Key Fact
Description
A vintage Swedish postage stamp featuring the text 'Sverige' and the denomination '5 Ore'. The stamp is primarily red with white lettering and numerals. A decorative scroll design is present to the right of the numeral '5'. The stamp appears to be in good condition, with clearly defined perforations along its edges. It is a classic example of early 20th-century Scandinavian philately.
History
This stamp originates from Sweden and was issued in 1912. It belongs to a series of definitive stamps that were in circulation during the early part of the 20th century. Stamps from this era often reflect the prevailing design aesthetics and postal needs of the time, serving as a tangible link to Sweden's history and its postal service development. The 'K.E.F. del' inscription may refer to the designer or engraver.
Facts
The 'ore' is a subunit of currency in Sweden, with 100 ore making up one Swedish krona. Stamps with such denominations were commonly used for domestic mail services. The perforation type, indicated as 13, refers to the number of perforation holes per two centimeters along the edge, a key characteristic for stamp identification and cataloging. This particular design is a standard issue, representing the everyday postal needs of the country.
Value Fact
As a common definitive stamp from Sweden, its market value typically ranges from a few cents to a dollar, depending on its condition, centering, and any potential rarity factors not immediately apparent. Well-preserved examples with full gum or clear cancellations can command slightly higher prices. Collectors often seek these for completing sets or for their historical significance rather than for speculative investment.
