1957 DENMARK Ferry Cargo Mail Fragtbrev Bagermestrenes Brødfabrik Esbjerg to Olsen Fanø Bread Shipment 40kg 1.50 Kr Postfærge Ferry Stamp Rare Maritime Logistics
Exceptional, historical piece of Danish maritime trade, commercial bread production logistics, and regional philatelic-postal history from October 1957. This is an authentic original ferry cargo waybill (Fragtbrev) issued for bakery products transported via the vital mainland-to-island ferry service.
The document records a heavy commercial food shipment from the historic bakery association "Bagermestrenes Brødfabrik Esbjerg" sent directly to a recipient named "Olsen" on the island of Fanø (Fanø). The cargo details explicitly specify 1/2 crate (Ks. / Kasse) of bread (Brød) weighing a substantial 40 kg.
The philatelic highlight is the single franking in the lower left corner: a 1.50 Krone brown Danish State Railways Ferry Stamp (POSTFÆRGE 1 KR. 50 DANMARK) depicting a ferry boat. The stamp is beautifully tied to the thin paper document by a bold, complete, large circular maritime postmark: "FANØ-ESBJERG FÆRGERI * ESBJERG". It also features a crisp violet date stamp from 26 OKT 1957.
The reverse side of the document is completely blank (clean), clearly showing the authentic ink bleed-through and silhouettes of the front markings due to the vintage thin paper structure. An outstanding, crisp example of post-WWII Scandinavian specialized transport and fiscal history.
