Scott #B2 [1930 20+25 øre First Nordkap Semi-Postal] Used with Average centering (perforations cut the design), but with a Superbly centered, though lightly struck, BØN 2-ring 24 January 1939 small-town cancellation. By 1939 these stamps were for sale in more post offices, but still had very limited distribution. Most small-town uses of these early Nordkap stamps resulted from the stamps being obtained elsewhere and brought to that location. I do not recall ever (in 52 years) having had an example of this BØN cancellation on any stamp; and especially not on a Nordkap stamp (I do watch carefully for such items). Despite the poor centering, this is a remarkably unusual item! ACTUAL item. |

B2 [1930 20 + 25 øre Nordkap] Used VF+ with neat (D)OVREBA(NEN) 1930s-type RAILWAY cancellation. This cancel on this stamp is scarce -- from 1930-1931 this stamp was only sold at Nordkap and Oslo, and then through 1935, this stamp was only being sold at a few additional locations: Bergen, Trondheim, Hammerfest, and on board the Hurtigruten Bergen - Kirkenes ships. Uses at other locations, and especially on trains even after 1935, are seldom seen as before 1936 the stamp would have to be brought in by the sender. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #B3 [1930 30+25 øre First Nordkap Semi-Postal] Used with XF centering and with a Superbly centered and very well struck RENA 2-ring 30 June 1930 small-town cancellation. This set was issued on either 25 (Facit) or 28 (NK) June 1930, thus this is an extremely early use. But even more importantly, before 1932 the stamps were only sold (per NK) at Nordkap and in Oslo. This stamp would have had to have been brought to this small town of Rena, which is located in the center (east-west) of the country, north of Oslo and Hamar. This is certainly one of the earliest -- if not the earliest -- small-town uses of any of the three 1930 Nordkap stamps that I have had in 52 years. An outstanding item of exceptional quality and rarity! ACTUAL item. |

B3 [1930 30 + 25 øre Nordkap] Used VF centered, but with light bend. "(VIG I HE)LGELAND" 15 February 1933 town cancellation. This cancel on this stamp is scarce -- from 1930-1931 this stamp was only sold at Nordkap and Oslo, and then through 1935, this stamp was only being sold at a few additional locations: Bergen, Trondheim, Hammerfest, and on board the Hurtigruten Bergen - Kirkenes ships. Pre-1936 uses at other locations are seldom seen as the stamp would have to be brought in by the sender. ACTUAL item. |
