I think/assume it is a Danish railway parcel stamp issued by the Lolland-Falster Railway. But don't pin me down on it.
I have been looking into this a bit more and I might be right. Before 1885, Banholm was the name of the town that is now called Bandholm. It was the terminal station of the Banholm-Maribo railroad, established in 1869.
The line was closed in 1952 and the station is now a small railroad museum
The building plan for Banholm station (note the spelling)

look at how much a stamp delivers
fascinating, and gorgeous, Jan-Simon. thanks for all the extra context, too
Jan-Simon,
Thanks so much for the information. Very informative. Great research on the station and name.
Can't find this one. Seems to be from Denmark with 1875 Postmark from Banholm. Banholm appears to be part of Finland. Revenue? Thanks for your help.
