Christmas Postcard
mailed in what might be 1903
shows a man like black Krampus with his wrists in chains, holding a switch in his hand along with a crying boy at his feet. Just noticed that the krampus guy has one human foot and the other looks to be like a horses hoof!! You can see that he is covered in hair/fur, pointy ears, horns coming out of his head, big eyes and a long pointy tongue. He also has a couple of kids in a basket type back pack.
card is lightly embossed
Have another Christmas card (our #MB0186) that was sent to the same person and from the same person - that also appears to have been mailed on the same date. Each has a green Kais Koeniol, Heller Oesterr Post stamp with what I believe to be Franz Josef pictured. In the corners there are black inked 5s printed in the corners. Has an elongated octagonal shaped cancel that is dated 24.11.03 ~ 1/1 Wien 1 ~ 45 N
- Please note that the majority of the cards are over 50 years old and as such, are sold AS IS. Tears will be noted but it would be too timely to note each fault on every card. If condition is important to you - contact us with our number in the title & what it is that you would like to know or what it is that you would like pictured more closely.
- Because of the age of the cards - they are noted as being USED - no matter if they are written on or not.
