Scott #22 [1872 12 öre Ringtype, Perf 14] Used with Average centering. With a XF cancellation well centered on the stamp, just slightly tilted, EKSHÄRAD 14 November 1876 cancellation. This is a scarcer cancellation. This post office had only recently opened on 1 January 1875. This town name spelling is only one of five Swedish post offices to ever start with EKS. Though the centering of the stamp could certainly be better, it is a wonderful example of this scarcer town cancellation! ACTUAL item. |

Scott #22 [1872 12 öre blue Ringtype, Perforation 14] (VF) on 18 November 1876 folded cover with contents, from FILIPSTAD to Uddevalla. The contents are a business or products or shipments report; I have seen the same type of reports from other towns sent to the same addressee. A very attractive cover in fresh condition. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #22 [1872 12 öre blue Ringtype, Perforation 14] (VF) on 19 July 1872 cover FRONT-ONLY from HERNÖSAND (nowadays Härnösand) to Sollefteå. USED ON THE 19th DAY OF ISSUE! Determining the colors of this 12 öre issue is quite challenging. Even such an early use could still be one of 5-6 colors (by date), but based on the color renderings in the Nordisk Filateli color standard plates, this color this early, that is this dark, is either #d or #e (that is ca.1980 and assuming that Facit did not change their lettering, that is Facit #21e or #21e). While this color is not "scarce", it is "scarcer" than many of the colors of this stamp -- and examples canceled this early after issue are very seldom offered. A wonderful early-use example of this stamp, in a scarcer color. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #22 [1872 12 öre blue Ringtype, Perforation 14] (Average) on a 24 February 1877 folded cover with contents, from HÖGSÄTERSBY to Uddevalla. This post office was established 1 January 1876, thus this is a fairly early use -- and a very nice one at that. The postmark is "somewhat scarce" regardless of the date. The contents are a business or products or shipments report; I have seen the same type of reports from other towns sent to the same addressee. A very attractive cover in fresh condition. ACTUAL item. |

22 [1872 12 öre Ringtype, Perf 14] Used with F-VF+ centering and a neat, crisp, almost complete, KUNGSBACKA 24 October 1875 cancellation. The stamp has a somewhat unusual grainy, blurry print. While the cancellation itself is not scarce, having such a nicely dated example on a stamp with unusual printing appearance can help to determine which printing the stamp is from. Very attractive! ACTUAL item. |

Scott #22 [1872 12 öre blue Ringtype, Perforation 14] (Fine+) on 15 [probably July, based on contents] 1877 folded cover with contents, from WÄSE (nowadays Väse) to Uddevalla. The contents are a business or products or shipments report; I have seen the same type of reports from other towns sent to the same addressee. Despite an 1877 population in the range of 3000-3500 (per Google AI based on local records), I can only recall having, at the most, 3-5 examples of this cancellation on single stamps (but none on cover) in the last 53 years. ACTUAL item. |
