Political / Patriotic label: Traditional Finnish areas in red and with hoped-for Karelian (and other) areas to the east in yellow. Blue Border. There is a violet handstamped "r" at right-center; the purpose of this is not known. I have not been able to find out very much about this label, however, it has been seen on a cover dated 1921, thus it dates from the early period of the Republic. This example has been removed (without any damage) from an envelope; it has part gum and some envelope adhesions -- I have not soaked it because it may be useful to know the appearance of the gum. As of April 2011, this is only the third example I can recall having in 37 years. |
