64 [1907 1 kr King Haakon VII, First Design] Used with Fine centering and neat, fully dated, virtually complete, circular (bridge style) 21 August 1909 LEVANGER (a mid-sized town) town cancellation. Such complete circular cancellations are quite scarce on these high-denomination Haakon VII stamps, especially from other than the largest cities.

66 [1907 2 kr King Haakon VII, First Design] Used F-VF+ centered, with unusually light, boxed (rounded corners) parcel cancellation. Though parcel use was typical for this stamp, this is an unusually neat and attractive example. Great color and very crisp impression.

67 [1909 1 kr King Haakon, Die II] Used with centering that is technically F-VF+, but it has four clear margins which is unusual for this small-margined stamp. Neat 1910 parcel cancel (as was normally used). Unusually strong, deep color. Much nicer than usually found!

123 [1927 35 øre olive-brown Standing Lion, typographed] NEVER HINGED with VF centering, but with a couple blunted perforations (typical for the printings of this stamp that had "pointed tooth" perforations). The 35 øre olive-brown is the scarcest (Mint, Hinged or NH) stamp in this definitive issue -- it is a key stamp missing from many collections, especially in NH condition. There were ten printings of this stamp resulting in several obvious differences in color and gum. This example is a scarcer Dark Brownish Olive with Yellowish Crackly Gum. Such nice examples are quite hard to find. Facit 2022 NH value SEK 3200 [about $380 4/2022].

123 [1927 35 øre olive-brown Standing Lion, typographed] Mint, lightly hinged, with Superb centering. The 35 øre olive-brown is the scarcest (Mint) stamp in this definitive issue -- it is a key stamp missing from many Mint collections. Perfect centering and excellent perforations -- scarce thus. An outstanding example.

150-3 [1930 Saint Olaf set/4] Mint, moderately hinged or NH, complete set in 4-BLOCKS. The 10, 15, and 20 øre stamps are VF centered and scarce thus. The 30 øre stamps are F-VF. The bottom two stamps all NH on the 15, 20, and 30 øre blocks. Priced at LESS than the value of the single NH or Hinged stamps.
