Can't find these listed anywhere. The printing of the denomination makes me think the value is just printed out on this label (given the paper on the back - impossible to properly soak off - I think these must be self-adhesives).

Maybe customized values for a package weight?

The symbol also makes me wonder if these are associated with a stamp show?

Many thanks, Dave.

re: Finland Label?

These are Franking Labels from 1995. The one on the left is Facit# EA.21 IId and the one on the right is EA.21 IIc

re: Finland Label?

I know Facit calls these (falsely) as franking labels, but these are actually ATM-stamps (equivalent to US Variable Value stamps).

ATM-stamps behave like a normal stamp. Once you bought them from vending machine, they were valid and usable anywhere and anytime. These here represent the third generation of Finnish ATMs (following Frama and EMS ATM stamps). And yes, they are non-soakable and reach to heat. These are listed in Michel, Facit and specialized Finnish catalogs.

Franking labels on the other had to be used at that specific date and location, and they are usually not listed in any of the catalogs.

re: Finland Label?

Thanks for the info Richard & Keijo.

I did find these to be very fussy to coax off the paper they were on. Thinking I might just leave them "on piece" and do a nice tight trim next time.

Dave.

re: Finland Label?

The denomination on the stamps will probably disappear within the next 5-6 years. Thermal printing is great for kiosks since it means that no one has to administer or maintain printer ribbons. But any thermally printed sections will not last for more than a decade, the maximum specification I have seen is 7-10 years. It is just the nature of the beast.

This make collecting these difficult and I do not know any way you can preserve the printed parts; scanning them and keeping the images might be the only solution.
