re: interesting cover.

Well, it is a cover with Swedish stamps and Swedish postmarks. I would say the cover is from Sweden. The postmark is advertising an Israel Exhibition of some kind.

re: interesting cover.

Not sure whether this letter actually went through the mails. It's missing processing marks, and the address does not conform to the 1990s practice when postcodes were commonly uses. However, I've seen many letters reaching an addressee without a postcode, and maybe the company was well enough known anyway.

re: interesting cover.

I would tend to agree with Antonio;

I would categorize it under the issuing/originating country

if it were mine.

Perhaps you misread the postmarks which say the year it was mailed was 1957? The year is a little hard to read. The only processing marks would have been the postmarks as seen on the cover right?

re: interesting cover.

The postmark says in Swedish:

Norrköping / Israel Utställningen

Israel Exhibition in Norrköping

The address is of the famous aero-philatelist and dealer.

Indeed. I took it to be 1997 when bar codes and the like were customarily applied. Should have wiped my spectacles ;-)
