Charming card! Great costumes and faces. The costumes actually remind us a lot of some worn by German ice skating troupes we've seen images of, and we don't know anything about this troupe or their act. The card was printed in Munich, which is a little unusual for us to find, Berlin being a much more common place of origin. But then this is a pre-"Golden Age" postcard, and the geography of that industry hadn't really taken shape yet as it would over the following decade.
Also on the obverse of the card we have a very nice unfranked Bavarian 5 pfennig stamp. It isn't of any great value, but is in beautiful condition, and certainly adds interest and mood making the card even more of a "time machine" item :)
Please examine our high res scans for detail.
The item you are considering for purchase is, unless otherwise noted, a vintage postcard of approximately 5 and 1/2, by 3 and 1/2 inches. Postage is for fully-insured, first class shipping in a secure photo mailer (to avoid any damage to your purchase in the mails), and we happily combine shipping on all paper goods. If you purchase two cards, we will not charge for postage on the second card, and when you purchase three or more cards from us at the same time, your shipping will be entirely free, except for international orders which, because of increases in international shipping rates will still be charged one card's shipping fees on orders of three or more. We do not charge for insurance or shipping materials, and as of the date of this listing are still charging below our overall cost on shipping.
