Issued for the silver (25th) anniversary of the reign of Oscar II, and in conjunction with the Stockholm Exposition of that year.

View Card - 1929 - indicium is image of king; images on left side; 1 from set of 20 has view of Stockholm city street with trolley

Image KD

1976 - SWE.2: Tram letter box, circa 1907

1978 - SWE.1: Railway station letter box circa 1890. I can't read the Swedish and I don't have a dictionary (I must get one). It is obviously something about closing the box 5 minutes before the train is due to leave.

PPC - 1983 - World Telecommunications Year, 2.40 ore indicium with no rail interest; image on reverse is reproduction of Scott 227, with train circling globe

PPCs - 1986 - Stockholm postal Museum - set of 2, indicia same as Scott 1608 (Interior of railway post office car) and 1610 (early mail carrier on country road); picture sides show views of Stockholm from the Katarina Lift, one with view of train tracks entering station.
