This one is available at HipStamp. Several other denominations are also available from the same seller...

A Local Stamp... Does this means it should not be hinged into a World Stamp album?
Or should it still be added in a blank spot?
THANKS for the information!!

I can't cannot reads the words, but one word "Telegraf" doesn't sound like it would be used on a local stamp.
What is at the top of the building, might it be lighting bolts?
I just do not know, if it a stamp is for telegraft, would local stamp be used?
Just my take on this stamp.
The 1982 Hiscocks catalogue, Telegraph & Telephone Stamps of the World, mentions these stamps and those of other local Danish companies of the time but doesn't list them as they are believed to have been primarily for postal use.
This recommends a 1974 book, The Private Local Posts of Denmark, by Christensen and Ringström, for details.

We can't seem to find this as a (regular) stamp from Denmark...
And the World Stamp site didn't have anything on it as far as we can see!
Any ideas?
THANKS!
