Scott #O34 (or #O23) [1941 7 øre Official #O34 Unwatermarked or #O23 Watermarked] (VF) on 11 July 1942 unsealed printed matter cover marked "Trykksaker", from MOLDE to TINGVOLL. On 13 July (postmark on reverse) forwarded from Tingvoll to Angvik. (Angik is a couple/few kilometers directly across the fjord from Tingvoll, but 70-80 km by road.) Both postmarks are bridge-with-vertical-lines style. Both versions of the 7 øre stamp are much scarcer Used than Mint and can be hard to find on nice-looking covers. This is assumed to be the lower-value unwatermarked version because of the date. Very neat and attractive. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #O41 (or #O30) [1941 40 øre greenish black Official #O41 Unwatermarked or #O30 Watermarked] (VF) SOLO USE on 12 September 1944 domestic rate "money letter" envelope, which contained 113.40 kroner in cash, used locally, from the county treasurer office in SINGSÅS, with bridge-no-vertical-lines style cancellations. The reverse had been sealed (no longer present) with official post office "POSTOBLAT" seals. The addressee name has been erased for privacy, but it is not very obvious. This is assumed to be the lower-value unwatermarked version because of the date. The domestic letter rate was 20 øre (1 January 1921 thru 30 June 1945. The insured (money) letter fee (for up to 500 kr) was 20 øre 1 Sept 1920 thru 30 June 1949. The money (insured) letter service had more secure requirements and methods than the registered mail service. However, registered mail numbered postal labels (with the "R" torn off) -- as this example -- were often used to provide the tracking number for the item. Very neat appearance. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #O38A [1946 25 øre orange Official] (VF) on 23 February 1949 domestic cover from the forest inspection office in Møre and Romsdal. Mailed from SURNADAL with two SUPERB (the device must have been almost new) of their bridge-with-vertical-lines cancellation. Official covers from the 25 øre rate period are surprisingly hard to find. The rate ran only from 1 October 1946 thru 30 September 1951. This color of the 25 øre stamp came into use on the first day of that postal rate. Very attractive and seldom offered! ACTUAL item. |
