Germany Meter Stamp Type RB1

Germany · 1960 · 100 pfennig

A rectangular meter stamp impression, likely in red, featuring 'DEUTSCHE BUNDESPOST' at the top, the denomination '100' centrally, and 'RB1' at the bottom, with a wavy line cancellation.

Meter stamps like this were used by the Deutsche Bundespost (West German Post Office) to process mail efficiently, indicating postage paid directly onto envelopes or labels rather than using adhesive stamps.
