I received this letter from Phillip more than a year ago. It was sent from the USA, with the right amount of American postage, plus two Swedish stamps (from a joint issue between the two countries). All the stamps are dedicated to the Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman, and issued in 2015.
And the cancellations are very cool, aren't they?
This is a post for the letter I of Sunday Stamps-II. Today's letter is I.
this is an envelope where i wanted to avoid the nasty biro cancels that seem to be all to common. I want expecting the heavy black cancels to obscure a lot of the stamp detail!
ReplyDeleteToo much ink for my taste, but I still think the cancellations are cool.
DeleteI think it is pretty cool that you could buy the other stamp in a joint issue.
ReplyDeleteI think so. You can't do that in Spain (at least, as far as I know).
DeleteI didn't know that Sweden had issued two different stamps (only seen the engraved one). A truly international envelope,
ReplyDeleteI guess this actress has deserved more stamps...
DeleteAn actress I always admired = so cool to see her on these stamps.
ReplyDeleteAnd the design of the stamps is really good, in my opinion.
