Denmark
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
