296 x2 [1945 40 øre Christian X 75th Birthday] (VF) Two stamps on 22 April 1947 airmail cover from "KØBENHAVN 31" to the U.S. The 80 øre total franking is correct for a 5 gram airmail letter to the U.S. as follows: surface letter to 20 grams 40 øre (1 June 1942 - 31 May 1950) and airmail surcharge 40 øre per 5 grams (1 January 1947 - 26 January 1948). This airmail rate is hard to find, in use for only about 13 months. Also this stamp is harder to find on cover, especially when NOT mixed with other stamp issues. Very fresh and attractive, especially for a light-weight airmail envelope. ACTUAL item. |

285a, 286A, 287A, 300 Plate Block [1945 35 øre ANILINE ROSE, 1946 45 øre olive and 75 øre blue Christian X, 1946 Tycho Brahe, astronomer] (VF) on 16 December 1946 airmail cover from "KØBENHAVN 13 /2" to the U.S. with not-tied 1946 Christmas seals. The distinctive Aniline Rose 35 øre is quite scarce on cover; the 75 ø is unusual on cover. The Tycho Brahe is in a fully-margined lower right plate block #741 -- "extremely scarce" on cover. The 235 øre total franking is correct for a 15 gram airmail letter to the U.S. as follows: surface letter to 20 grams 40 øre (1 June 1942 - 31 May 1950) and airmail surcharge 65 øre per 5 grams (3 October 1946 - 31 December 1946). This airmail rate is quite scarce, in use for only 89 days. Though sent between stamp collectors, this is properly postally used. Very attractive and remarkably fresh. ACTUAL item. |
