pictures can not be seen! They are of course present in the catalogue;
contact me if you want to purchase the catalogue.
NOTE: not all the bypost stamps are yet catalogued by me. If anybody posesses pictures of bypost stamps that are not yet in my catalogue; please contact me!
Issued stamps from 1888 to 1890.
(Reduced size)
I have also seen a 5 o brown and 6 o lilac.
Different design:
I have seen a similar stamp 5 o red perforated, with again a slighly different design (text written in ellipse):
(issued 1888)
(10 o brown on green, surcharged with violet '2')
1 o blue 2 o green 3 o red
1888-1890 Goteborg Privata Lokalpost
Besides the 3 o blue and 5 o blue shown above, I have also seen a yellow stamp in this triangular design with stars in the three corners instead of the value.
(Reduced size, image obtained thanks to Lasse Hult)

These stamps were merely issued for stamp collectors. Stamps which are cancelled to order exist in great quantities. More information can be found on the website of Dr. Reinhard Meyer: http://www.nordische-staaten.de/laender/Norwegen/Bypost/bypost.html (in German).
2 o grey 4 o red 8 o blue 10 o brown Surcharged
'2' (red) on 10 o brown '4' (red) on 8 o blue (exists with inverted overprint or inverted '4')
Postmarks: "HAMMERFEST * BYPOST *" in a circle or in a double circle. No date was indicated. It seems that the government cancels (2 rings) also were used occasionally ('HAMMERFEST', date in the center and star below). By the way, cancelled stamps are very rare, most cancelled stamps are cancelled to order. More information can be found on: http://www.nordische-staaten.de/laender/Norwegen/Bypost/bypost.html (in German).

(Reduced size)
The above stamp with design '2B' in the center (colour of the stamp brown) was issued in 1870.
(Reduced size)
(I've been told that this is a forgery of a proof, that can be
recognized by the larger 'H'; known in 6 different colours)
Are these the original proofs?
Issued stamps from 1883 to 1889.
(Reduced size)
3 o red
The cancels on this stamp that I have seen are:
1) Oval with 'Horsens Bypost'
2) 'Horsens Telefon og Bypost' in four lines (at least two types,
in black or violet)
I have seen this stamp (3 o red) surcharged with 'H T B P' in the
corners and a large '1' on the central '3' (stamps of old owner
Bagger taken over by new owner Melgaard, issued 1886). A similar
overprint '3' in an ellipse also exists (issued 1883). I have
also seen a large '5' overprint on this stamp:
"5" on 3 o red (I've seen an inverted surcharge) "10" on 3 o red (I've seen inverted surcharges) "1 HTBP" on 3 o red (1886) "3 HTBP" on 3 o red (1866)
I've been told that this stamp is a forgery, I have no further
information. These forgeries exist with 'FRANCO' cancel in a box
and with '10' overprints.
A rare (provisional?) stamp exists with the elliptic cancel 'Horsens Bypost' in the center and 'EXPRES.' written on top and below (for larger stamps also 'Svar betalt'. Reprints of this stamp exist.
