Not sure if you already learned the answer or not, No Sir! Thanks Eric, as someone recently retorted, "SCF there is always somebody who knows the answer" Thanks a bunch, did not expect a response.  |

Hi Rod. Your revenue stamp is not related to freemasonry The four symbols (caduceus,anchor,ear,compass) refer to four major norwegian activities,according to Frederick A.Brofos   |

Industry is is then vayolene. Sounds so much more relevant.  Shall add to my Iconography database. Top marks for research.  The ear of corn was obscured by the Pmk, I thought it may have been a flower. Your lovely examples are the later "Arms" The shield shape changes from "square" to "Norman" or "Heater"  |

That's all I came up with Thank you both, solved. Under extreme magnification, I could see the gold print den norske sjom... etc. (Never seen gold print on a stamp look successful) I have kept a screen grab of Jill's ref. Both Postmarks would suggest usage in Europe. |

If 'follows the merchant navy' doesn't make sense, combine it with upper right corner 'Sjømansmisjonen'. Then it reads: Sailor mission follows the merchant navy (or fleet)'. They set their base (church) in the ports where Norwegian ships call in. |

The slogan postmark appears to say:
JULEPOST
BØR
...LEVERES INN
I GOD TID
I think it is something like: Mail Christmas mail early |
