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.

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.

1941 Sancta Birgitta / St. Bridget Test Stamp: Defaced "mother die" showing complete design as issued except the denomination area is a white square and a large X has been engraved over the center of the stamp. I have only recorded in the brown issued stamp color and only on booklet stamps. Believed to have been used as a test stamp to perfect the production techniques for this new stamp size/format. Extremely scarce and seldom offered. NH Superb bottom margin single. Perfect!
