423, 430, 463 All Fluorescent [1967 and 1968 Rock Carvings: 40 dark carmine, 90 blue, 40 øre greenish blue] (VF) on attractive 15 September 1974 cover mailed aboard the M/S NORDNORGE and signed by the ship captain, canceled with the SVALBARDRUTA (Svalbard Route) pictorial ship cancellation, sent to the U.S. Because this route ran from mainland Norway to Svalbard (Spitzbergen), we can reasonably assume that this cover did enter Svalbard / Spitzbergen waters, but that it was not landed or sent from there. Very attractive and colorful franking all with values from the same popular / topical (marine mammals, fish, animals, early people, archeology) definitive design. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #423 Non-Fluorescent [1963 40 øre carmine Rock Carvings] (VF) solo use on tourist picture post card (midnight sun at Nordkapp) to Sweden, with F-VF NORDKAPP 17 July 1966 pictorial handstamped cancellation on stamp and F-VF side postmark. Multiple types of this Nordkapp postmark exist; compare carefully. Correct 40 øre franking for Nordic post card rate (16 Nov 1964 - 28 Feb 1968). Even though Sweden is right next door, Nordkapp covers and cards to Sweden are remarkably unusual; I was lucky to obtain a small group from a collection built in Sweden. ACTUAL item. |
