Holsteinsborg is the name of a Danish settlement in Greenland.
Most settlements used postmarks similar to this. Before 1936 it was spelled Holstensborg (without the i). (You can see a page of postmarks from my collection at http://www.jaypex.com/Denmark/Gpp8.htm, or the whole collection at http://www.jaypex.com/Denmark/denmark3.html.) These postmarks are listed in the GF1 catalog by Wowern. Unfortunately, yours is listed as one used exclusivly on cancelled-to-order stamps created after they were no longer valid. Your stamp should be marked to that effect on the back (in Danish). BTW, genuine Holsteinsborg postmarks are all in typefaces with serifs.

It is now known as Sisimiut. (1996 pop. 5,117), in Sisimiut districxt, West Greenland. Sisimiut is the second largest town in Greenland, it is a fishing center with a modern canning factory and several shipyards. Your stamp is a parcel post stamp. I am no expert in this area. but would recommend this excellent site for further information. http://www.pakke-porto.com/ Blair (TC) |
