Very Unusual Postal Cancellation

Hello everyone,

I'm reaching out to the community because I've found what appears to be a very unusual postal cancellation or marking, and after searching the internet extensively, I haven't found a single matching example.

The stamp shows a portrait that resembles King Haakon VII (Norway), and it has a bold handstamp in black ink that says:

MOT SULT

This is a part of a slogan machine cancel. The words "Mot sult" means "Against starvation" and the cancel was probably used 1963 in connection with the international campaign agianst hunger. The king is Olav V.

And the ebay listing for it at $5,000 + $60 shipping

I wonder if the original poster (OP) is the ebay seller as well? Why else would a new member post such an "unusual" and obviously overpriced item without mentioned he found it on ebay?

Since he is in Sweden, I wonder how he is going to ship it by USPS Priority Express Mail?

No sales yet, either; makes you wonder why?

ebay listing already denoting "charity overprint' on information given here (SCF)

I vote we cancel this user account.
This is obviously not a collector, and he doesn't even understand our replies when we were trying to help.

He obviously does not know or care about the difference between a "machine cancel" and an overprint.

Do we need this ?

Let's realize that some new users are curious and willing to work with this community. Other new users try to use this community to reinforce their assumptions about some stamps. A very small percentage of those try to make a profit by offering their obvious normal, low value stamps for sale at ridiculous prices. Let's see where the OP fits in with future posts by them.

I locked him. He sent a barrage of notes to the Staff, trying to defend himself, I guess.
