170 KPV watermark, Facit 2022 #179AeBz = Facit 2020 #179Afbz [1921 20 öre Violet Gustaf V Profile] Used with VF centering. An example of the scarce DULL ULMARISH VIOLET on "B" paper with KPV watermark. The watermark shows "OST"; the position is inverted-reversed (upside down and reading left to right while upside down). There are two possible colors of this stamp -- both of which are very difficult to obtain; the catalog value of the other color is four times the catalog value of this color. The Facit 2022 catalog value of this color is SEK 500, but this example has centering that is much, much better than usual! Excellent appearance, with unusually good perforations, and a complete date. This example is one of three from the same original source, all with the same cancellation, two of which are certainly on the same day. Between the three stamps, the cancellation is confirmed to have the letters FR...IKA (about 7-9 letters total), which can only be FREDRIKA, dated 3 November 1921. This watermark variety is quite "scarce" with such nice centering! [The website image includes a color-comparison sliver of the other color.]

170 KPV watermark, Facit 2022 #179AbBz = Facit 2020 #179Agbz [1921 20 öre Violet Gustaf V Profile] Used PAIR with F-VF centering. The right stamp of the pair is heavily damaged and is NOT COUNTED IN THE VALUE (but it is useful because it shows more of the watermark). This is an example of the extremely scarce ULMARISH VIOLET on "B" paper with KPV watermark. The watermark shows "GL" (end of first word) on right/damaged stamp and "P" (start of the second word) on left/good stamp; the position is inverted-reversed (upside down and reading left to right while upside down). There are two possible colors of this stamp -- both of which are very difficult to obtain; THIS IS THE MUCH SCARCER COLOR, with a catalog value four times that of the other color. The Facit 2022 catalog value of this color is SEK 1500 for a single stamp! Excellent appearance, with unusually good perforations on the left stamp. The text of the cancellation is complete and is confirmed to be BRÄNNLAND, dated 20 December (appears to be 1921). This watermark variety, with this color, is "rare". Again, the damaged stamp on the right is included at no charge. [The website image includes a color-comparison sliver of the other color.]

175 [1925 25 öre Gustaf V Profile] NEVER HINGED F-VF with black coil counting number on reverse. Such counting numbers are rarely offered and they are not listed in any catalog; their scarcity suggests that they were only imprinted every 100 stamps or even less often (I do not recall seeing in the literature any confirmation of the frequency in this time period). Facit 2013 value for the plain NH stamp is SEK 450 = US$70!

179 WHITE PAPER, Facit #186f (old Facit 186c) on A3 White Paper [1925 30 öre brown Gustaf V left profile, White Paper] Mint, lightly hinged, with VF centering and unusually nice perforations and large margins. [The white paper printings of this era in general started around 1934 and continued into 1938, but Facit does not give a date for this stamp on white paper. Starting with the 2022 edition, the Facit Classic has revised the lettering of the colors and papers of the 1920-1936 definitive stamps, with many new listings. This stamp, previously 186c, is now 186f .] Other than the rare watermarked stamps of this series, this 30 öre brown on white paper is one of the scarcest of the colors / papers. It is very difficult to find well centered and with good perforations. (Facit value SEK 1500 for Hinged.)

Scott #189, Facit #175Acx Wavy-Line Watermark [1922 15 öre violet Gustaf V, Left Profile, with Wavy-Line Watermark] NEVER HINGED with VF centering, and with excellent perforations. Wonderfully fresh and bright. An extremely scarce stamp in Never Hinged condition, and especially with such nice centering and perforations. The stamp is pencil signed (as was his custom) by the legendary Swedish expert Sjöman. Most recently this stamp was in the John A. Haggstrom collection; he noted that he purchased this stamp from the legendary and expert firm of Rolf Gummesson. Accompanied by a 1989 certificate by current and still active expert Karl A. Norsten. Also accompanied by a 2024 Jay Smith color image certificate with "lifetime guarantee". There are only a few Mint examples of this stamp extant, and perhaps only a half-dozen (?) that are still Never Hinged. The Facit 2024 value for Mint Hinged is SEK 33,000 and for (this) Never Hinged condition it is SEK 75,000. This is the nicest Mint example, and the only NH example, of this stamp that I have had in 50 years. [Layaway payment terms can be arranged for this item.]
