Federal Republic of Germany Berlin Vending Machine Stamp
Federal Republic of Germany · 1981 · 1 DM
A minimalist design featuring the text 'DEUTSCHE BUNDESPOST' and 'BERLIN' with the denomination 'DM 1,-' and a stylized posthorn logo in the center.
This was the first vending machine stamp issued by the West German postal service, Deutsche Bundespost. The presence of an East German postmark from 1989 on this 1981 West German stamp is an unusual historical anomaly, possibly indicating a later, unofficial cancellation.
