Postal Savings 1950s Promotional Stamps: Sheet of Series 1-3. NH VF complete sheet of 30 containing three series. Series 1: Swedish Historical People. Series 2: Ten Sports. Series 3: (Transportation) From Horse-Drawn Coach to Electric Trains. The "printer imprint" at bottom states that it is printed by the Swedish Postal Printers, but does not indicate a print date. Almost all the stamps of each of the three series would be of great interest to topical / thematic collectors of many different subjects. The perforating / centering appears to have used the upper left stamp as the "starting point" with XF or Superb, centering, but due to small spacing differences in the printing plate vs the perforation tool, the centering becomes progressively less good toward the lower-right corner of the sheet. This is simply a natural feature of how these stamps were produced. These stamps are rarely seen -- if I had not previously seen a sheet in 51 years (and I am on the lookout for such interesting things), they must be very scarce indeed! I have never noticed any other dealers (even in Sweden) offering them for sale. Because of the tremendous topical / thematic aspect of so many of the designs in Series 1-3, the value is perhaps much higher than some other design subjects.

Postal Savings 1950s Promotional Stamps: Sheet of Series 22-24. NH VF complete sheet of 30 containing three series. Series 22: Ten Anniversary Days. Series 2: Swedish Historical Buildings. Series 3: Postage Stamps with Historical Motifs. The "printer imprint" at bottom states that it is printed by the Swedish Postal Printers provides a 1953 print date. Many of the stamps of each of the three series would be of great interest to topical / thematic collectors of many different subjects.

1921 LULEÅ 1621-1921 JUBILEUMS UTSTÄLLNING 2-24 July (1921 Luleå Jubilee Exhibition) "Poster Stamp" TIED BY POSTMARK on 7 June 1921 5 öre postal stationery card [Facit #22: 1922-03-17 10 öre green Gustav V in Round Frame "BREVKORT", no print date] from "GÖTEBORG / * - L" to Tyringe. The label has been correctly used in the days prior to the exhibition to promote attendance. Excellent quality in all respects. This label is remarkably scarce; this is the first example, on or off cover, that I have been able to offer in 51 years! The design of the label is a harbor scene showing large cargo ships and is extremely unusual in that it shows a massive, tall bulk cargo loading structure of a type which was quite unusual with only a few such having been built in the world. Because of the very scarce label tied by postmark, this is a very special item of rarity much greater than its modest appearance suggests.

1916 PRISONER OF WAR DOUBLE POSTAL CARD: 2 October 1916 message half only of double postal card, as typically found. LISTED BY FACIT in a section following official postal stationery; this is considered to be a form of postal stationery with a POW endorsement (see box at upper right). This card type was used 1915-1918, sent to the POW in Minsk, Russia, confirming that 16 Rubles has been transferred by Deutsche Bank from Stockholm in NEUTRAL SWEDEN to the account of the POW in Russian captivity. Has a very clear, violet Russian handstamp on the front. Examples are known with the mailing and reply half still attached, but are extremely scarce. This type does not have a control number in a lower corner; as with normal postal cards of this era, other types exist with a control number. Such postal stationery cards are seldom seen on the market; I have only been able to offer two or three other examples in the last 51 years.

293-8 [1939 Royal Academy of Sciences (Berzelius, chemist; Linne, botanist)] The complete coil and perf-4-side sheet stamp set on a very attractive 2 June 1939 FIRST DAY COVER, registered, used to the U.S., with the correct special STOCKHOLM official first day postmark. Though this set on first day cover is not "scarce", they have gotten hard to find and this example is particularly neat and attractive. The two stamp designs are very much sought out by many different types of topical collectors.

International Reply Coupon (IRC): SFF Catalog 1988-89 #9a. 85 öre, 1929 Type C (London UPU Congress 1929). "SUEDE - SVERIGE" printed in blue and denomination "85 ÖRE" printed in blue. Even though this is the "1929 type", this type/denomination was being sold 1 July 1965 (and onward until sold out in each post office) until replaced in January 1966 with the new Type D style. This example was sold and postmarked on left side at "GÖTEBORG 32 / A" 31 March 1967. This is in "Mint" (NH) Postmarked VF condition and was never redeemed for stamps to mail a letter. (If it had been redeemed to mail a letter -- thus "Used" -- there would be another postmark, on the right side.) Swedish examples of the 1929 Type are remarkably hard to find; according to the SFF listings, this is the last denomination to use the "London" Type C!

International Reply Coupon (IRC): SFF Catalog 1988-89 #9b. 85 öre Watermark II (single large "UPU"), 1964 Type D (Vienna UPU Congress 1964). "SUEDE - SVERIGE" printed in red and denomination "85 ÖRE" printed in blue. This type / watermark / denomination was sold from January 1966 until the denomination was increased (to 1.05) on 1 July 1971 still in the Type D style. This example was sold and postmarked on top at the small village of "BJÄRRED / A" 9 May 1969. This is in "Mint" (NH) Postmarked VF condition (tiny wear at top) and was never redeemed for stamps to mail a letter. (If it had been redeemed to mail a letter -- thus "Used" -- there would be another postmark, on the right side.) Though "modern", these Swedish IRCs are quite hard to find. Even if you think you have this one, double check the watermark; this has a single large UPU; whereas Watermark III has many repeated small UPU.

"PS" Internal Post Office Postal Stationery: Large 322 x 228 mm card-stock envelope. White card-stock with all-over bright blue printing (text and images in reverse, white). "PS" [and crown] indicia in upper right. "Postpost" vertically at right, with return address of "Poststyrelsens PR-Avdelning 10500 Stockholm" (the post office public relations department). This dates from 1972 or before. There are no postal markings, but it was used in May 1972, sent to a person in Sweden who was one of the winners of the 1971 Most Beautiful Stamp contest. Has the expected bends and spots from going through the mail, and a tape closure mark on the backside -- it is in remarkably nice quality for this type of large item. This category of item is considered to be postal stationery, but very few such items have actually been systematically cataloged. (A few items from the 1920s-1960s are listed in the Facit SVERIGE 2023, but that hardly scratches the surface of what exists.) Because these items did not bear stamps nor does the indicia look like traditional postal stationery, the vast majority (probably 99.9%) of examples were discarded. While extant examples may not have a lot of financial value, most are likely "quite scarce" or even "rare". Collecting such postal stationery (from any country) can be an inexpensive and fun challenge. It would be great if collectors could gather and develop an online census of the Swedish "PS" items that are known to exist. [Because of the size and the low price, shipping / handling is additional.] Shipping cost is additional for this item.

Kumla #1-2 [1945 4 and 8 öre] (VF) on 16 April 1945 unaddressed first day cover bearing both round and oval style cancellations, one on each of the two stamps. This is also the first day of the local post operation. The dual canceling of this FDC is quite unusual in philately: One stamp was applied and canceled with the oval cancellation, then the decision was made to add the other stamp and cancel it, but using the round cancellation (thus sometimes the second stamp is slightly on top of the first/oval cancellation!). Mix of "B" and/or "D" straight edges (side and/or corner positions). Postally used singles of these two stamps sell for around $30 PER STAMP! Despite the modest value of the FDC, examples are seldom offered!

International Reply Coupon (IRC): SFF Catalog 1988-89 #11a. 1964 Type (Wien / Vienna UPU Congress 1964). "SUEDE - SVERIGE" printed in red and denomination "1,25 Skr" printed in blue. This type/denomination in use 1 July 1972 until replaced in 1975 with a new type, but same denomination. There were two sub-types of this design/denomination: This is sub-type "a" with Watermark III (small, many-repeated "UPU") and German text on back includes "...der Taxe...". [Sub-type "b" has watermark II (a single large double-lined "UPU") and the German text on back instead includes "der Gebühr...".] This example is completely uncanceled. While most selling countries did apply their postmark in the top or left position, the UPU did not require that the selling post office apply a postmark. Almost all Swedish IRCs that I have seen did bear a Swedish postmark. This is in 100% Mint (NH) VF condition and was never redeemed for stamps to mail a letter. Though from the "modern era", this is quite unusual without a Swedish postmark.

Isö label (bogus stamp): 1974 400 "WORLD CUP - MUNICH 1974" bearing a "cancellation" dated 05.7.74. Imperforate with large margins; overall size 89 x 56 mm. Ungummed. I do not know if this was supposed to be an imperforate small souvenir sheet or an imperforate large "stamp". I do not know if this exists with perforations or if it exists without the printed "cancellation". [In 49 years, I have not previously seen this item, nor have I found an image of it on the Internet.]

Scott #1 Private Reprint souvenir sheet for the "Salon der Philatelie / zum XIX. Weltpostkongress / Hamburg 1984" stamp show. Perforated reproduction of the first Swedish stamp in green on a stamp-size cream-colored background, on white paper with a strong wavy-line watermark. All-over light gray diagonal text backprint on reverse. Overall souvenir sheet dimensions 60 x 80 mm. Appears to have been issued or at least partially distributed with the souvenir sheet in a stamp mount on a while card stock page measuring 185 mm x 210 mm, perhaps was one of a series. The text on the page includes the reproduction of manuscript "Pour la Suéde" and reproduction signature of Adolf Wilhelm Roos, Swedish Postmaster General 1867-1889 (who is pictured on Sweden Scott #259). [As of June 2022, I have only seen two examples of this small souvenir sheet, only one of which was on the full page. More information about this item is welcomed.] Example of the souvenir sheet on the full page.

Sweden / Åland: An unusual form of Swedish "postal stationery" (listed by Facit under Swedish military postal stationery), a coupon used to obtain stamps for the Swedish soldiers stationed in Åland in 1918 -- only used for Swedish soldiers in Åland. There are two types listed by Facit. This is Type A, used to obtain official mail stamps. (Type B was used to obtain official mail postal stationery envelopes; extremely rare, Facit indicates one example known.) Mint VF in perfect condition. The only time I have been able to obtain any of these was a small group of 6-8 examples that I found in an old dealer stock in Sweden in 1995; I have not seen any before or since. Twenty-five years later I just found the group again, misplaced in our stock. [Includes a photocopy of listing from Facit Catalog.]

2, 1868 Official Reprint. [1855 4 skilling banco blue Coat of Arms] Mint F-VF centered example, but gum that is either disturbed (probably) or regummed. These are typically found without gum. Lower left corner perforation tooth rounded and two very slightly shorter perforation teeth. This is Type "g" (of the nine types of the 4 sk reprints). There were two reprintings in 1868; they differ only very slightly in appearance and are hard to separate. Between the two printings, a total of 1885 reprints were printed, of those only 209 were Type "g". Assuming the more common of the two 1868 reprintings, the Facit 2020 value is SEK 4000! Very attractive and fresh looking.

"SVENSKA UNDERBEFÄLETS RIKSFÖRBUND" (Swedish Military Officers Royal Society) and "FÖR VETANDE OCH UPPLYSNING" (for knowledge and understanding). This society seems to be for the training and education of mid-level military officers. I believe this to be a charity seal, perhaps purchased by the membership, but it could also be a label. Yellow frame and some parts of the design, blue center design and text. Yellowish-white paper. Pictures allegorical "lady of knowledge" giving knowledge understanding to a young officer. Tiny "249 in bottom margin; perhaps the 249th design of the printer. Mint F-VF. In 46 years, I have not previously seen an example of this seal and I have not been able to find any reference to it. Based on the appearance, I believe it dates from around 1910. This is the only example I have recorded having in 46 years.

Scott #Lx1 / Lx2, Facit #6 / 13 [1856/1862 "LOKALBREF" non-denominated 1 skilling / 3 öre] 1930 Officially authorized reprint / blackprint "proof impression" in black. Mentioned in the Facit catalog, but not formally listed. Full-sheet impressions were made to create reference material that philatelists could use to study the cliche varieties and positions. They are not "proofs" as such, but they are very similar, made from the actual plate, and were officially authorized. Black on thick yellowish card stock, imperforate. SINGLE.

Royal Air Defense Society ("Riks Luftskydds Förbundet") 10 öre in red, blue, and black. Soldier holding shield against formation of airplanes. Denomination and text in white. Small format, design 17 x 22 mm. Perforation 11. NH VF SHEET OF 50 (10 columns x 5 rows). Has irrelevant small ink stain on lower right corner of selvage; otherwise perfect quality. In 38 years I can only recall seeing one or two mint with-gum singles of this label, perhaps 5-10 no-gum singles, and one or two canceled singles. I do not recall ever seeing an example on cover (untied or tied). If I had a NH VF single of this label, I would price it at $5, making the break-up value of this sheet $250! And I certainly have never seen anything as stunning as this sheet! An important Swedish WWII-era artifact that helps illustrate one of the reasons why the Germans bypassed Sweden.

1943 NH VF single "HJÄLP NORDENS BARN" (Help Nordic Children) WWII-era charity seal, officially issued, with the royal monogram, by the government telegraph department promoting the use of telegraph form Lx85. The fee for that telegraph form (which could be specified by the sender of the telegram) included a small amount of money that was directed to this charitable purpose. This officially issued charity seal is thus somewhat similar to semi-postal stamps. This seal is seldom offered, especially in such nice quality. [Beautifully illustrated telegraph forms are also in stock and available on approval.]
