Scott #277 x3, 286, 197A [1946 2 kr King Haakon; 1947 50 øre Postal Service; 1946 25 øre orange Lion] (VF, some with wear typical for parcel cards) on 4 May 1948 parcel tag specially printed for mail to the U.S. For one 3 kg parcel, from "KRISTIANSAND S. / PP" with parcel post cancellation, to Buffalo, NY, USA (no receiving markings, but none are expected in this era). Complete tag (often the left end is missing) in very good condition for these. Parcels sent within / between the Scandinavian / Nordic countries and Europe were "controlled" by a parcel card (which bore the stamps and which also acted as signed proof of delivery that was kept by the post office) that usually accompanied, but was not attached to, the package. However because the American parcel post system was completely different, parcel tags like these were designed to be attached to the package. The high denominations of the King Haakon stamps were mostly used on parcel cards and tags. ACTUAL item. |
