The Google AI says AVG. LBR. is the abbreviation for Avgången Likvidation Betald Rekommenderat. Seems legit  Apologies if you know this already! |

I believe that "AVG. LBR." indicates that the item was picked up from a postbox.

I believe the cancel is July 18, 1912. At first I thought I saw the bottom of an "X" (October) but that particular cancel doesn't use Roman numerals for the month, and the cancel does have a period/stop between the month and year. I think we're seeing the very bottom of the "7" and a "."
When you have it in hand, is that what you see? |

judgehen- According to the language of flowers, the daisy represents innocence. So the massive bunch of daisies the lady is holding indicates that she is extremely innocent. I know she doesn't look it, but the flowers don't lie. |

There is a very easy way to find our the month. The written text on the card is "Heartliest congratulations on your name day/ Dora" And in 1912 Erik which the card is sent had his name day on 18. May. So the month is 5=May. E is shortfor Eftermiddag=p.m. so 6-7E is 6-7 p.m.

The 10öre on the first card is Scott 119 issued 1925 (128 is a sheet or booklet stamp) It has two types and this is type I issued 1925. The 15öre is, as you say, 168. It also has two types and this is th type II issued in 1928. The 5öre on the olympic cancelled card is most probably 77. This stamp exists also with watermark crown(Sc70) but it is quite rare and is normally used in may-june 1911. |
