In 1920 the price of sending a letter within Sweden was 5 öre.
In 1972 the Swedish postal service issued this poster.
In 2012 I bought it at Tradera.
Happy Weekend!

I'm a Swedish blogger with an eighteen year old son and two sweet cats, Mini & Bonus.
Ps. Tradera is our local branch of Ebay and the poster's a vintage one.

I like the poster. If you disregard the number signifying the century, all dates had number 2 in them 920, 972, and 012. Maybe it's your lucky number? :-). Trevlig helg

I'm sure it was no accident that the poster happens to match that stack of pillows so brilliantly :) Happy weekend!

So cool! What a find! And, that green goes to show what classic taste you have! :)

I collected stamps when I was a kid, and this reminds me of the stamps I would occasionally find that said "Sverige" on them. I had some kind of list of country name translations that came in handy. :) Thanks for the little trip down memory lane!

Great poster! Your green exactly!
