322a/322 (Facit #332CB) [1941 5 kr blue Stockholm Palace, pair with straight-edge on right side only] CB 4-BLOCK, Used with Superb centering and ESKILTUNA cancellations. Correct greenish-blue color of the early printings. This example came off packages of ball bearings sent by airmail in 1941-1942 from Sweden to the Ford Motor Company in the U.S., for military production -- would have to have been sent on the dangerous secret night flights from Stockholm to Scotland and then onward by clipper flying boats to the U.S. [see the book Blockade Runners]. One of the key BC/CB pair issues -- such nice centering is quite scarce! Attractive and completely sound in all respects. Blocks of this BC/CB issue are scarce because most of the heavy packages they were on (or on parcel cards) received very rough treatment. Priced at only the value of two Superb pairs.

Correct greenish-blue color of the early printings. This example came off packages of ball bearings sent by airmail in 1941-1942 from Sweden to the Ford Motor Company in the U.S., for military production -- would have to have been sent on the dangerous secret night flights from Stockholm to Scotland and then onward by clipper flying boats to the U.S. [see the book Blockade Runners].

322a/322 (Facit #332CB) [1941 5 kr blue Stockholm Palace, pair with straight-edge on right side only] CB 10-BLOCK (THE COMPLETE BOOKLET PANE, w/o selvage), Used with VF/XF centering and ESKILTUNA cancellations, but with bends and a couple shorter perforations. Correct greenish-blue color of the early printings. This example came off packages of ball bearings sent by airmail in 1941-1942 from Sweden to the Ford Motor Company in the U.S., for military production -- would have to have been sent on the dangerous secret night flights from Stockholm to Scotland and then onward by clipper flying boats to the U.S. [see the book Blockade Runners]. One of the key BC/CB pair issues -- such nice centering is quite scarce! Attractive and completely sound in all respects. Such large blocks of this BC/CB issue are extremely scarce because most of the heavy packages they were on (or on parcel cards) received very rough treatment. While it may not be obvious, stamps like these helped win WWII.

397 FLUORESCENT, Facit #300v1 [1968 Fluorescent Printing of the 1948 1.40 kr dark green 3-Crowns] Used Superb with fully dated 14 February 1969 light cancellation. An unannounced (accidental?) 1968 printing on bright yellow fluorescent (under long-wave UV light) paper. This variety (and also some faintly fluorescent varieties of other stamps) was accidentally discovered around 1978 by a staff member of the Rolf Gummesson stamp dealer firm who was checking some other stamps under UV light and noticed these. In 1968-1969 this denomination was needed for foreign postal money orders (thus the stamps were spread widely on items sent outside of Sweden -- and the destination post offices tended to keep such forms as the receipt for making the payment -- which helps to explain the rarity of used examples). The supply of mint stamps was long exhausted before this variety was discovered; only by chance might a collector have obtained a mint example (of a 20 year old stamp design) from the post office in 1968. Rare in mint and quite hard to find used, especially undamaged and with nice centering. This is a top quality example in the 99th percentile.
