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) |
