The stamp is very common. Someone else will probably post the Scott or Facit catalog number. It's been a few collections over time and not in the best shape. What I see that might be more interesting is the postmark which looks like some sort of straight-line postmark. Anyone have an idea what kind of postmark that may be?
it's not for shipmail, although the letter has been on a ship.
it's a DANISH cancel indicating that this letter was put in a mailbox onboard the ship or on the harbour and not cancelled until it reached Copenhagen. Fra Sverige M means, From sweden M (Malmö), there are cancels for each of the swedish harbour cities.. like Fra Sverige L (Landskrona).
the cancel does not give a clue as to where the letter is headed, only where it came from.
the stamp in question, has severe defects and an incomplete cancel, meant for the trashbin in my world.. both stamp and cancel are very common and a satisfying replacement would be easy to find.
