Swedish Philatelic Booklet (Sverige 1960s/70s Folksam Advertisement Pane)

This item is a Swedish philatelic booklet pane consisting of ten individual stamps, arranged in five horizontal pairs. The stamps are multi-colored, featuring denominations of 40 öre (dark purple), 25 öre (sepia/brown), and 5 öre (red). Each stamp depicts a detailed engraving of a historical scene, likely related to Swedish culture or industry, featuring a standing figure on the left. At the top of the pane is a white selvage margin (header) with text in Swedish: 'Varannan svensk försäkrad I FOLKSAM', which translates to 'Every other Swede insured in FOLKSAM,' indicating a commercial or sponsored issue from the mid-20th century. The stamps appear to be printed on white perforated paper and are housed within a black protective philatelic mount, which is further placed on a translucent white grid-lined stock page. The condition appears excellent with crisp edges and no visible creasing, though the reverse side (gum) is not visible. This type of booklet was common in Sweden during the 1960s and 1970s for easy consumer use. The craftsmanship is typical of high-quality Swedish intaglio printing from that era, showcasing fine line work and consistent ink saturation.
