📝 Description (for listing)
Vintage Sweden First Day Cover issued 20 January 1959 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Vattenfall. Features a striking multi-franking with three 30 öre blue stamps and one 90 öre red stamp, all tied by clear Stockholm first day cancellations.
The cover is addressed to Malmö and remains in very good condition with only light signs of age. A nice example of mid-century Scandinavian thematic philately, especially appealing for collectors of electricity, engineering, or Nordic postal history.
