Finland #331 [Founding of Lahti] (F-VF) on 1955 solo usage cover to the U.S., with PÅLSBOLE (Åland) Russian-text-removed style cancellation. Mattsén and Hvirvikoski show this cancellation used only until 1936 and nothing again until 1962, which is obviously not correct. However, this is very late use for any Finnish or Åland Russian-text-removed postmark. Scarce solo Åland usage of commemorative stamp. |
