Details

The stamp is from a franking machine. A franking machine is a device that provides postal items with postage by placing a postage stamp on it instead of a postage stamp, based on a postage credit or another system for paying the postage value to the postal service. The franking machine makes it easier for companies to send large quantities of mail. The advantage of using the franking machine is that you can frank, both in the Netherlands and in Belgium, for a cheaper rate. This stamp is of the Machine type Francotyp = FR with the number 16204 This machine was located at the company EMI in Heemstede. EMI has released the music for the movie "If You Know What I Mean". Companies used the stamp to advertise. This method was interesting for record studios or film companies to advertise new records or films. This also means that these types of advertising stamps were only used for a very short time, while for example a company like a bank continued to use the same stamp with their logo for years on end. EMI Music, or EMI for short, was a large, originally British, record company, which operated independently until 2012, but has since been taken over and split up. Headquartered in London, EMI was active in more than 25 countries.
