Scott #6b Lilac Brown, Facit #5v3C3 [1866 5 penni Roulette III (1871-1873), ORDINARY (wove) PAPER] Used with Fine centering but overall wonderful appearance. Three teeth partially missing or blunted; couple other teeth with base-tears in them that can only be seen under 10x magnification. Almost complete BRAHESTAD arc-style 10 October 1873 cancellation. This stamp (Scott #6, 6a, 6b) was printed on ordinary paper; in collections often the more common #12 on laid paper is found in its place. Double check which you have in this spot in your album. Remarkably nice looking example of a scarce stamp! ACTUAL item. |

Scott #34 Dark Greenish Blue [1885 25p 4-Numeral] (Fine) The final printing of this stamp (Facit #23i, December 1888) on a badly worn 17 June 1889 cover from IDENSALMI with Arc-style postmark, to the U.S., and forwarded. An 1885 cover from the same correspondence had the recipient receiving mail through a charity organization in Cleveland, Ohio. This cover, four years later, shows that the recipient had their own address and had recently moved to a yet new address; perhaps the American Dream at work. Leaving Idensalmi around 17 June, the cover transited St. Petersburg on 11 June (according to the Russian Gregorian calendar), then New York on 6 July and arriving in Cleveland on 7 July. The destination (Cleveland) is extremely unusual for Finnish mail in this era; most such mail was either to New York, Chicago, or the Northern States (such as Minnesota, North Dakota, or northern Michigan). Though the stamp is undamaged, the cover (as was the 1885 cover) is in poor condition, but if it were in nice condition it would have a Facit 2025 value of SEK 1200 for this stamp paying the postage to the U.S. in 1885-1889. ACTUAL item. |

Wonderful appearance, with BLUE, PERFECTLY CENTERED, but faint, WIBORG arc-style cancellation. Wiborg is in the Lost Territories, now located in Russia. Though this stamp is "common" in normal quality (missing teeth), this full-teeth example is remarkably scarce with such nice overall appearance. ACTUAL item. |
