Germany Meter Stamp Type B2

Germany · 1965 · 100 Pfennig

A rectangular meter stamp impression featuring 'DEUTSCHE BUNDESPOST' at the top, the denomination '100' prominently in the center, and a circular postmark with a date (e.g., 1.1.65) and location, accompanied by wavy cancellation lines.

This meter stamp originates from the Deutsche Bundespost, the postal service of West Germany, reflecting the use of automated franking machines for mail processing during the mid-20th century. It represents a common method for businesses and post offices to frank bulk mail.
