International Postage Meter Stamp Catalog/Denmark
Denmark
[edit | edit source]- The first Denmark meters appeared in 1925. All stamps have “DANMARK” in the frank except some of the Postage Due stamps. The stamps have a letter prefix which in most cases identifies the meter manufacturer. A few anomalies exist where the letter prefix of one manufacturer is found on stamps that appear to be from a different manufacturer’s machine.
- Stamps with slogan showing the name of the manufacturer, “SERVICE MASKINE” and a number are from meters loaned to mailers while their machines are out of service for repair.
- Denmark has one native meter manufacturer: Portos.
- Danish frank designs are standardized by the government. So far there have been four main designs plus additional distinctive designs used for various Post Office services.
- A – Frank with simulated-perforation borders
- B – Frank with single, straight-line border
- C – Horizontal frank with straight-line borders at right and bottom, open at top and left
- D – Open design without outer frame lines, “POST” in oval at top
- PO – Special stamps for Post Office window/counter use
- PD – Special stamps for Postage Due
GROUP A: Franks with simulated perforation borders, 1925–1945

- For other Post Office stamps see Types A7b, A8a, A9a/b, B2a/b/c/e, B3a, B7a, B8a, B14a/b, C4b, and C5a.
- Non-metered bulk mail franking machines in post offices have stamps very similar in appearance to Types PO1 and PO2. The non-metered stamps have multiple-line dates which usually include the time of day. The meter stamps only have single-line dates, never including the time. The bulk mail machines were used before the use of postage meters.
