The listing, 1872 20 öre Stamp from Sweden-- OLD! has ended.
Here's another very OLD stamp from Sweden-- it is Scott no. 23, a 20 öre pale red from 1872. It is in used condition, nice clean stamp with no faults that I can see-- very nice for such an old item. It's a pretty good stamp, too, listing in Scott's for $7.00 catalogue value. Or it might even be the "dull orange yellow" from 1875, with a value of $35.00!!
Please check out my other old stamps!
Here's the bigger scoop: My mom and stepdad both passed away over the past couple of years, and I've been going through some of their old stuff-- they were both dedicated "savers" of everything. In some ways, I guess they were borderline "hoarders." My stepdad collected stamps, and this is from his collection-- although it's more like a giant pile of messy album pages and envelopes.
I think people should have fun bidding on stuff-- that's what auctions are all about! So the starting bids for my stuff will always be is FIVE credits, and we go from there, no matter HOW valuable something might be.
