Scott #168 Type I [1925 15 öre Gustaf Left Profile, Type I, Coil] on 18 April 1926 QSL ham radio reception post card from Stockholm to England. The stamp is VF centered, but the stamp and the card are significantly aged. That being said, this is by decades the oldest Swedish QSL card that I have encountered -- I know that QSL cards are not my specialty, but this must be somewhat unusual in that time period if I have not seen one this early in 52 years!

Scott #297 single, 297/297a CB PAIR, 184 White Paper, 287 [1939 10 öre Berzelius (chemist); 1929 45 öre Gustav V Left Profile (1935-1938 White Paper), 1939 1.20 kr Three Crowns] (VF) on 16 April 1940 airmail 15 gram cover from "STOCKHOLM 5 / A" to the U.S., via airmail. The fact that, once this reached the U.S., this was carried by air all the way across the country (and the original Swedish postage paid for that) is particularly unusual in this time period. The reverse bears an untied Civil Defense label (On Guard For Sweden) and also shows envelope damage from something being removed from the reverse or the envelope damaged during opening. Though the routing is not clearly indicated, this cover likely transited England, but does not show signs of censorship. England was already at war with Germany, but at this time, England did not usually censor mail between two non-combatant countries. Correct 195 öre franking: 30 öre surface rate per 20 grams, plus 3x 55 öre per 5 grams airmail surcharge. The #297/297a Used VF CB pair is quite scarce and sells for $285 OFF-cover. On cover, the CB pair is extremely scarce. This is one of the nicest and scarcest Berzelius covers I have had in 52 years! ACTUAL item. |
