It appears I have 6 different types (or 5 with one variety in two perforation versions). The one at the bottom appears to be Finnish, as it is bilingual Finnish and Swedish and has the currency in Markka.

Hi,
I found the following note in a Swedish article, Samlarglädje - en vandring i bältespännarfilatelins värld, on many topics but which has a picture of some of these labels.
Google translates this as "Collector's delight - a journey into the world of belt buckle philately". (!)
"A special position in the field of postal labels is occupied by the redemption labels for insufficiently franked items. These were introduced in 1911 and were used until the last year of the century. The redemption labels had a printed denomination, or a space to write one. The denomination was the redemption fee for the item. An interesting special position is occupied by the labels where a hand stamp was used to indicate the denomination. Until the mid-1950s, the redemption labels were square in shape, and then became rectangular. Almost without exception, the redemption labels were printed on greenish paper."
The article is available at:

It sounds weird, bältespännar / belt buckle, but that is the Swedish word for cinderella which is of course also.quite silly. I will check the article, thanks!

I have a number of Swedish postage due labels ("Lösen" in Swedish) that were put in use after the normal postage due stamps were abolished. The FACIT catalogue does not mention them at all and in Michel I can only find a small footnote after the postage due section that states specialists distinguish 9 different types, however there is no further explanation. Online I have not been able to find anything either, so I would like to know if there is anyone here who has more info.
