1976 "HAFNIA 76" Czeslaw SLANIA "signing card" souvenir card. The outside of the folded card bears only, on the front, the "HAFNIA 76 / DANMARK" stamp show logo. The left inside panel has a picture of Slania engraving the 1976 Postal Horses souvenir sheet of the design related to this item; SLANIA HAS HAND-SIGNED BELOW THE PICTURE. The right inside panel has placement marks indicating that the aforementioned souvenir sheet was expected to be affixed. Instead, the single regular sheet stamp of same issue [Scott #590] has been affixed and canceled with the daily show cancellation for 27 August 1976, picturing a butterfly (relating to topical stamp collecting). This is the only example of this item (in any form) that I have seen in 50 years. While it was surely obtained by many collectors who observed Slania doing demonstrations at the stamp show, if I have not previously seen another example -- and I have purchased extensive collections of Hafnia 76 souvenirs -- it must be "fairly scarce". |
