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.

  1. 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.
