Norway Meter Stamp Type BA1

Norway · 1927 · 20 ØRE

The stamp features 'NORGE' at the top and '20 ØRE' at the bottom, enclosing a central design of a crown above a posthorn, all within an oval frame.

This meter stamp represents an early adoption of franking machines in Norway, allowing businesses to print postage directly onto mail, thereby streamlining postal operations and reducing reliance on traditional adhesive stamps.
