I guess this is a German town as the signs are in German and I think there are German flags flying in the center, background; note the US flag, too, though. AZO stamp box dates this 1904-18. Does anyone have an idea what city this is?

Signs include "Stellervermittlerin" (Employment Agency), "Heinr. Johnke Cigarren" and "Musik Haus"

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Alan,

Could you show a close-up of the tram?
It might give a clue to some rail fans (not me!).

Happy new year! :veryhappy:

The more I look at this old view, the more I like it!

Happy New Year to you, too! You were a big help in '07, Manug, and here's to more good interaction in '08.

bonjour cousin manny and alan,
it is quite possible that this city might not exist like this at all today if it were in germany considering the damage done in ww2 and the reconstruction done afterwards. is there a back to the card and any clues from it? a postmark perhaps? an address? and a happy new year to both of you mes amis.

amities,
cajunsr.

No, it's unused; 4-triangles-up AZO stamp box.

I was curious, too, what the US flags were doing.

someone may know the style of street-car based on what they see in the image.

that's the joy of postcards, cajunsr, seeing 'the way things used to be'!

hi alan,
i understand what you're sayin'. this is history in a nutshell. it's like seeing things here in tampa years ago and now. or back in louisiana when i lived there and now. it's so sad to see beautiful structures torn down for ugly monsters they have in their place. but some have been saved in tampa like the tampa theater and university of tampa. but other historic buildings were razed esp. our old courthouse for no reason at all. beautiful spanish architecture gone forever. all for the love of money. :angryfire: :smash:

amities,
cajunsr.

"Heinr. Jöhnke" or "Heinrich Jöhnke" both give no hits on Google, so no help there. :dunno:

Hi Alan and all,

Sorry, our friend 600Volts (the tram specialist) can't help this time...
You will have to search at random through 110120 Germany pcs!
It works, sometimes... :yes:
Thankfully it's not France... :shoot:

Regards,
Manu :beer:
