Sweden. Postal stationery Single postcard 6 öre with inverted frame sent from FALKÖPING 16.8.1874 for LOCAL RATE to Seltorp, Stenstorp (outside Falköping). Apparently the sender knew that the addressee caught his mail in a private mailbag at the post office in Falköping, which explains the local rate. Two tiny holes after staple (?) and some scraping on the address of less importance. One of the scarcest standard inland postages within Swedish philately. The rate was valid 1.1.1873–31.12.1876 – the only period during wich a special local pc rate existed in Sweden. Only six recorded usages according to Ferdén, of which this card is UNIQUE in its handling. An important SHOW PIECE. Ex. Stavenow. Ex. Daun. Show less
