      <description><![CDATA[Here's an envelope that was initially addressed to "her", meaning local, and Åkebergveien No 44 as address (located on the hill past Grønland). In a different handwriting Xania is added. The cover is then franked with a 10 øre stamp for the regular domestic letter rate, and postmarked at BÆKKELAGET with their killer-postmark, sporting 4 pairs of syringe pipes to punch holes in the stamp.<br />
<br />
These cancels were an invention of Throndsen, or rather an experiment, as they proved very unpopular many places.<br />
<br />
One possible explanation is that the person was not going into town that day, and decided to mail the letter from Bækkelaget instead. Another would be that the sender arrived there by train in the morning, from downtown, and realized the letter had not been sent yet.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the letter is back in Christiania for the 1PM delivery round of TUR3.]]></description>

      <title>-9-8-1899 TUR 2 FROM BOAT USE</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Cover to Elverum with letter dated Drøbak 8/8 1899, sent from a military engineer stationed there, working on the Oscarsborg fortress it seems. Probably carried by boat (local or the national postal steamer having Drøbak as last port of call before Xania), and brought to Budavdelingen where a TUR has been used instead of the time/date regulars of Budavdelingen. This also fits well with the thought that 11F would serve as a TUR2 cancel -- it didn't really matter. And changing TUR 1  to TUR 2 was more cumbersome than rotating 8F to 11F. This helps explain why so few TUR2 are spotted by us who collect these cancels.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This cancel was used for banco mail only, i e insured letters, registered letters, and money orders.<br />
<br />
This 35 øre would fit perfectly onto a low value money order. I have also seen a 25 øre lion.<br />
<br />
Helge Fritzen has a registered cover to Gera with this cancel.<br />
<br />
Olga Ellis in the early 1990s reported in OFK Info that she had spotted several 3 øre stamps with this cancel, from bundleware. This also fits, because the 3 øre stamp helped fill a common banco rate of 58 øre.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Postcard written in Spanish, sent to a Frau Kapt Korsholm, Flensberg (Flensburg, Germany), dated Entra Horten y Moss, Abril 11/01. In other words, the card appears to have been written on board the ferry between Horten and Moss. This ferry did not have its own postal service, but sometimes even post from Horten is observed with Moss or Bureau Reexp postmarks, so perhaps there was a mail box on board that the crew would empty when in harbor?<br />
<br />
The Captain Korsholm later went on to become one of the more famous Norwegian Whaling captains, based in Chile I believe.]]></description>
