre Bicolored Numeral; 1903 8 öre Oscar] (Fine) on 1906 picture post card "SUNDSVALL Lbr" to NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA. Unusual stamp combination, especially on a post card, and even scarcer to North America. The card shows a very unusual Sundsvall Harbor scene photo with the lake boat TURISTEN prominent (along with many others) -- this boat carried mail! |
