Official postal (internal post office mail) stampless 29 October 1919 Adresskort parcel card for a single domestic 2.36 kg parcel sent within SÄNIÖ utilizing the Swedish language side of the card. Marked "Rek" (registered) and with "Fripaket" written where the postage would otherwise be placed. Superb violet postal handstamp. Such items are seldom offered.

Stampless 26 September 1929 Postförskottsanvisning / Postiennakko-osoitus (cash on delivery proof of payment card) used within JOENSUU for 281.70 mk; left-side coupon has been clipped as usual with cards. Blue boxed postal handstamps: "RETOUR" (return to sender), "TAKAISIN" (refund), and on the reverse "EI LUNASTETTU" (not redeemed). This is NOT the usual type of COD parcel card; this card is the evidence that a payment was made. However, the recipient of the payment did not accept / redeem the payment; the card was returned; the payer was refunded. This type of card is extremely scarce; probably because they bore no stamps (the card was the second part of the original request for payment; the stamps were on the first part) and/or because they were usually retained by the post office or discarded. I cannot recall having another example of such a refunded COD payment card in 34 years! Very scarce and interesting postal history item.

205 (F-VF+) [10 mark Lake Saima re-engraved, Red Lilac] Very scarce solo usage on registered 4 December 1945 cover, from Turku / Åbo, to Sweden; from one insurance company to another. 1945 Christmas seal tied by Finnish censorship tape. This stamp is scarce as a solo franking on an ENVELOPE (usually they were used either with other stamps or on parcel cards). Very nice early post-war item.
