Scott #B1-3 [1930 First Nordkap Semi-Postal Set] Used with VF-XF-Superb centering. The cancellations are all remarkably neat corner cancellations that allow the design to show, but are the proper types of cancellations for this period. Extremely unusual and high quality for this issue! Facit 2024 value is SEK 1300 = ca. US$130 (9/2025) for normal Used quality, but this set is much, much nicer! Rarely offered so nice! ACTUAL item. |

Scott #B1 [1930 15+25 øre First Nordkap Semi-Postal] Used with F-VF+ centering and proper in-period style of OSLO 4 May 1935 cancellation. Before 1936, the Nordkap stamps were only sold in about 6 of post offices, including Oslo. This lowest denomination is especially hard to find with fully dated, in-period cancellations. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #B2 [1930 20+25 øre First Nordkap Semi-Postal] Used with F-VF+ centering and proper in-period style of cancellation.

NK #182v1, Facit #182v1 (2024 Facit SEK 600 for Used). The catalog-listed varieties are extremely difficult to obtain. Very fresh and attractive example of a scarce variety -- with the cancellation well clear of the variety! ACTUAL item. |

B2 [1930 20 + 25 øre Nordkap] Used VF+ with neat (D)OVREBA(NEN) 1930s-type RAILWAY cancellation. This cancel on this stamp is scarce -- from 1930-1931 this stamp was only sold at Nordkap and Oslo, and then through 1935, this stamp was only being sold at a few additional locations: Bergen, Trondheim, Hammerfest, and on board the Hurtigruten Bergen - Kirkenes ships. Uses at other locations, and especially on trains even after 1935, are seldom seen as before 1936 the stamp would have to be brought in by the sender. ACTUAL item. |

This is an early strike of this cancellation. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #B2 [1930 20+25 øre First Nordkap Semi-Postal] Used with Average centering (perforations cut the design), but with a Superbly centered, though lightly struck, BØN 2-ring 24 January 1939 small-town cancellation. By 1939 these stamps were for sale in more post offices, but still had very limited distribution. Most small-town uses of these early Nordkap stamps resulted from the stamps being obtained elsewhere and brought to that location. I do not recall ever (in 52 years) having had an example of this BØN cancellation on any stamp; and especially not on a Nordkap stamp (I do watch carefully for such items). Despite the poor centering, this is a remarkably unusual item! ACTUAL item. |

Scott #B3 [1930 30+25 øre First Nordkap Semi-Postal] Used with XF centering and with a Superbly centered and very well struck RENA 2-ring 30 June 1930 small-town cancellation. This set was issued on either 25 (Facit) or 28 (NK) June 1930, thus this is an extremely early use. But even more importantly, before 1932 the stamps were only sold (per NK) at Nordkap and in Oslo. This stamp would have had to have been brought to this small town of Rena, which is located in the center (east-west) of the country, north of Oslo and Hamar. This is certainly one of the earliest -- if not the earliest -- small-town uses of any of the three 1930 Nordkap stamps that I have had in 52 years. An outstanding item of exceptional quality and rarity! ACTUAL item. |
