The message itself is also unusual. Well, actually there isn't a message, just a name and address and "Hedwig" below that. Hedwig is a female name in German. So, whether it's a code name of some kind or another way of relaying a message, I can't say for sure. In any case, the card has many date stamps, starting with the cancellation date on October 3rd, 1913 and ending with a received stamp of November 14th, 1913. There are several other handwritten notations on the card. It's all very mysterious.

Intriguing...great piece for your tramway collection! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the tram. And I wonder about those date stamps?
ReplyDeleteIt looks as though the card may have been following him around and was stamped each time. I wonder what the "page 5" meant too. There seems to be a line drawn between Hedwig and page 5.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Nothing like an old post card for bringing mystery into our lives.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Follow!

How mysterious!
ReplyDeleteit is intriguing...very mysterious. As Sheila said,it could have "followed"..but,it still seems odd!!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry! What a gaffer on my part!
ReplyDeleteGuess my mind just got turned around on all the to-doings here lately. It really has been a really trying time of it.
But no excuses--I should have paid better mind to what you were doing, and not sound like I'm trying to leverage anyone into a Follow.
Please forgive my glaring error.
My apologies

Dig those crazy streetcars!

ReplyDeleteInteresting and great image. The bicycler is interesting.
