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. |

115 [1926 10 øre Lion] (F-VF) on 1927 picture post card with GUDVANGEN bridge-style cancellation (scarcer small town), to the Netherlands with receiver handstamp. The card pictures a young couple wearing regional costume dress (Hardanger?), and has a small thumbtack hole, but otherwise is in excellent quality. Published by "J. Karlsen, Bergen", the card is a very thick, very high-quality multi-colored production with printed colors (I cannot count them all, but may be more than 8 colors) on a textured surface (which is difficult to print). Very attractive and unusual. ACTUAL item. |

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. |
