During the late 1800's, Finland had an extensive array of ships delivering mail in both coastal and lake areas.
The first group are selected stamps from the Abo Area.
The ship's name is on most. Translation, Abo (area) Angslup (steamlaunch without decks) Bolag (company)
I believe the words biljetter bör förstöras - note something about destroying the ticket??

sforgca ,

Rather difficult to find
I got them years ago from an auction sale for what I would think was a very good price as interest was low
It had about 100 of them with color variations
Who might have some?
Jaysmith a major Finnish dealer online
vmstamps also specializes
stamps.fi sells some
Delcampe a good possibility
