1948 German Olympic fundraising and promotional label for German participation in the 1952 HELSINKI, FINLAND OLYMPICS. Dark green on white paper. Design and text in reverse (white): hand holding Olympic Torch. Due to plate layout vs perforation machine layout, the centering varies a lot and VF centering is quite hard to find. No-gum (and damaged) examples are fairly easy to find, but NH examples seem to be hard to find. The lowest cost NH example I have recently seen offered was $14. NH VF Single. REPRESENTATIVE image of stamp design. |

Advertising Label: Pre-WWI issued by F.Å.A. [Finska Ångfartygs Aktiebolaget -- Finnish Steamship (Stock) Company]. Very attractive multi-colored life-saving-ring design -- including "gold" -- and listing the various steamship routes and names of ships operated by the company. This company surely carried a lot of mail -- it would be interesting to display this label with a piece of mail carried by this company. Rarely offered. All the examples I have ever seen had the same rough perforation. NEVER HINGED with VF centering, bottom margin example. ACTUAL item. |

Label: 300th Anniversary of the founding of the city of Jakobstad / Pietarsaari (the Swedish vs Finnish spellings) by Ebba Brahe, with a portrait of Brahe. Extremely high quality engraving and printing; printed exactly like the postage stamps of the era and very likely produced in the same facility. Dark Brownish Red (perhaps almost Lake color) on white paper that appears to be identical to stamp paper of the era, with gumming also like stamps. Vertical format, perforated 14. While this label is sometimes found on 1952 covers related to the Jakobstad anniversary, I do not recall ever in 51 years being able to offer Mint examples. NEVER HINGED with F-VF+ centering. ACTUAL item. |
