Collections: Scandinavia: Sweden  
I am constantly buying large and small collections and have built up quite a stock of nice, clean Scandinavian country collections. If you are considering getting into a new area and would like a "starter collection" (whether small or large), let me know about your interest. Also, if you are seeking used binders or used empty albums to match what you currently have, again, let me know. Here are a few samples of collections. The listings below are included by happenstance. If you are seeking a particular country or type of material, please let me know. Payment plans are available. I guarantee your satisfaction.

Due to the low prices and variation in weight, shipping cost is additional for items in the Specials Collections listings unless otherwise mentioned. When ordering please include a note in the shopping cart comments section indicating if you prefer faster/costlier or slower/cheaper delivery so that I may more quickly quote the shipping costs and options for you.

Each item is one of a kind; orders will be filled in order of receipt. Payment by MasterCard or Visa suggested, but I will hold items for 10 days pending receipt of check if you prefer.

Sweden NH Stamps in 1980s Post Office Special Packs: Group of five officially issued special packs. Four packs of the Art in Miniature series (this may be the entire series): Animal and Nature, Jubilees, Art, Historical motifs. Plus gift set #1050. The stamps in the packs are ALL NH VF and the packs themselves are in perfect condition, still sealed (but all the stamps are visible). The stamps are mostly 1980s issues, with scattered 1970s. Face value is over $26+. Individual retail is in the $50-60 range for the stamps, but the packs themselves would have a premium value. Includes many Slania-engraved stamps. Whether you want these for the packs or stamps, the price is great!

Sweden Booklet Collection 1964-79: Scott #645a//1309a, 1964-79 Collection of 68 different Swedish booklets on Lighthouse blank stock pages. Booklets are all intact, OG NH VF. However, many (but not all) have lightly penciled catalog numbers on their covers. All ARE erasable with a soft eraser. (I use a Pentel Clic ZE22.) Jay Smith retail for this group totals $388. Here is your opportunity to acquire them for less than half of their individual retail cost!

Sweden Mint Collection in Lighthouse Hingeless Album: Collection of well over 600 different mint from 1928 to 1975 on Lighthouse hingeless pages. This includes better values of the 1930s, many complete sets with booklet stamps in pairs, and about a dozen complete booklet panes. Older issues are hinged (mostly lightly); later are NH, virtually all VF. The Lighthouse pages cover 1855-1975 and are housed in a like-new green padded Luxus springback binder with matching slipcase. Scott 2012 retail totals over $1000 and the Lighthouse album costs over $600, so this should be an excellent value for anyone who would like to expand the collection in its excellent housing!

Sweden Commemorative Cancellation Cover Collection 1946-1961: Four cover albums containing approximately 320 covers bearing special commemorative (often pictorial) cancellations between 1946 and 1961. Though not complete, this group comprises the majority (I would guess 80-90%) of the commemorative cancellations of the period. These do appear to have been actually mailed with the majority of them to Switzerland, including a couple forwarded showing Swiss markings. The vast majority are cute, very small-size covers, about 4.25 x 2.75 inches. There is a tremendous range of topics represented by the cancellations (and the stamps), including sports, skiing, medical, scouting, philately, railway, music, etc., etc., etc. When seen in dealer boxes at stamp shows these are often priced at $1-5 each, and often with higher prices for some topics. This is a terrific basis for a collection or even for individual resale to thematic collectors. Priced at less than 50 cents each!

Sweden METAL Handstamp Town Postmarks on 1996-97 Covers: Starting early in 1996, Swedish postmarking dramatically changed to virtually all mail being canceled at (then) 19 regional "Postterminal" centers. Only some letters handed to postal clerks were postmarked at local post offices. Suddenly small town and village postmarks became "rare". Additionally, use of small-size envelopes is very limited -- perhaps less than 5% of all mail. Of a large archive of small-size envelopes I purchased, fewer than 5% were handstamped and only half of those were readable (net is less than 1% of all mail). This offer is for 50 DIFFERENT METAL TOWN POSTMARKS on 1996-97 covers with the then-current animal series. ALL covers are small-size and neat, with readable to superb postmarks (picture is just a random sample). (Old #30164)

Worldwide 1957-59 Aerograms TO Sweden: Lot of approximately 75+ aerograms genuinely used in the 1957-59 period to the Swedish Radio broadcasting, virtually all reporting on reception quality and content received. Quality is generally VF, though a few (only a few) have filing punch holes. Most have printed indicia, though a few are aerogram "formular" with stamps affixed. The most interesting I have noted is a 1957 British aerogram FROM BRITISH FORCES IN GERMANY, postmarked "British Post Office 717", with filing holes away from the indicia. Furthermore, the Göteborg address was not complete, thus a street address was added and a seldom seen type of postmark was applied by the Adressunderökning office [most such types of postmarks are actually rare]. The origin countries include: Great Britain, New Zealand, South Africa, Nigeria, Netherlands, India, Pakistan, Denmark, Japan, Ireland (with stamp, but punched), U.S. (7 or more, Scott Catalog value $5-8 range each), Gold Coast (1957 Independence overprint), British Guiana (waterfall motif on back panel; likely scarce), and Australia. There is certainly some duplication, but some of the contents are quite interesting and I suspect that some of these would sell individually for $10 and up. Offered only as a lot -- even if you have interest in only certain items, you would probably do well to buy the lot and resell or trade the remainder.
