Norway: Postal Stationery: Mint Postal Cards 1888-1925

Oslo Filatelistklubb (OFK) 1996-97 catalog numbers have been used unless otherwise indicated. This catalog is in stock and available from me.

A "POST" watermark was used from approximately 1936 to 1964 and can theoretically appear in up to eight positions. Certainly some positions are much scarcer than others -- and I list the differences -- however, my prices are the same for all positions. Unlike stamps, the postal stationery watermark positions are defined as viewed from the front of the item. See this illustration (on website).

Quality is VF unless otherwise indicated. In the case of postal stationery, the quality (VF, F-VF, Fine) refers to the quality of the card itself, not postmarks, etc. A "F-VF" might have slightly soiling or aging. A "Fine" item may have a crease or filing hole, etc.

All items are available for viewing on approval. I have a large stock of mint and used postal stationery of all types and from all time periods. What are you seeking?

Essay for Postal Card: 1914 5 kr (!!) Eidsvold / Parliament Postal Card essay submitted to the post office for consideration by the Kristiania Philatelic Society. Due to the extremely high (for the time) face value, this seems to be a very odd essay for a postal card. Perhaps the idea was that a more reasonable postage value would be used on an issued card. Seemingly using the Wergeland painting (which was used for the issued stamps), the design is reminiscent of the issued stamp design, but larger, the small text at top vs bottom reversed, etc. 5 kr denomination (which is many multiples of any postal card rate) in dark blue, measuring 140 x 90 mm, with text "CARTE POSTALE / BREVKORT". This is the only example of such an item that I have had (I know of another one in a private collection) in 42 years. From the Norman Gary collection.

ACTUAL item.
