9 December 1940 package label/front for printed matter parcel from TRONDHEIM to Denmark with both Oslo "Ao" and Danish (German) censor handstamps. 98 øre franking (rough condition as to be expected on a package). At 7 øre per 50 grams, this is a 700 gram / 14th weight class franking -- such printed matter items are really quite scarce. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #94, 85 x2, 77, 75 x2 [1910 50, 1910 20 blue, 1910 5 green, 1909 2 øre Posthorns] (Fine, F-VF, VF) on very attractive 9 October 1918 INSURED (2200.00 kroner) MONEY LETTER cover ("bankobrev") from the tiny village of NEJESTRANDEN (fjord village near the west coast, located east of Molde) to a bank in MOLDE, with receiver. Clear "RUMSDALS POSTEXSP. / N" SHIP MAIL transit marking on reverse. This is a scarcer ship mail postmark; I do not recall previously in 51 years having an example on cover. Two very pretty and intact wax seals impressed with the name "E. Flovik". The 99 øre total franking seems very odd, but the FRANKING IS CORRECT: Letter to 100 grams (note the "60" weight marking in the upper left corner) = 20; Insurance for the first 750 kr = 34; Insurance for each of the five 250 kr increments to 2000 kr = 5 x 8 kr = 40; and Counting Fee = 5 for verifying that the envelope indeed contained 2000 kr. The complexity of these rates and unusual total frankings make collecting Money Letters very interesting. These rates are documented in most modern editions of Norgeskatalogen and in the companion Norgeskatalogen Postal (postal history and postmarks) catalogs. A very attractive FOUR-COLOR cover with an interesting total postal rate and with a scarce ship mail postmark. ACTUAL item. |
