Hello

 Hi to all new visitors!

I think someone was kind enough to link to my blog on Facebook (I'm not on there myself) thank you all for visiting.

My name is Suzan. I'm from Denmark and collect unused mail labels.

If you would like to trade mail labels or if you are interested in something else like stamps, postcards etc for mail labels, just send me an email.

Sweden: Prioritaire / Economique booklet

 This is a cool booklet from the Swedish postal service published in 1992.

They started using Prioritaire/Economique labels at the time and the booklet explains how to use them and the new postal rates. The booklet also comes with a small sheet of 8 Prioritaire and 2 Economique labels. 

Id: 2112.70

Year: January 1992, Self-adhesive.

Sweden: Prioritaire

 A full sheet of Prioritaire labels from Sweden. 

30 labels in total on yellow backing paper. 

Id number: 2112.72

Year: Aug 1994, Self-adhesive.

Denmark: Prioritaire

It turnes out we do have labels on a roll here in Denmark! I saw them last week when I was at the post office and asked to get some. The postal worker said that she could not give them out, only those on a sheet (which I already have). The postal worker said, those on a roll are for post offices only and they use them when people send mail from the post office, not to give out.

Anyway, the post office has hired a lot of December help, because people order so many gifts online, so today when I visited the post office only the December help was there not the normal postal workers, and I asked if I could get some labels from the roll and she gave me some :)
I will ask for more next time I see it's not the normal postal workers.

They look like the Swedish from a roll, except the backing paper is wider and the id number on the back is also different.
