Sweden: Cancellations: By Stamp - 1872 Ringtype Perforation 14 - Other Than 12 Öre

Scott numbers have been used for the stamps unless otherwise indicated. The quality / centering of the stamp is stated separately from the quality / centering of the cancellation. In a postmark / cancellation context, the quality / centering of the cancellation is usually the dominant driver of the value. All these items and many thousands more are available for viewing on approval. Please request approvals; due to lack of time, the vast majority of my Swedish cancellation stock will never make it to the website or price lists.

Swedish cancellations starting with the letter "Å", "Ä" and "Ö" are at the end of the A-Z alphabet. Over time (and particularly as part of a major change in 1900) there have been changes in the spelling of Swedish town names and/or which letters are used for the same purpose. For the purpose of our cancellation listings, the spelling in the cancellation has been used, thus if you are looking for a particular town, look in the appropriate multiple places in the alphabet. As examples... W has changed to V: Varberg and Warberg are the same town, but in different periods of time. F has also sometimes changed to V: V(W)ifstavarf has become Vivstavarv. Q has sometimes changed to K: Qvibille has become Kvibille. [General information on other letter-use changes is welcome.]

Home County (Län) / Province (Landskap) collecting: The 21 Swedish Counties are current administrative units, while the 25 Swedish Provinces are historical, geographical, and cultural designations. The borders of each are sometimes the same, but are often different, with many inclusions, exclusions, and combinations and changes over time. It is too complicated a subject for discussion here. Collecting Swedish postmarks and cancellations is often done at the Province level, so-called "home town collecting". The Facit "Postal" Cancellations and Postal History Catalog (which is available from us) provides a map and a set of abbreviations for each County and Province. Using the abbreviations from the Facit Postal, in some case our descriptions will include the County and Province for a town in square brackets, such as "[F-SM]" (Jönköping County-Län / Småland Province-Landskap). A web page can be searched with "Control+f" or "Command+f". To find the COUNTIES, search using a square bracket, followed the County abbreviation, followed by a dash, such as "[F-". To find PROVINCES, search using a dash, followed by the Province abbreviation, followed by a square bracket, such as "-SM]".

Scott #23 PALE RED, Facit #22d [1872 20 öre red/orange shades Ringtype, Perforation 14] Used with Fine+ centering. A beautiful example of this scarcer color with delicate color, "perfect" perforations, and an XF-Superb SKÖFDE 26 November 1874 cancellation. Facit 2024 indicates that this color was produced in 1873 and 1874, which matches with the date of the cancellation. A very striking example of a color that is seldom offered and which is "remarkably scarce" with such a nice cancellation.

Scott #24 [1872 24 öre Ringtype, Perf 14] Used with VF centering. Based on the color and paper, this could be Facit #24d, e, or f; it needs to be compared with multiple examples of known colors. Based on the yellowish paper color, Facit #24e is a likely possibility (Facit 2024 value SEK 600!!), but I am offering and pricing it as the most common color of #24. This example bears almost complete, though sideways, KUNGSBACKA 17 August 1874 cancellation. Wonderful color, excellent centering, and excellent perforations.

Scott #24, Facit #24d Bright Yellowish Orange on White Paper [1872 24 öre Ringtype, Perf 14] Used with F-VF centering. This color (multiple print runs) was distributed 1872-1877. With an almost perfectly centered, though a little light, TIERP 11 ?? 1874 cancellation; the month is probably September. (The E looks like a D due to extra ink.) Wonderful color and perfect perforations. A handsome example.

Scott #25a Black Brown, Facit #25j [1872 30 öre Ringtype, Perf 14] Used with Fine centering. With a VF cancellation with complete EKSJÖ 2 December 1876 town name and fully readable date. This town name spelling is only one of five Swedish post offices to ever start with EKS. This distinctive color was distributed in 1876-1877 and cannot be confused with any other printing / color of this stamp. The 2024 Facit Classic value is SEK 200, more than double the value of the least costly color.
