Albert Schweigert must have been a very good friend of Adolf's, because I have a lot of postcards that he sent. Adolf appears to have tried to fit them in an album of limited size, so some of the cards have been trimmed. It's a shame, but they're still beautiful.
Here are the backs of the cards in the same order.
I won't transcribe all three cards, since they don't relay any great news. The message on the one above reads:
Dear friend I wish you and your mother a happy New Year. Everything good, everything beautiful. Heartfelt greetings from Schweigert.

ReplyDeleteSo lovely!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful postcards, particularly the first one, I hope Adolf and Albert were able to visit.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.
Oh they are just lovely! My mother was born and raised in Germany and my father met her while he was stationed over there (as a sailor) he married her and brought her home to America! I remember growing up how we always got the most lovely cards from Germany! It's such a treat to see them again here, especially on your blog..you just find the most awesome cards!
ReplyDeleteTrains and a snowy landscape, the perfect combination. The second card is very curious, and probably only understood with some knowledge of German culture, but a machine making gold coins would be a boon for the coming year.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy new year.
absolutely gorgeous selection! happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI'm big on the New Year's train too, though the tracks would run a tad close to the shack for me, if I was the flagman... Like the twig (or ribbon?) text on that card too. And why didn't that gold coin spewing vehicle on the second card come down our street yesterday instead of the boring street sweeper picking up leaves?- would have made my day alot more interesting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards. Even though most of the American postcards were made in Germany, they don't look like these.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a lot of New Year cards for the first time this week - none beat those you are showing here.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Christine
Love 'em all -- especially #2! Happy New year to you.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards (my vote is for #1) and all have that fine gold detailing that makes them seem special.
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy New Year Christine! I have a new Portland artifact for you, which when I get a couple more of I will be sending them your way.
Excellent Post Cards!
ReplyDeleteThese are so lovely.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards and very unusual.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and wishing me a Happy New Year. The same to you!
