Scott #167 LINE PAIR [1922 15 öre violet Gustaf V, Coil (I cannot determine if this example may be much scarcer with either a wavy-line and/or KPV watermark.)] (F-VF) on neat and attractive 1 November 1924 cover, including a personal letter, with "HÄLSINGBORG 1 / * LBR *" machine cancellation, to Providence, Rhode Island, U.S. Includes the original personal letter. "LBR" is an abbreviation of lådbrev -- a letter mailed in a letter box. This fact was indicated in the postmark so that the post office could deny responsibility for any delay if the contents was dated sometime prior to the date of the cancellation. Used, off-cover examples of this line pair are "somewhat uncommon", as is true at a minimum, of almost all Used Swedish line pairs. However, on-cover line pair examples of the 15 öre denomination are scarce because the most common 30 öre rates were for 2nd weight domestic letters (which tended to be larger envelopes and thus not saved) or 1st weight letters to countries beyond Scandinavia (which were thus spread around the world and not common in Sweden). Other uses were much more unusual and were usually part of a larger postage amount. ACTUAL item. |
