Norway Meter Stamp Type EA1.2A

Norway · 1955 · 20 ØRE

A circular meter stamp impression featuring 'NORGE' at the top, '20 ØRE' in the center, and the date '20.12.55' at the bottom, accompanied by a wavy line cancellation.

Meter stamps like this one represent the increasing automation of postal services in the mid-20th century, allowing for efficient, on-demand postage printing directly onto mail by businesses. This Norwegian example from 1955 demonstrates the adoption of such technology.
