Scott #57 [1903 8 öre Engraved Oscar] Used F-VF. "MARSTRAND / Lbr" (mailed in a letterbox) 10 August 1910 cancel, VF. The cancellation was too large to fit on a single stamp; this is about as nicely centered and as complete (on a single stamp) as they can get. Letters mailed in letter boxes often received the "Lbr" cancellations so that the post office could deny responsibility if the delivery time was longer than normal for a letter mailed at a post office. ACTUAL item. |

60 Type I, Facit #56I [1891 20 öre Oscar watermarked; no horizontal engraving lines behind ear] Used with Superb centering and a F-VF 22 September 1891 HÖÖR (changed to HÖR in 1911) pre-November cancel that confirms that this must be a Type I. The Ultramarine color is distinct, but exists for both types -- Type I does NOT have horizontal shading lines on the back of the head behind the ear (Type II does). This stamp is scarce with such nice centering and is rarely seen thus AND with a confirming-date postmark. Certainly scarcer than 1 in 1000 examples. ACTUAL item. |

60 Type I, Facit #56I [1891 20 öre Oscar watermarked; no horizontal engraving lines behind ear] Used with VF centering and an 8 August 1891 pre-November cancel that confirms that this must be a Type I. The Ultramarine color is distinct, but exists for both types -- Type I does NOT have horizontal shading lines on the back of the head behind the ear (Type II does). This stamp is unusual with a clear confirming-date postmark. ACTUAL item. |
