209-11 [1938 Reykjavik University set] (all VF) on 21 December 1938 registered philatelic cover from REYKJAVÍK to the U.S. with transit and receiving postmarks. Light blue frame registration label. A quantity of similar envelopes were mailed to Mr. Vilhjálmur Thor, Commissioner General Icelandic Commission to the New York Worlds Fair 1939. It is my understanding that these were sent to Mr. Thor to be used as gifts to Icelandic supporters in the U.S. and/or to be sold at the fair (which opened April 30, 1939). Nice postally used examples of these stamps (which are hard to find actually used) -- a Used VF set of singles sells for $56.50 -- VF centering is hard to find. I actually currently need Used VF singles for stock! Even though this is philatelic, the registration and backstamps make it exhibitable. Very attractive and a nice 1939 Worlds Fair item! ACTUAL item. |
