281 [1953 1.75 kr Old Manuscripts] (F-VF) solo use on 25 March 1955 airmail picture postcard with "KEFLAVIK / FLUGVÖLLUR" bridge cancellation, to the U.S. The 1.75 kr franking is a 5 aur convenience overpayment of the 1.70 kr rate -- there was never a 1.70 kr stamp in this rate period. The total 170 aur postal rate is the surface world (outside Scandinavia) postcard rate (100 aur) plus the minimum airmail surcharge amount (70 aur); 1 October 1953 - 30 June 1958 inclusive. Locally published postcard picturing Þórsmörk above the Krossá river. Minor wear at top of card. Surprisingly scarce solo use of this stamp, though a small convenience overpayment, this was typically how this rate was actually paid. This cancellation device is especially interesting to collectors of bridge cancellations: It has no lower bridge line; similar to type B5 which has no upper bridge line, but to my knowledge a type number has not been assigned to this one with no lower bridge line. However, Þorsteins in his 2003 bridge cancels book lumped this cancel into type B6; it seems to be the only such postmark with no lower bridge line (in that catalog the cancel is valued at 10 Euro.
