So far, I've been able to surely identify 1,733 cancel-places on stamps from Norway. However, here are four that I can't be sure of. Would be giving thanks at this time for some help in solving these puzzles. What I think I can read so far on them: 1. BARMANFJO?? 2. ??E HJARTDAL 3. ??OKKE OMDE?? 4. VESTS?? with, at bottom, the beginning of a postal code: 390?     |

Two fewer post offices in Hitra this year. 7255 Barmanfjord and 7235 Sørhitra were closed. |

Those are three:
BARMANSFJORDEN
YTRE HJARTDAL
???? Very likely a cancel used in STOKKE (might OMDE... be a service or purpose?)
VESTSIDA - 3900 PORSGRUNN

What year was that third stamp issued. It looks modern and might be from the POSTNORD era.
It appears it should be a little longer than just OMDE. I have been thinking about something like OMDELAND or whatever the Norwegian might be for surrounds, but I have a suspicion OMDE... might be a service cancellation (parcels, inspection, bulk mail, that kind of stuff).
OMDELING? Distribution. |

Guess that one might remain hard to ID. Global Gazetteer lists a STOKKE in seven different regions of Norway.
Thank you NSK and Vayolene! |

I am quite sure it is STOKKE kommune in Vestfold.  |

The word is most probably "OMDELING" which is the Norwegian word for delivery(by postman) |

That is what I think as well. The item may have been sent to Stokke and, probably, escaped cancellation until it was received at the delivery office in Stokke. |
