Norway: Cancellations: By Type - Town - Early Single Ring M-S
Scott numbers have been used unless otherwise indicated. NK = Norgeskatalogen numbers. Cancellations starting with the letter "Å" and "Ø" are at the end of the alphabet. All these items and much more are available for viewing on approval; please request approvals.
The most recent listing of single-ring town cancellations appears in the 2008 (and before in 2004) Norgeskatalogen, which I may still have available for sale. Please inquire.
Scott #18, Facit #18b, Carmine on White Paper [1871 3 skilling Posthorn] Used with Fine centering and neat, upright, fully dated 21 June 1877 "(BUREA)U REEXPEDIANT DE CHR(IST)IANIA" single-ring RAILWAY cancellation. A strike from this cancellation device is too large to fit on a single stamp; this is about as good as it can get on a single stamp! In the NK Postal II (2014) this cancellation has a price of NOK 50 on the red 3-skilling value, but examples this nicely struck are hard to find.

Scott #21 White Paper, Facit #21a [1873 7 sk Posthorn] Used with F-VF centering and a crisp, VF centered "CHRISTIANIA OMK." (Type 4) 26 May 1875 single-ring RAILWAY cancellation, used in the proper time period. This stamp is hard to find with such complete and well-centered cancellations and hard to find with railway cancellations. An excellent example in very nice quality.
