Incoming ship letter from LEITH, franked with a British 2 1/2 penny stamp first cancelled in transit in AKUREYRI before being forwarded to Laxárdalur near Húsavík. RARE ITEM.
Unusual ship mail cover sent to the FAROE ISLANDS in 1939, presumably mailed at portside in Reykjavik (from a Reykjavik merchant). The relatively unusual franking of a single 20 aur NYWF cancelled with a THORSHAVN Klipfisk slogan CDS with the boxed "Paquebot" ship letter handstamp from Thorshavn alongside. The cover slightly reduced at left.
