25/25c x4 (Fine), 30 (damaged) on ca.1875 4 øre Ultramarine postal stationery envelope. 16 øre Print 2 (damaged) and 4x 3 øre Print 2. The third 3 øre stamp is POSITION 18, INVERTED FRAME. Registered mail to Germany; upon arrival in German postal system, German registration label affixed -- this is the first time I can recall having an example of this happening on Danish-German registered mail. Cover with some wear and appears to have been professionally cleaned, but attractive and with a very scarce stamp (Facit 2007 value SEK 5000 = $700; AFA 2002 Specialized value DKK 3800 = $660 just for this inverted frame single used stamp). Identification confirmed by Lasse Nielsen and with his mark. Extremely scarce usage. ACTUAL item. |

31b [1875 20 øre Bicolor, Print I, Thick Inverted Frame] (Average, tiny tear) solo use on ca.1875-76 to the U.S., addressed to a ship fireman (boiler tender) at the Sailors Home in New York. Nice "KBHVN:NØRREBRO lapidar-style cancellations (Skilling page 147; DKK 100, fairly scarce for a København postmark). Skilling indicates recorded postmark use of 11 February 1876 through 12 November 1879. There is no year-dated postmark, but there is a 1876 docketing., which may or may not be contemporaneous. The postmark is 7 December, thus if this is 1875 (which it could be), it extends the use period. AFA 2010 value for the most common inverted frame printing on cover is DKK 1600 = $290 [1/2010] for the most common use, which would be to Germany. Use to the U.S. is much scarcer. Very interesting cover at a very low price. ACTUAL item. |

26, 31b pair, 33b pair [Perf 14 Bicolors: 4 øre, pair of 20 øre inverted frames (one seriously damaged), and a very nice pair of 50 øre inverted thick frames] on 1880 privately printed parcel card for two packages from København to Vienna, Austria. This card has seen better days, however, when was the last time you saw an early Danish parcel card to Austria in good condition? With a very nice strike of the Slesvig boxed marking "Aus (uber) Danemark / via Hamburg 2 / Porto von Woyens"; postmark undervalued by DAKA at DKK 1200 in 1999. An inexpensive example of a very scarce usage. ACTUAL item. |
