Facit #R32a [1910 1 rubel light brown and orange, with Varnish Pattern, Perforated 13.5 (Scott Russia #87a)] RUSSIA USED IN FINLAND with XF centering, bearing a neat (bilingual Finnish/Russian) cancellation, showing only the Russian text part which translates to RAIVOLA -- a Karelian "Lost Territories" town (now Roshchino) located in Russia. This is absolutely a Finnish cancellation, even though only the bottom Russian-text half is showing. While this is only a somewhat scarce stamp used in Finland, examples with small-town cancellations such as this are "very scarce". ACTUAL item. |

Facit #RM11 [1913 3 kopek Romanov Dynasty (Scott Russia #90)] RUSSIA USED IN FINLAND Used with VF centering. Very small parts of two cancellations (including "...FOR...", likely HELSINGFORS), but enough to know that this stamp was used in Finland. Priced appropriately low. While this stamp is not "rare" used in Finland, it is very unusual; I have only had less than five examples in the last 50 years. ACTUAL item. |

Russia Used in Finland: Facit #R18 on Facit #RP9 Russian postal card [1909 1 kopek orange with Varnish Pattern; 1909 3 kopek postal card] Used VF on 19 August 1912 from "UUSIKIRKKO Wp L" to Chemnitz, Saxony, Germany. The 1 kopek stamp uprates the card from the domestic rate to the foreign rate. This is a KARELIAN LOST TERRITORIES small town now in Russia as Polyany. Wikipedia: The Finnish name means New Church (Lake). Mikael Agricola [Scott #276-7, #668, #1286, and #B13] died there on return from the negotiations for the Treaty of Novgorod. A very attractive commercial use that is much less common than the modest catalog value of the card would suggest. ACTUAL item. |
