TASIUSSAQ PR. NANORTALIK Daka #103.Bro.01x: 1 May 1965 commercial use to Denmark (bicycle advertising cover) with Scott #31 [1960 15 øre Bright Violet King] and #53 [1963 20 øre Ultramarine King]. Postmark device damaged (bottom flattened) in 1964, but continued in use until 1969. Though the cancel name at the top cannot be read, there is no doubt about it (the return address) and the franking combination is extremely unusual! ACTUAL item. |

56, 79 [1964 35 øre red King; 1972 70 øre Mailboat] (VF) on 20 February 1974 philatelic cover, to West Germany, canceled GRØNNEDAL (DAKA #30.Bro.01), with three VF strikes including one away from the stamps (for clarity). Either this addressee sent off for different town postmarks or he subscribed to a postmark subscription service (which was often the only way to discover that a new version or variety of a postmark was being used). Because this particular postmark was in use from 1951 into 1988, the catalog value is modest, however this village actually handled very little mail and this postmark is fairly scarce in any particular year. A nice example. ACTUAL item. |

74 [1973 10 kroner Walrus] (VF) on wonderful solo usage 1978 registered airmail cover from DUNDAS to ISLE OF MAN! A registry label was added in København when it was noticed that the envelope did not have a label. The postmark date is unclear, but the recipient docketed it upon arrival. The Greenland postal rate book is (IMHO) completely useless on the European-destination airmail surcharges of this period and thus I have not been able to verify the rate; but it looks to be reasonably close. This 10 kroner stamp is very scarce on cover (envelope); most were used on parcel cards, etc. This is certainly the only solo usage of this stamp on envelope that I can ever recall seeing. The fact that it is to a wonderful destination such as the Isle of Man and that it is a Slania-engraved stamp makes it all the better. ACTUAL item. |

96 [1979 1.60 kr blue Queen; Slania-engraved] (VF) solo use on 27 May 1980 POSTALLY USED cover to the U.S. The cancellation is Daka #101.Bro.15 (or a fixed date variety of that number??) "SDR. STRØMFJORD" pictorial postmark picturing a helicopter. The address is written in fancy [British schooling?] script, which may relate to the date... 27 May 1980 was the date that special cards were canceled in Greenland that had been posted at the LONDON 80 stamp show in England -- however, all such examples from the show that I have seen have had a special LONDON 80 handstamp on them. This cover may have simply been posted at the Greenlandic booth at the show, from where it was then taken to Greenland for postmarking and onward transmission. Interestingly, THE COVER HAS BEEN SIGNED by two people. The previous owner thought that this was a helicopter flight cover (there is no evidence of that -- this was just a standard pictorial postmark at the time -- and that the signatures were of the pilots. I do not know who signed the cover or if it was posted in Greenland or London. However, the cover has been POSTALLY USED; it bears four different U.S. letter-number sorter markings on the reverse.
