326, 281 (VF) [1941 120 öre St. Brigitta; 1939 20 öre Gustav Small Numerals] on 25 November 1941 6 gram airmail cover to the U.S. Correctly franked 140 öre: 30 öre surface rate plus 55 öre per 5 grams airmail surcharge. The 120 öre stamp is rare on correctly franked covers / envelopes; the stamp is usually seen on overfranked envelopes or on parcel cards. (There is no known solo usage rate for this stamp. A cover such as this is as close as one can get to a solo usage.) This letter would have likely been carried by the British secret night flights to Scotland; it may have also still been in transit on December 7, 1941 at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack; it is unusual that it does not bear any British censor markings. The cover is missing the back flap, but this is probably the nicest correctly franked on-envelope usage I have had in many, many years. |
