J4 [1921 10 øre PORTO Postage Due Overprint on 10 øre Christian X] (F-VF) tied by 19 December 1921 "KJØBENHAVN Ø." cancellation on 17 December underpaid picture (advertising) post card franked with a 10 öre Swedish 10 öre green Lion coil stamp (Scott #118 or 124), with XF centering. There is a Swedish boxed "T" handstamp is under the Danish postage due stamp, and a pencil manuscript Danish "10" due, and the Danish postage due stamp. This is an excellent example of the correct application of postal rates and regulations: This card started out with an impressed (looks typed, but was mass produced, such as by addresssograph plate type of printing) message on the address side, and as such it would still have qualified for the 10 öre printed matter rate to Denmark (and everywhere outside of Sweden). However, to that mass-produced message, the sender added an additional handwritten message, requiring 15 öre postage for the regular post card rate (to Denmark and Norway). This was noticed by the Swedish post office and marked for postage due (of double the 5 öre shortage). There was a return address on the card, and could have been returned to the sender (advertizer) to collect the shortage, but this was probably one card out of a bundle of many other (correctly paid printed matter) cards; the Swedish postal clerk probably thought it would be easier to send it on as postage due and make it the problem of the Danish post office. The 1921 overprinted postage due stamps, which started to be replaced in 1922!!) are hard to find on cover -- especially with unusual due situations such as this (instead of just ordinary underpaid postage). The AFA 2023 catalog values ordinary on-cover use of this stamp as DKK 350 ($53) -- this is more unusual. ACTUAL item. |

J15 [1922 10 øre Green Postage Due] (VF) tied by 26 July 1922 KJØBENHAVN cancellation on 24 July picture post card posted aboard the Swedish naval ship H.M.S. SVERIGE (apparently near Båstad, Sweden, at the time). There appears to have been a stamp affixed and canceled at lower right, but it must have quickly come off; there is a Swedish octagonal-boxed "T." handstamp, a blue manuscript Danish "10", and the Danish postage due stamp. If there had been a stamp that had fallen off, this should not have been rated as postage due. ACTUAL item. |
