Scott #6, Facit #7d Light Green [1858 5 öre "Vapen" Coat of Arms, 1864-1867 Printing] Used with XF centering and an "almost perfectly" centered 21 June 1870 WENERSBORG cancellation (also with a tiny part of a second cancellation strike). Wonderfully fresh, an excellent-looking example of this color, with excellent centering, and "perfect" perforations. The Facit #7d 2024 listing does not correspond to the Nordisk Filateli color images pages produced ca.1980. There have been some Facit number reassignments since then. This printing / color was only made with the "1855" perforations -- the 1855 perforations are almost always irregular and often have broken / missing perforating pins, but this example has absolutely perfect perforation teeth. This is a "slightly scarcer" color / printing and examples this nice are quite hard to find. An excellent example of this stamp. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #8 Blue, Clear Print, Dense Background [1858 12 öre blue Coat of Arms] Used with F-VF centering. Strong color and excellent "1855 type" perforations. SUPERBLY STRUCK WEXIÖ 1 July 1859 RECTANGULAR / BOXED CANCELLATION DATED EXACTLY ONE YEAR AFTER THE FIRST DAY OF ISSUE OF THIS STAMP DESIGN. This style of cancellation had five types (illustrated in SFF Handbook 23 on rectangular cancellations), four of which are known (per Facit Postal X) used on this stamp, but only Types 1, 3, and 4, are known used as late as 1859. This example appears to be a Type 4, but the type differences are hard to differentiate without examples of all of them for comparison. All the three or four types known on this stamp have fairly similar catalog values in the range of SEK 250-400 per Facit Postal X. However, the catalog values are for more typical looking examples than this incredible, Superb cancellation strike. Complete town name and date; rare completeness and quality -- on a single loose stamp -- for this style of cancellation. A beautiful example! This is certainly one of the best-struck, if not the best-struck, rectangular / boxed style cancellations on this stamp that I have been able to offer in 53 years! The one-year-birthday cancellation is icing on the philatelic cake. 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. |
