WWF card


This is a World Wildlife Fund (WWF) card sent from Finland. I am not sure of the place in the card though as it is not mentioned by the sender neither the card makers.


Interesting that the stamp used was a British stamp, so obviously the postage was paid by other method. Nice stamp though, Harry Potter! Thank you Kiti for sending this card!!

Nice stamp. The one on the right is a prepaid stamp. The cancellation mark is quite interesting as it is in Mandarin, unfortunately I don't read Mandarin ,so I don't have clue where it was canceled. Anyway, thanks Jiang Ke
