H2 [1939 M-30 Lions] Complete Set of 5 booklet panes, with cover and interleaves. The panes have mountings (I = Inverted, R = Regular/Upright; x = Perforated Margin, y = Imperforate Margin): Rx, Iy, Ix, Iy, Iy. As is usually the case, the panes are attached by their selvage/margin to the interleaves and cover (the stamps are not attached and are NH). The cover is a "rare" version without an edition number on the backside. (The covers almost always have an edition number, one of 1, 3, 7, 10, or 11. They are only rarely found without an edition number). It has been many years since I have had an example, of a complete booklet or a set of panes with cover, without the edition number!

"Fredrika Runeberg 1807 - 1879" essay (proposed, but unaccepted, stamp design) prepared ca.1947. [Runeberg was a Finnish author, novelist, and one of the first female journalists in Finland. Wikipedia states Runeberg was the "first Finnish author to critically analyze the status of women, at home and in the society."] Brownish Red, engraved, on perforated, gummed stamp paper. Known to have been printed in sheets of 100. Exact date of "issue" not known to me, but this essay is very similar in style and printing to the issues of 1947-1952. I strongly suspect that this essay was printed by the Finnish stamp printer of the time. This subject and design was not accepted. NH VF single stamp.

1948 German Olympic fundraising and promotional label for German participation in the 1952 HELSINKI, FINLAND OLYMPICS. Dark green on white paper.

No-gum (and damaged) examples are fairly easy to find, but NH examples seem to be hard to find. The lowest cost NH example I have recently seen offered was $14. NH VF Single.

Advertising Label: Pre-WWI issued by F.Ĺ.A. [Finska Ĺngfartygs Aktiebolaget -- Finnish Steamship (Stock) Company]. Very attractive multi-colored life-saving-ring design -- including "gold" -- and listing the various steamship routes and names of ships operated by the company. This company surely carried a lot of mail -- it would be interesting to display this label with a piece of mail carried by this company. Rarely offered. All the examples I have ever seen had the same rough perforation. NEVER HINGED with VF centering.

1961 Europa (1960) Souvenir Card (looks more like a souvenir sheet). This souvenir card/sheet was distributed by Thomas De La Rue stamp printers at Stampex 1961 stamp show and pictures four proposed, unadopted designs (i.e. essays) for the 1960 Europa issue, along with an image of the approved design (lower right) in single-color gray (not one of the colors of the two issued bi-color stamps, thus making this design an essay as well). Designer names are in small text in the bottom margin of each stamp image. The approved design, by a Finnish designer, was used for all the Europa countries in 1960. Though it is gummed, this item was not valid for postage (the approved design has a thin white line through the denomination). The backside bears additional text and a serial number (different number on each). There was a time when these were regularly seen, but they are now only occasionally found. NH VF, perfect condition.

B31-3 [1938 Skiing Competition semi-postal] VF registered FDC to Sweden. Crease between the stamps; not affecting the stamps and not obvious. The Swedes often did not backstamp registered mail such as this, but the violet "Aviserad" postal stamps on the front indicates that the local Swedish post office notified the recipient that they had mail to pick up; the marking is actually very scarce. Nice round stamp dealer advertising label on reverse. I have only had a few examples of this scarce FDC in 43 years.

213 [1937 2 mark Gustaf Mannerheim 70th birthday] with 4 June 1937 HANGÖ / HANKO cancellation, which is the first day of issue of this stamp. Black frame and text "1867-1937". Full paper size 95 x 114 mm. Some of the references that I have seen state that cancellation date on these cards were backdated (but it was made in the late 1930s or early 1940s). To my knowledge, it is the earliest Finnish souvenir card type item.

1999 Finnish Roads officially issued combination postal cards / maximum cards set of four. Maximum card official #42-45. The maximum (picture) card side exists with either perforation 14 stamps or the very scarce perforation 12.75 stamps. The perforation 12.75 stamps were "accidentally" created by the stamp printer who was also the manufacturer of the first day covers, maximum cards, and other such philatelic products; they were not specified by the postal authorities -- the decision was made by the stamp printer. Because the vast majority of the perforation 12.75 stamps were used on canceled philatelic products, and were not generally sold in mint condition, they are very rare in mint. [The Scott catalog value for mint (or used) perforation 12.75 stamps is impossibly low; the 2012 Facit value is SEK 2400 (US$340) for mint set or pane or for a canceled complete pane -- even so, they are "impossible" to obtain.] To the best of my knowledge, virtually all the canceled single perforation 12.75 stamps come from FDCs or maximum cards -- supplies of those are extremely limited. When the maximum card sets were made, the set components were handled randomly, with the result that most sets seem to contain a MIX of perf 14 and perf 12.75 stamps. This MINT POSTAL CARD SET bears the perforation 12.75 Scott #1104a-1170b COMPLETE SET of single canceled stamps on the maximum card side. This is "rare" as a complete set.
