Numeral cancel 15 black VF on Scott #265 VF horizontal pair (issued 14 March 1952). #15 in 1946-1961 period (Litli-Hvammur). #15 is rare in earlier periods (at other small locations), but is still quite scarce in this final period. I have not recorded having an example of the #15 cancellation since I started keeping track around 2000. ACTUAL item. |

267, Facit #305v1 [1950 2 kronur Kaupstadur, Vestmanneyjum (harbor), Thin Bluish Paper] NH with Superb centering. A wonderful example of a stamp which is quite hard to find with such nice centering! ACTUAL item. |

267, Facit #305v1 [1950 2 kronur Kaupstadur, Vestmanneyjum (harbor), Thin Bluish Paper] NEVER HINGED BLOCK OF FOUR with VF centering. Very fresh and attractive. Priced at less than the value of four NH VF singles ($39.25 each = $157). A key stamp and block from this challenging set. ACTUAL item. |

273 [1952 25 kr Parliament Building] Used with VF centering, and neatly struck YEAR-DATED 1957 REYKJAVIK cancellation. While this stamp is not particularly scarce in Used condition, it is remarkably difficult to find with a year-dated cancellation. In my experience, fewer than one out of 30 examples have a year dated cancellation! Excellent example crisp engraving impression and perfect perforations. The centering on this issue varies considerably; well-centered examples can be hard to find. ACTUAL item. |

273 [1952 25 kr Parliament Building] Used with VF centering, and neatly struck OFFICIAL FIRST DAY cancellation (the date does not show, but the cancel is a special FD cancel). While this stamp is not particularly scarce in Used condition, first day covers are quite scarce (Facit 2022 value SEK 1200 = $120 7/2023). A handsome example. ACTUAL item. |

278-82 [1953 Ancient Icelandic Manuscripts / Books] NEVER HINGED complete set in BLOCKS OF FOUR with SUPERB centering. A very carefully selected set with remarkable centering and wonderful color and freshness. While a basic NH set is not hard to find, a set of such nicely centered blocks is very unusual! (A set of single stamps this nice would fetch $60 or more; this set of blocks is priced below that break-up value.) ACTUAL item. |

305 [1957 Bessastadir (Presidential Residence)] NEVER HINGED lower left PLATE NUMBER 1 CORNER MARGIN BLOCK OF FOUR with VF-XF centering. A fabulous example of a key plate block of this era. There is only one plate block per sheet and only one plate number position for each stamp issue. There is no catalog that lists these plate blocks, but the are remarkably hard to find; especially for this high-denomination "key" stamp. (Single stamp of this quality sell for $30 each, but plate blocks are incredibly scarcer!) To the best of my recollection, this is the only example I have had in 49 years! ACTUAL item. |
