Lot no. 6117

1939, 8.12., Caravelle 25ø with additional franking tied by cds. "KØBENHAVN 8.12.39" to COD parcel card to Thorshavn, correctly franked with 385ø. The packet has been returned 18. December 1939  with adjacent straight-line "RETOUR". There is no cancellation from Faroe Islands as it never left Denmark because the British authorities required certificates of origin of the cargo on all packet sent to Faroe Islands with value more than 30 kr. (even if it is an inland packet between two Danish harbours). Very fine and attractive and only one other, similar parcel card recorded
