Dubai Meter Stamp "Freistempel" on Registered Letter
United Arab Emirates · 1900 ·
This is a red meter stamp, also known as a 'Freistempel', from Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates. The meter mark was used on a registered letter from Standard Chartered, indicating it was used for business postage rather than being a standard pictorial stamp.
Meter stamps became a common way for businesses to handle bulk mailings, replacing the need to affix individual postage stamps. This example shows its use in Dubai's commercial sector.
