Swedish Local Traffic Stamps



Above is a postcard picturing the five stamps in the Local Traffic booklet issued by Sweden in 1977. The stamps show five different types of public transportation: horse-drawn tram, modern tram, ferry, articulated bus, and underground train.

    Thank you for joining today! And no I don't mind being shown wrong - just wish I had copies of the USA streetcar stamps. Maybe I'll ahve to search ebay - though I took a personal pledge to Stay Away.

    I didn't have any public transportation stamps - but I love the ones you have shown. Their subway looks a lot like ours (the ones that are being phased out). I feel fore that poor horse!!
