116 Type II, White Paper LINE 4-STRIP [1925 5 öre Lion] (Superb) on very nice 17 July 1937 picture post card (real photo of ocean beach at Tylösand) from TYLÖSAND to HUNGARY. This post office was not started until 1934 and is fairly scarce in this early period. Scarce line pair/strip usage on cover to an unusual destination. |

116 Type II [1925 5 öre green Lion] (VF) on 30 October 1929 printed matter rate double / reply post card with "NORRKÖPING 1 / LBR" machine cancellation. Forwarded. The reply card is unused, but has Scott #119 Type I affixed (undoubtedly by the original sender) to pay the return postage at the regular post card rate (the respondent was to write text, thus the reply would not qualify for the printed matter rate). The card is a solicitation by a children charity and is an early example of such mail; it could also fit into a charity seal collection. While postal stationery double / reply cards are quite common, this is the first Swedish example I can recall seeing (in 44 years) of non-stationery with reply postage affixed. Very scarce! |

Express label #3:2 (rouletted) per Facit Postal listing. Somewhat worn due to type of commercial use, but this is a nice in-period commercial use of UPU issues; express uses of the UPU stamps are also scarce. |
