Sweden: Cancellations: Unsorted  
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]".

Lx1, Facit #6a1 [1856 1 skilling Black Local] Used Fine with Superb starburst postmark. Typical centering for the issue, but with nicer than usual perforations (which are normally irregular prior to 1858). Beautifully postmarked example with very nice impression. A hansome example without any defects (due to the very thin paper, most examples are defective). Facit 2014 SEK 7500 = $1200 for typical example.

Denmark Scott #35 [1882 5 øre Arms with Small Corner Numerals, Perf 14 x 13.5] Used with F-VF+ centering and neat SWEDISH RAILWAY cancellation (likely resulting from Danish-Swedish railway-ferry traffic), but with tiny thin spot. Very attractive example, with great dark yellow-green color, clearly showing the features of this Small Corner Numerals stamp (including the gap between the oval and top and bottom frame lines). A scarcer stamp that would otherwise be $100 with this centering, with a normal cancellation. An unusual example!
