Scott #51a, NK #68, Facit #68 [1896 10 øre Carmine, Knudsen Print, Perf 13.5 x 12.5] Mint F-VF+ (bottom two stamps NH) 4-block with perforation "error" Type 1 on the left side stamps (does not add to the cost). This block is from the Norman Gary collection; he marked the four cliche types as 2-3/4-1 (but the standard numbering for the types may have changed since he determined them). Wonderfully fresh and attractive -- nice multiples of this "workhorse" denomination are really quite scarce; these stamps were almost completely used up in normal postal use. Even NH stamps are scarce. The break-up value of this block is about $420 (and I do have clients seeking the single stamps) but I cannot bring myself to break up such a nice and scarce block. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #54 MINI COLLECTION OF 10 TOWN CANCELLATIONS [1901 25 øre Posthorn, serifed letters, color spot in top ring of posthorn, Perf 14.5 x 13.5] Used on small pieces, 9 with VF centering and one with F-VF centering and a stain. Mini collection of 10 DIFFERENT TOWN CANCELLATIONS, all 2-ring cancels in THREE TYPES (2-ring no-bridge; 2-ring with-bridge no-vertical-bars; and 2-ring bridge with vertical bars). All the cancellations are VF to XF to Superb strikes, with 9 of the 10 extremely well centered (the tenth is sideways). If offered individually, these would total about $75. As a group, it is much less work for me, thus a much lower price! ACTUAL item. |

56, Facit #82, NK #82 [1900 35 øre Posthorn, Knudsen Printing, Perf 14.5 x 13.5] NEVER HINGED lower right corner margin 4-block with all VF and XF stamps. Only a small hinge mark in the sheet margin. Stated by the previous owner (a Posthorn specialist) to be from the first printing. While not a very scarce stamp in NH condition, or even in NH/Mint multiples, examples this nice are quite unusual! Stunning appearance! Priced at only the break-up value of the four stamps! Very low price as a block! ACTUAL item. |

56, Facit #82, NK #82 [1900 35 øre Posthorn, Knudsen Printing, Perf 14.5 x 13.5] Used 4-block with SUPERBLY CENTERED stamps and nice champhered-corners rectangular 1907 parcel cancel. Unusually white paper. The upper left stamp has a small spot on it. NK states that used blocks are scarce (the largest known to exist are 6 and 8), and prices used blocks at 50 (FIFTY) times the value of a single stamp -- and NK is conservative! I have not recorded having another example in 45 years. Without the spot, this very scarce block would certainly fetch at least $400 and perhaps more with this centering. ACTUAL item. |

1966 OFFICIAL REPRINTS: Scott #57, 70, 100, 152, J1, O1. The complete set of the reprints that were adhered into the 1966 Norwegian Handbook Volume 2; 4000 of each were issued. These were soaked to remove them from the book page by a previous owner. To my knowledge, these do not exist in the market with original gum. They are "mint no gum", but they are not hinged. The reprints are rouletted, and are on thin white paper. They are in VF to XF to Superb quality. This 1966 set, now 59 years old, is seldom offered having been removed from the book page -- in this way you do not have to be concerned about damaging a stamp if you were to remove them yourself from a book page. Wonderfully fresh and bright. ACTUAL item. |
