Offered at less than the break-up value for the four single XF (two NH) stamps!

Q3 [1919 10 øre red Christian X "POSTFÆRGE" postal ferry overprint] Mint, extremely lightly hinged, with XF centering. SHIFTED OVERPRINT variety: Shifted to the left so that the "P" is fully in the left margin of the stamp. While one might think that such shifted overprint varieties are common, they are actually very seldom seen -- the printer was quite accurate! They may not add a lot of value to such a stamp, but they sure make it more interesting. This example of the basic stamp is outstanding, with brilliant color, great centering, perfect perforations, and with a hinge mark so light that the previous owner was sure it was never hinged!

Q4 [1919 15 øre lilac Christian X] Used 4-Block with VF centering and light, violet, straight-line proper cancellation. Outstanding example of a scarce multiple with the bonus of an early type of cancellation. Listed by the 2017 (most recent at this writing) AFA Block Catalog at DKK 1500 (about $240 5/2022) for the most common color/printing.

Q4 [1919 15 øre lilac Christian X] Used with F-VF centering and excellent strike (for this) of the early "AGGERSUND FÆRGERI" (Aggersund Ferry) Crown and Posthorn violet cancellation with serifed letters and narrow spacing between the rings. It is often forgotten that these stamps were used only on a few ferry lines. In this case, the use on the ferry from Aggersund to Løgstør -- in the north of Denmark (200 km from most of the later use on the west coast between Esbjerg and Fanø) was the only use of a Crown and Posthorn style cancellation on the Postfærge stamps. While this cancellation was normally used in the early period, examples this complete and clearly struck are seldom offered.

Q4 [1919 15 øre lilac Christian X] Used 4-Block with Fine centering and neat strikes of the violet, straight-line proper cancellation. There were three types of straight-line "Fanø-Esbjerg Færgeri" cancellations with SERIFED LETTERS; this is the type with the smallest letters and shortest total length, about 38 mm. This example shows the cancellation about as clearly and neatly as one can find struck on stamps. A nice example of a scarce multiple with the bonus of an early type of cancellation. Listed by the 2017 (most recent at this writing) AFA Block Catalog at DKK 1500 (about $240 5/2022) for the most common color/printing without regard for the early cancellation.

Q4 Gray Lilac, Facit #PF2b, AFA #PF2a-1 [1919 15 øre Christian X, Gray Lilac, with POSTFÆRGE overprint] Used, with XF centering and neat, correct violet cancellation (crown and posthorn type, but very light). This was actually the first overprinting of the 15 øre, using the first overprint plate; the lilac-violet stamps were overprinted later using overprint plate 3 (with wider spacing between the F and Æ). Thus this is not just a color difference, but it is also an overprint difference. Beautiful example with delicate color.

Q4 GRAY LILAC, Facit #PF2b, AFA #PF2a-1 [1919 15 øre gray lilac Christian X with POSTFÆRGE (postal ferry) overprint] Used with F-VF+ centering, huge margins, and unusually neat and crisp, correct violet cancellation. This was actually the first overprinting of the 15 øre, using the first overprint plate; the "normal" Scott #Q4 lilac-violet stamps were overprinted later using overprint plate 3 (with wider spacing between the F and Æ). Thus this is not just a color difference, but it is also an overprint difference. Great example with delicate color.

Q7 [1920 50 øre wine red and black Christian X, "POSTFÆRGE" postal ferry overprint] NEVER HINGED with F-VF++ centering. A wonderfully fresh example of the Dark Wine Read (instead of the Brownish Wine Red) printing (priced as a basic stamp). Great centering for this issue, perfect perforations, bright color, and fresh original gum. This is one of the key Mint parcel post stamps, and especially in NH condition.

Q7 [1920 50 øre wine red and black Christian X, "POSTFÆRGE" postal ferry overprint] Mint, extremely lightly hinged, with VF centering. An remarkably fresh and attractive example with excellent centering, strong color, perfect perforations, and a hinge mark so light that the previous owner was sure it was NH. The underlying stamp had eight printings, but only two of those printings were overprinted "POSTFÆRGE". However, though not described even in the AFA Specialized Catalog, the two printings with overprints do have different appearance. This one has a Brownish Wine Red frame with slightly off-white paper. The other one has a more Reddish Wine Red frame color and whiter paper. The scarcity of each is similar, but nicely centered examples of this one (Brownish Wine Red frame) seem to be much scarcer. Priced only as the basic stamp -- which itself is missing from most collections.

Q8a [1922 50 øre DARK OLIVE GRAY Christian X with POSTFÆRGE (postal ferry) overprint] Used with Superb centering and neat, violet crown/posthorn cancellation typically found on the early issues of the postfærge overprints. An outstanding example with great color, contrasting colored postmark, perfect centering, huge margins, and great perforations. This stamp is seldom offered in such nice quality. In Used condition, this is tied with Scott #Q7 as the scarcest of the postfærge stamps.

Q9 Type II (wide R in KR) [1924 1 kr Christian X with POSTFÆRGE (postal ferry) overprint] Used VF/F-VF centered top-margin 9-block with clear FANØ-ESBJERG ferry double-oval (narrow spacing) 7 MAR 1930 postmarks. Even though these stamps were used in quantity for heavy shipments, today it is quite hard to find blocks larger than four stamps. Individual stamps sell for $45 (VF) and $31.50 (F-VF). These nine stamps total approximately $340 as singles. An impressive block in great quality offered for less than the break-up value.

Q17 Facit Type III / AFA Type II, Facit #PF20b, AFA #PF21a [1939 10 øre brown engraved Numeral, second type issued] Used XF 4-block with neat, proper cancellation. Multiples are hard to find so well centered. The cancellation appears to be dated 31 DEC 1938 which may make this an extremely important item. I say "appears to be" because while the "31" and the "38" are extremely clear, the other parts are hard to read. However, the catalogs state that this stamp was not issued until March 1939... but that is not actually correct. In his 1962 handbook on the Postfærge stamps, Plovst stated [translated] that [at that time] the earliest recorded cancellation on this stamp [AFA Type II] was 22 March 1939 ... but that ... the stamps were submitted to the printer for overprinting on 9 November 1938 ... leaving open the possibility of a much earlier cancellation date. It is apparently not known when the AFA Type II stamps were actually distributed or first used. Based on the large quantities of 10 øre stamps of this type, the other brown type, and the violet 10 øre stamps issued 27 April 1939, it is completely reasonable that at least some of this type were placed into use well before March 1939. I am not aware of any more current information on the earliest recorded cancellation on this stamp, but the AFA and Facit catalogs still use "March 1939" as the first use. Just to be completely clear, this block is of the AFA Type II stamps; there is no doubt about that. This block could (or not) bear the earliest recorded cancellation date which could make it a very important item indeed, especially if the earliest recorded date has not moved back since 1962.
