It looks like a Finnish postmark.

Many villages used postmarks like this.

Here are thee more examples of this kind of Finnish postmark that I posted recently:


- Jorfväs - I believe this is Jorvas near Kirkkonummi.

- Kuokkolampi - a village near Imatra

- Vojakkala - I guess this is the village between Tampere and Helsinki but there is also another village with the same name in Lapland.
