Those Aalborg locals are fantastic. I've always passed right over Danish locals, but I'm going to have to give them a second look.
This is all your fault, Rod.

Aalborg Bypost & Aalborg og Pakke-Expedition are one in the same post founded by C.J. Als in 1884 serving Aalborg and nearby Norresundby, Denmark until 1890 when his wife took over operations after his death until 1896.
The brown 1 ore is Christensen/Ringstrom #10, value .40 in 1974. The green 1 ore is #34, value .20 in 1974 issued on Aug. 18, 1886. The brown 2 ore is #38, value .20 in 1974 issued on Sept. 23, 1887. The blue 2 ore is #11, value .25 in 1974. The green/red 2 ore is either #5($1.) or 6($6.), both released in Nov. 10, 1885, #6 is emerald green/red instead of just green, you judge. The red 3 ore is #37, value .20 in 1974,issued on Sept. 9, 1887. The brown/blue 5 ore is #12, value .40 in 1974. The red/black 5 ore is #39, value .20 in 1974, issued Oct. 10, 1887. The black/brown 10 ore is #13, value .20 in 1974. The blue/brown 10 ore is #40, value .15 in 1974. The pale green/black 20 ore is #14A, value .20, however if it is emerald/black is #14B value $2.00. The black/blue 25 ore is #15A, or it may be the greyish black/blue is #15B both value .50 in 1974. The red/olive-green 25 ore is #41, value is .40 in 1974. The silver/red 35 ore is #42, value is $1.00 in 1974. The blue/gold 50 ore is #16, value is $1.00 in 1974. The black/blue/gold 50 ore is #43, value is .50 in 1974, issued Oct. 24, 1887. Numbers 10-16 were issued on April 1, 1886. Numbers 40-42 were issued on Oct. 10, 1887.
In all the years of operation Aalborg used only 2 different cancels, however, both known in 3 colors violet, blue & black. Yours appears to be all violet and type 1 cancel with a 2 of 10 rarity rating.
All stamps were issued in sheets 2 x 100 or 4 x 50 by Lithography with a Perf. 11 1/2

Warrehouse! I was reflecting about all the assistance you have given, If you were a lawyer, I'd be organising a second mortgage.  You are a ripper mate. Thanks. |

Hello, I didn't see this one listed in the above numbers. Does this one have a different catalog number than the other 50 ore stamps or is it just a different color? many thanks david  |

Ok, it's not a local, or revenue, but I just found this little 1926 late fee stamp lurking amongst some Danish definitives, and thought it was interesting enough to post. This seemed as good a place as any.  |
