ATM stamps are
not my specialty and not a necessary part of my World envelope collection, but
sometimes I come across the possibility of sending an envelope with an ATM
stamp on it and then I can't resist it.
The postal
service of Aland started issuing ATM stamps almost immediately after starting
issuing its own stamps in 1986. The first ones were the well-known Frama
labels. These days there are more local designs, like the 2017 issue showing beach
finds.
At Aland Post it
is only possible to buy the complete set of four different values, but at stamp
shows Aland Post sells individual labels. At the Briefmarken-Messe in Essen I
bought the EUR 1,40 label, wich covers the tariff for a letter to European
countries. The priority label was affixed by the philatelic service in
Mariehamn. The postmark is from the central postal terminal.
