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. |

Scott #101 [1975 1.20 kr Sirius Dog Sled Patrol] (VF) solo use on 11 [November or December?] 1976 business-size cover with TIED 1976 Christmas seal canceled with a GODTHÅB CHRISTMAS Machine Pictorial Slogan cancellation. This is genuine "business" use from The Greenlandic Sports Federation addressed to the Sports Editor of Danmarks Radio, in Denmark. Use of Christmas seals by businesses and organizations is uncommon compared to use by individuals. Since this seal was issued, I have only had two or three examples of this seal tied on a cover in genuine non-philatelic postal use. 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. |
