Scott #164 [1932 50p blue green M-30 Lion design] (F-VF) solo use on ca.1939-1944 Christmas picture post card from "Kaltsila" with VF, fully-readable strike of straight-line cancellation. Sent to Vammala (16 miles / 13.6 km distance), without a dated side cancellation. Vammala was likely the supervising post office for tiny Kaltsila and thus this was probably delivered in Vammala before the it could even reach the Vammala post office. (This is a similar situation to same-route RFD delivery in the United States.) In addition to the postal rate, the "artist-signed; monogram" picture post card helps to date the use; the card pictures two tontut (plural) [tonttu (singular); gnome-like Christmas characters]. One appears to be eating bread pudding while the other is cutting out a coupon from a (WARTIME) BREAD RATIONING card. The card has two handwritten words, thus qualifies for the general printed matter rate was in use 1 December 1931 thru 30 November 1944 (the regular post card rate was much higher; there was no special even-lower rate for printed matter post cards). This style of straight-line cancellation were used at tiny, rural "postal stopping place" locations such as country stores, taverns, etc. Though the cancellation type was used at many different tiny locations, most are individually quite scarce!
