FIN.3 This is a freight arrival notice card issued before 1917 (because of the crown over the railway wheel). I am not sure whether we should include this. It is a sort of postal stationery. If we include this one there are 8 or 10 more to go in, all slightly different.

Card is shown at left - Note that this card does NOT include postage, so it is not really a postal card, though it was produced and sold by the Finnish post office, so it is postal stationery. I suppose one could call it a postal post card.
