 * In 1856, tiny square ¼ schilling stamps in red with a bull's head design were issued, grouped in blocks of four. These were inscribed FREIMARKE at top and MECKLENB. / SCHWERIN in the side tablets.
 * Also in 1856, a larger arms in shield design was issued, in 3s and 5s values. This was similarly inscribed as before.
 * In 1864, tiny ¼s designs were again issued, now rouletted around each block of 4. These are quite scarce and so the rouletting has been forged on 1856 stamps.
 * Later in 1864, ¼s designs were issued in rose again rouletted around each block of 4.
 * In 1864-67, the larger design were issued with a new 2s value (two different colors) and the 5s now in brown instead of blue. These are rouletted.
 * In 1868, Mecklenburg-Schwerin joined the North German Confederation.
