Scott numbers have been given for these listings. If you would prefer to examine the stamps before purchasing, or you are any seeking stamps (or any condition or any quality) not listed here, please send your want list using your choice of Scott or Facit numbers.
Unless there is a 6-digit item number in the left-most column, the images shown in this section are standard images of the issues from my image library; they are presented to show the designs of the stamp issues and not to show the specific individual stamps being offered. The centering of the stamps in the images is usually Superb or VF quality; again these are not images of the individual stamps being offered. Most early stamps had multiple printings, thus color shades vary greatly; the colors in the images are random printings/colors. If there is a 6-digit item number in the left-most column, the image is of the actual item being offered.
All the listed conditions and qualities were in stock at the moment this list was prepared and I endeavor to maintain them in stock and to keep this website updated. However, my stock changes daily and (to paraphrase) good stamps are hard to find. If you are willing to accept a different grade or quality if an item is temporarily out of stock, please let me know when ordering (add a comment at the conclusion of the shopping cart process) and please also let me know of any alternates you will consider. Furthermore, new stamps are being put in stock every day; if the quality and/or condition you are seeking is not listed, please send your want list.
The publication of this list is a "first effort" in quite a long time. It surely includes a few errors; I will be grateful if you would inform me of any errors. Stamps "missing" from the list simply might not be included because they are not in stock or are singles which are normally only listed in full sets. Just the same if it seems like something obvious (and not a single from a set) is missing, please let me know. If you can offer for sale items that are not listed here, please do so; I especially need sources of pre-1930 mint (hinged or never hinged) stamps and recent used complete sets. Prices are subject to typographical error and change, but I will do my best to honor the listed prices to the extent of available stock.
TIP: These price list pages are in Scott number order. To most easily navigate these stamp price list pages, use the "drop down" menu located above this text (and at the bottom of every page). You can also hover over the numbered page links and read the name of the page in the bottom status bar of your browser.

Scott #129, Facit #111W1 [1929 25 penni light brown M-17 Saarinen Lion, Perforation 14 x 14, Swastika Watermark Normal] Used with Superb centering and with a neat cancellation, probably (TAM)PERE. The cancellation is clearly dated "....V 29", thus either April or May 1929. This stamp was first available for sale on 1 February 1929 and was only sold in 1929-1930 (invalid for postage after December 31, 1930). Even though 2,000,000 of this stamp were printed, only 41,324 were sold during the period of validity! Thus genuinely Used, properly dated examples are "very scarce", especially with such nice appearance. An outstanding example -- the nicest Used example I have been able to offer privately or publicly in many years and the first such example I have ever been able to offer on the website.

129 [1929 25 penni M-17 Saarinen Lion, Swastikas Watermark] Used with F-VF example with partial HELSINGFO(RS) cancellation that does NOT show a year date. This stamp is quite scarce canceled in the proper time period, but, while this cancellation appears to be from an actual proper cancellation device, it was surely applied some years later after the stamp became invalid for postage at the end of 1930. I am offering it as-is, as canceled-later example. While "used" examples are regularly seen on the market, it is extremely unusual for them to include a year date; the vast majority were canceled well after the normal period of use (usually conveniently not showing the year date). Again, this is offered as-is at a low price.

Scott #131 REVERSED WATERMARK, Facit #113IC1aW2 [1927-28 40 penni bluish green, M-17 Saarinen Lion, Type I (thin numerals), Perf 14, Swastika Watermark Reversed] Used VF centered. Facit calls this an inverted watermark, but more correctly it is reversed -- printed on the wrong side of the paper, rather than upside down. A somewhat scarcer watermark variety listed by Facit 2017 at SEK 180, but in my experience it is much harder to obtain that value suggests.

Scott #131 REVERSED WATERMARK, Facit #113IC1aW2 [1927-28 40 penni bluish green M-17 Saarinen Lion, Type I (thin numerals), Perf 14, Swastika Watermark Reversed] Used with VF centering and neat, very light cancellation. Though the cancellation is very light, it is of a proper type and an uncanceled example would have much more value anyway. Facit calls this an inverted watermark, but more correctly it is reversed -- printed on the wrong side of the paper, rather than upside down. A scarcer watermark variety listed by Facit 2025 at SEK 180, but in my experience it is much harder to obtain that value suggests.

131c, Facit #113IIC2W1 [1927-28 40 penni M-17 Saarinen Lion, Type II, Perf 14.25 x 14.75 Swastika Watermark] BLOCK OF FOUR, NH with VF centering for this printing (naturally very small margins). Wonderfully fresh. Multiples of this stamp are scarce; NH singles are even hard to find. Price just as four single stamps!

Scott #131c REVERSED WATERMARK, Facit #113IIC2W2 [1928 40 penni green M-17 Saarinen Lion, Type II (thick numerals), Perf 14.25 x 14.75, Swastika Watermark Reversed] Used with F-VF centering. The cancellation is a partial straight-line "postal stopping place" (rural country store, etc.) type, but is a bit blurry. Facit calls this an inverted watermark, but more correctly it is reversed -- printed on the wrong side of the paper, rather than upside down. A "very scarce" watermark variety listed by Facit 2025 at SEK 700, but in my experience it is much harder to obtain that value suggests. This watermark variety is missing from virtually all collections.

Scott #133 REVERSED WATERMARK, Facit #115W2 [1926 60 penni M-17 Saarinen Lion, Swastika Watermark Reversed] Used with F-VF centering and neat, light cancellation. Facit calls this an inverted watermark, but more correctly it is reversed -- printed on the wrong side of the paper, rather than upside down. A very attractive example of a stamp that is not often offered.

Scott #133 REVERSED WATERMARK, Facit #115W2 [1926 60 penni M-17 Saarinen Lion, Swastika Watermark Reversed] Used with F-VF centering and extremely light cancellation, but one pulled perforation tooth at top. Very attractive example of a stamp that is not often offered. Otherwise would be $16.
