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.

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!

69 [1910 2.00 kr King Haakon, Die II] Mint hinged with Fine centering. There are a couple blunted perforations, but the overall appearance is excellent and fresh. An attractive and reasonably priced example of a stamp that is scarce in Mint condition.

123 [1927 35 øre olive-brown Standing Lion, typographed] NEVER HINGED with F-VF+ centering, but with a one short perforation. 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 Greenish Olive with White Smooth Gum. NH examples are quite hard to find. Facit 2022 NH value SEK 3200 [about $380 4/2022].

149 Shifted Overprint Variety, Facit #176bv, NK #176vo1, Orange-Yellow [1929 "14 ØRE 14" Surcharge on "2 SKILL 2"] Used with typical Average centering a nice, light cancellation. To qualify to be this variety, the overprint has to be at least 1 mm above the "2 SKILL 2", leaving the original denomination completely clear -- this certainly qualifies. While the overprint on this issue normally shifts around somewhat, usually the reason that the overprint is this far off is because the underlying stamps are so poorly centered, not necessarily that the overprint was shifted. Thus examples of well centered stamps probably do not exist (or are extremely rare) with this shifted overprint variety. Examples with such a strong shift as this one are remarkably hard to find. Facit 2024 value SEK "from 400". [From the Hamerschlag collection.]

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.
