Dear Customer!
One hectic summer now lies behind us.
We participated in Norway Post’s summer tour, The Tall Ships Races and the last part of NRK’s ”Sommeråpent”, just to name a few of our activities. Personalised stamps and local cancellations have proven to be a popular combination.
In 1814, the Constitution set forth that Norway should have its own Supreme Court. The Court’s first judgement was passed in 1815, thus making this year its 200th anniversary. The anniversary stamp depicts the Supreme Court building in Oslo. The beautifully engraved stamp was made by Sverre Morken.
Viggo Ree has designed many bird stamps. Another four stamps based on Ree’s watercolours are now being issued. The stamps are self-adhesive and cover the postage for both priority and economy mail up to 20 grams.
Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra will celebrate its 250th anniversary this year. The orchestra is one of the world’s oldest philharmonic orchestras, and in 2015 it is playing an extensive anniversary program. The stamp for this vigorous jubilant was designed by Bergen designer, Lasse Michelsen.
