Germany Provisional Meter Stamp, 20 Pfennig

Germany · 1959 · 20 Pfennig

A red meter stamp impression featuring 'DEUTSCHE BUNDESPOST' at the top, a '20 Pfennig' denomination, and a date of '2.1.59'. A circular postmark for 'FRANKFURT (MAIN) 1' is visible on the left.

This meter stamp reflects the postal practices of West Germany (Deutsche Bundespost) in the late 1950s, where businesses used franking machines for efficient processing of bulk mail, bypassing traditional adhesive stamps.
