Item Description
The Nordic Cooperative Council of Stamp-Issuing Countries - NORDEN - chose SAILING AND BOATING as their 1998 omnibus theme. One of 8 Nordic/Scandinavian countries that participate in the annual design cooperative, ICELAND issued two abstract design stamps in March of 1998 - one depicting Sailboats, the other, Powered boats.The handcolored cachet (on a handmade envelope of off-white pulpy writing paper) shows the Puffin Cachets mascot helming his little sailboat while trying to match the line work, palette, and wave design on the stamps!
The cover is franked with the two stamps in this issue, in combo with a sailboat stamp issued 6 months earlier as part of an Iceland souvenir sheet. The new stamps are tied with the official pictorial First Day of Issue postmark from Reykjavík on March 5, 1998. The combo stamp received a Reykjavík bridge cancel of the same date (Iceland does not allow the official FDoI postmark to be used on any stamp other than the newest issue).
••• This was the only cover serviced with the combo stamp! •••
The reverse bears the Puffin Cachets logo, and shows this to be cover #2 of only 9 sent to Iceland for servicing.
