Sweden International Mail Cover from Stockholm

Sweden · 1949 · 10 öre, 25 öre, 30 öre

This is a postal cover sent from Stockholm, Sweden to New York, USA. It is franked with three definitive stamps: a 10 öre brown featuring the Three Crowns (Tre Kronor), a 25 öre orange also with the Three Crowns, and a 30 öre blue portrait of King Gustaf V. The stamps are tied by a clear Stockholm postmark dated 1949.

This cover represents typical international mail from the post-WWII era, a period of rebuilding and re-establishing global connections. The use of definitive stamps featuring the long-reigning King Gustaf V and the national symbol of the Three Crowns was standard for Swedish mail at the time.
