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.

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.
