13 Type II, Facit #14Bh [1863 3 öre Lion, Type II] Used VF with very nice "coffee" brown color (1872-73 printing) and excellent perforations. Well centered STOCKHOLM 4 TUR local delivery (fourth delivery of the day!) 18 February cancellation. (This type of TUR cancel did not have a year date, but this stamp was most likely used in 1872 or 1873 based on the color. Excellent quality; higher TUR numbers are scarcer.

13 Type II, Facit #14B [1863 3 öre Lion] Used F-VF with neat cancellation. Unusual plate variety: "several breaks / white spots in top frame line, near left corner and above RIG". I have not previously seen this obvious variety or any report of it. I suspect that the cliche was quickly repaired, thus making this variety quite scarce.

14 [1866 17 öre Lion, Red Violet] Used F-VF with unusually light cancellation. Has the so-called 1855 perforations, a now-worn-out perforator with distinctively irregular teeth. (This stamp also exists from the more uniform "1865" perforator.) A very nice looking example with strong color and very neat appearance. Facit 2018 value SEK 1300 = approx US$170.
