Denmark: Cancellations: By Type - Crown and Posthorn: M-Z  
Scott numbers have been used unless otherwise indicated. Cancellations starting with the letter "Å", "Æ" and "Ø" are at the end of the alphabet. These listings are just a random tiny fraction of the thousands of Danish cancellations that I have in stock. If you are seeking specific numbers, towns, or types of cancellations, or cancels on specific stamps, please send your want list. All these items and much more are available for viewing on approval; please request approvals.
Crown and Posthorn (or Crowned Posthorn; Danish term PHS) cancels were mostly used at small railway stations that did not have postal facilities, just a mailbox. The supervising railway employee was to remove the mail from the box in time for dispatch on each mail-carrying train. Almost by definition they were used at places with small populations and thus many are scarce. They have been popularly collected and cataloged for many years. The current primary reference is a 2006 catalog by Kern "Posthornstemplerne og øvrige kassetømningstempler..." from Danish railway, rutebil (bus), and ship route; available from me. The cancel numbers shown are from that catalog. I have a stock of these cancellations and am happy to send approvals. This listing is just a random tiny fraction of what I have stock. If you are seeking specific cancellation types and/or on specific stamps, please send your want list.
