1937 (?) "NE-MO-PA-FI" Souvenir Card of the "Arbejdernes Frimærke-Klubs" (Workers Stamp Clubs) on the occasion of "11-Aarige Fødelsdag" (their 11th birthday). 1 øre Wavy-Lines Numeral (Scott #220 Type 1), with selvage imprint "A.F.K. / 1937 / +10 / AAR", mounted on light blue 95 x 120 mm card stock. This is the only example of this unusual stamp club souvenir card that I have recorded having in 48 years. Likewise, it is the only example of the marginal-imprinted stamp that I can recall seeing. It is unclear to me if this item is from 1937 or 11 years later, in 1948. I do not have any supporting documentation or references; my Internet searches have not found any images of this item or the "NE-MO-PA-FI" event. I welcome further information, reports of examples, reports of other versions, etc., and to buy any such items. |

1968 "DANIA 68" stamp show souvenir card reproducing four essays (unapproved stamp designs) for modern Danish stamp issues, against a background image of the early København central city (celebrating 800th anniversary of the city founding). The show was "under the protection of" Prince Henrik; the card bears his silhouette image and a blue facsimile of his signature at upper left. According to text printed on the back of card, the essays were designed by the Danish stamp designer, then at the United Nations, Olav S. Mathiesen; his signature usually appears at the bottom. Though I have never seen them listed or cataloged anywhere, there are multiple versions of the card: 1) The Mathiesen signature may be a printed facsimile in blue (thin lines); or may be hand-signed (thicker lines), in at least two styles; or perhaps (?) signature not present at all, though the text on the back of the card states that all cards are "signed by hand by the artist himself" (certainly not always true). 2) The card exists without serial number; or with serial number in blue (I have seen a picture, but have not had in 46 years); or with serial number in green (seems to be scarce); or with serial number in black; or with serial number in red (probably very scarce; I have only seen one in 46 years). All numbered examples I have seen have the number in the lower left corner. The only unnumbered examples that I have recorded all also have the Mathiesen printed facsimile signature. In my experience, all versions are surprisingly hard to find. This card version is with Mathiesen printed facsimile signature and with a RED serial number. |

1975 "Martinus William Ferslew 1801-1852" official Hafnia 76 souvenir card, bearing Scott #565 souvenir sheet which pictures Ferslew essays (unaccepted designs) for the first Danish stamps. 27 February 1975 first day cancellation (the design in the center of the cancel is also an early Ferslew essay sketch). Reproduction signatures of Ricardo Sundgaard (director of the Danish post office) and Czeslaw Slania, the engraver of this souvenir sheet. Numbered in black on reverse. This souvenir card is harder to find that you might expect. |

1976 "HAFNIA 76" Czeslaw SLANIA "signing card" souvenir card. The outside of the folded card bears only, on the front, the "HAFNIA 76 / DANMARK" stamp show logo. The left inside panel has a picture of Slania engraving the 1976 Postal Horses souvenir sheet of the design related to this item; SLANIA HAS HAND-SIGNED BELOW THE PICTURE. The right inside panel has placement marks indicating that the aforementioned souvenir sheet was expected to be affixed. Instead, the single regular sheet stamp of same issue [Scott #590] has been affixed and canceled with the daily show cancellation for 27 August 1976, picturing a butterfly (relating to topical stamp collecting). This is the only example of this item (in any form) that I have seen in 50 years. While it was surely obtained by many collectors who observed Slania doing demonstrations at the stamp show, if I have not previously seen another example -- and I have purchased extensive collections of Hafnia 76 souvenirs -- it must be "fairly scarce". |
