297, 297a, 297a/297 BC PAIR [1939 10 öre Berzelius, chemist] on 25 December (Christmas Day) 1939 cover from ÖRTOFTA to London, England, via airmail. Correct 40 öre franking. Though this cover does not show signs of censorship, England was already at war with Germany and thus anticipating censorship, the sender noted "In English" on the reverse. The single #297a sells for around $20 OFF cover and the BC pair around $300 OFF cover. On cover the BC pair is extremely scarce. The fact that the entire franking is paid with the same stamp design makes it all the more important as a CHEMISTRY THEMATIC cover. This must be the nicest Berzelius cover I have had in 36 years! |

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. |
