Scott #28 Grayish Ultramarine, Facit #16Lddd [1882 20 penni 4-Numeral, Perforation 12.5, 1882 Printing] (VF) on 19 February 1883 cover with RAILWAY cancellations #48. The railway postmarks are roughly struck, but that is virtually always the case (working quickly on a moving train). There is no return address or information to tell us if this was picked up by the train from a hanging mailbag or if it was mailed aboard the train. Addressed to Helsingfors [Helsinki] and arriving the same day, with an "ANK" receiver postmark. The cover was dated in pencil at upper left either by the recipient or a later archivist. There are no postal markings on the reverse. Addressed to a student at "Poste restante" [general delivery, pickup at the post office]. "Poste restante" covers are somewhat unusual. Small, neat cover, intact in excellent condition. Such nice examples are seldom found today. ACTUAL item. |

Customary "ANK 28/4" (receiving) side postmark, but with unusually bold style of lettering. The date is quite early and defines this as one of the early printings which are scarcer on cover. Wonderful railway postmarks. ACTUAL item. |

1896 usage of 10 Penni 3-Numeral postal card with railway cancellation, to Tammerfors. This card is quite unremarkable except that between the two address lines someone has made repeated colorless impressions with a roulette device of the same style as was used for making the "big tooth" roulette postage stamps (as well as revenue, local, and shipping company stamps). These impressions may have nothing at all to do with those devices, however, it does make this an interesting item. ACTUAL item. |
