Lot 6557

Lot with two letters, both with notation "Snällpost". This fast mail conveyance was suggested in 1827 and soon after began running between Stockholm and Ystad during the sailing season. A similar fast mail service was introduced in 1830 between Stockholm and the Norwegian border. The first letter is sent from Stockholm 3.10.1839 to Norway, the second from Sundsvall 11.8.1848 to Hamburg (opened up for display).
