Sweden 1964 Test stamp and 1974/76 booklets

In 1964 Sweden's stamp printing office acquired a new three-colour stamp printing press , and they produced test stamps to test the new machine. These were the original  Cathedral stamps engraved by Slania. These test stamps were used, in 1974, to make up promotional booklets, which were handed out during the Stockholmia 1974 show. 
It was issued in 1967 denominated 4k50 stamp and depicts the interior of Uppsala Cathedral.

Hafnia
1976 saw a multi-coloured version. As you can see, the original test stamps were not denominated.
