Scott #O8 Lilac [1926 2 on 5 øre Surcharged Official First Issue] NEVER HINGED with F-VF centering, but with a crease. MAJOR PLATE VARIETY: "Top line of final E of ERKE continues into unprinted area inside the frameline." On normal stamps, the top of the final E is surrounded by color. However, in the variety, there is no color at the right end of the top line of the E. My recollection is that this variety was listed and documented in earlier editions of Norgeskatalogen, but somewhere along the line, the listing disappeared. This is a SCARCE and well-known variety that should be listed in the specialized catalogs! It is very rarely offered which suggests that the printers may have discovered the problem and repaired the plate at some point. It has probably been 20 years since I was last able to offer an example!

Scott #O12 [1933 10 øre Official, Wide Design, Offset / Lithography] ROUGH PERFORATION VARIETY. Used with VF centering. Extremely small-hole, rough perforations. The rough perforation stamps tend to be hard to find because early collectors often failed to recognize that the rough perforations are a collectible variety and did not retain them. This example is particularly nice with a light corner cancellation.

Scott #O22-32 [1937-1938 5-100 øre Watermarked Official set] NEVER HINGED with F-VF/VF/XF/Superb centering, complete set of UPPER RIGHT CORNER MARGIN BLOCKS OF FOUR. Only three of the blocks are F-VF centered. Wonderfully fresh with bright colors and perfect gum. The watermarks are all clearly visible without using fluid. Years ago, this was a readily available stamp issue, but blocks have become scarce (having been broken up into singles) and sets of singles are snapped up whenever I offer them. A NH VF set of singles would sell for $37.35, with XF or Superb much higher, thus the break-up value of this block set is MORE THAN $149!
