264 Plate Variety, Facit #259Av1 P1 [1938 15 öre Emanuel Swedenborg (theologian and scientist)] NEVER HINGED 3-strip with XF centering and obvious plate variety "line in top margin above 10". The variety is nicely positioned in the center of the 3-strip. Examples of this variety are amazingly hard to find considering the modest (SEK +200) Facit 2021 value, especially in NH and with such nice centering. In my experience, the plate varieties of this stamp are quite undervalued.

264a/264 (Facit #259BC) [1938 15 öre Emanuel Swedenborg (theologian and scientist), pair with straight-edge on left side only] Used VF BC 4-BLOCK with 17 February 1938 cancellations (just a couple weeks after issue). One blunted perf on lower pair; otherwise excellent. Used BC/CB blocks are quite unusual! Priced only as two pairs.

273/273a (Facit #261CB) [1938 5 öre New Sweden (Settler and Indian), pair with straight-edge on right side only] Used VF CB 4-BLOCK with 30 October 1938 cancellations. Excellent quality, strong perforations. Used BC/CB blocks are quite unusual, especially these larger-format stamps. Priced only as two pairs.

273a/273 (Facit #261BC) [1938 5 öre New Sweden (Settler and Indian), pair with straight-edge on left side only] NH VF-centered BC pair with top margin attached (thus had been mounted upright in a booklet). The margin shows an engraved diagonal line at the right side -- which is half an arrow; the arrow marking is listed by Facit, however it is seldom offered. An interesting item for a very popular thematic!

274a/274 (Facit #262BC) [1938 15 öre New Sweden (sailing ship Kalmar Nyckel), pair with straight-edge on left side only] NH BC Pair with XF centering. This is quite hard to find so well centered! A very popular thematic!

278/278a (Facit #266CB) [1938 5 öre Gustaf V 80th Birthday, pair with straight-edge on right side only] NH CB pair with Superb centering. Wonderfully fresh. Quite scarce with perfect centering both around the whole pair and within the individual stamps.

278/278a (Facit #266CB) [1938 5 öre Gustaf V 80th Birthday, pair with straight-edge on right side only] NH CB pair with VF centering. Bottom margin attached (thus had been mounted inverted in a booklet). The right side of the margin shows the a registration bar marking. This type of marking is called "regm" in specialized Facit listings, but this particular marking is not mentioned by Facit -- and I cannot recall previously having an example on this issue. A very attractive example of a scarce pair. Normally $59 without this unusual marginal marking.

278 Booklet COVER ONLY (Facit #266, H36) [1938 5 öre Gustaf V 80th Birthday] Booklet cover, with staple, but NO stamps. Logically creased at the binding line on the front cover. Panel text (in Swedish) about postal services and rates. Such booklet covers are often requested because they allow for display without the high cost of buying a booklet containing stamps. Keep in mind that the complete booklet containing stamps ranges in price from $100 (containing #278) to $400-500 (containing BC/CB pairs)!

298a/298 (Facit #321BC) [1938 15 öre Carl von Linné (botanist, taxonomist, writer), pair with straight-edge on left side only] Mint XF BC PAIR with reasonable hinge mark on the 298 and NH 298a (the scarcer stamp). Huge margins and remarkably nicely centered, with perfect perforations and great color. A scarce pair for which there is a space in virtually all European-made albums and also an important item for many thematic collections.

322a/322 (Facit #332CB) [1941 5 kr blue Stockholm Palace, pair with straight-edge on right side only] CB 4-BLOCK, Used with Superb centering and ESKILTUNA cancellations. Correct greenish-blue color of the early printings. This example came off packages of ball bearings sent by airmail in 1941-1942 from Sweden to the Ford Motor Company in the U.S., for military production -- would have to have been sent on the dangerous secret night flights from Stockholm to Scotland and then onward by clipper flying boats to the U.S. [see the book Blockade Runners]. One of the key BC/CB pair issues -- such nice centering is quite scarce! Attractive and completely sound in all respects. Blocks of this BC/CB issue are scarce because most of the heavy packages they were on (or on parcel cards) received very rough treatment. Priced at only the value of two Superb pairs.

Correct greenish-blue color of the early printings. This example came off packages of ball bearings sent by airmail in 1941-1942 from Sweden to the Ford Motor Company in the U.S., for military production -- would have to have been sent on the dangerous secret night flights from Stockholm to Scotland and then onward by clipper flying boats to the U.S. [see the book Blockade Runners]. One of the key BC/CB pair issues -- such nice centering is quite scarce! Otherwise would be $245 for this centering.

Correct greenish-blue color of the early printings. This example came off packages of ball bearings sent by airmail in 1941-1942 from Sweden to the Ford Motor Company in the U.S., for military production -- would have to have been sent on the dangerous secret night flights from Stockholm to Scotland and then onward by clipper flying boats to the U.S. [see the book Blockade Runners]. One of the key BC/CB pair issues -- such nice centering is quite scarce! Attractive and completely sound in all respects. Such large blocks of this BC/CB issue are extremely scarce because most of the heavy packages they were on (or on parcel cards) received very rough treatment. While it may not be obvious, stamps like these helped win WWII.

1941 Sancta Birgitta / St. Bridget Test Stamp: Defaced "mother die" showing complete design as issued except the denomination area is a white square and a large X has been engraved over the center of the stamp. I have only recorded in the brown issued stamp color and only on booklet stamps. Believed to have been used as a test stamp to perfect the production techniques for this new stamp size/format. Extremely scarce and seldom offered. NH Superb bottom margin single. Perfect!
