Scott #53, NK/Facit #79 [1899 20 øre, Knudsen Print, Perf 14.5 x 13.5] (XF) on 16 April 1900 cover from SALHUS, with very nicely struck 2-ring cancellation (no bridge) to the U.S. On reverse "BERGEN TUR 2" Swiss-type bridge transit postmark. TUR cancellations (the TUR, or tour, number is the number of the delivery in the day) are quite unusual as transit postmarks, especially on mail to other countries. Mutliple U.S. transit and receivers. Typical light wear. The 2-ring cancellations from small villages are avidly sought after. ACTUAL item. |

77 [1910 5 øre green Posthorn] (F-VF) on 1919 cover from BERGEN with 5-dashed-lines Krag machine cancellation. Unsealed printed matter to HERSTED, Denmark. Someone has written "Brevkort" (post card) in red; perhaps on the receiving end to indicate that this qualified for the lower postage rate (same as post cards). ACTUAL item. |
