Cards from friends 2013-12-11

 

Very nice card from XU with cancellation 2013-12-11.Thanks for that one. I did not make any covers that day. Its is a special day they say, think every day is special.

Like the cats on the card and also the nice picture from that palace.

Card from Berlin

Just show an old postcard. 1904 from Berlin to Leeds. You see the Siegerallee with Otto III and Johannes 1. There are a lot of statues there, the card says 34 but if they still all there?  I don't know.

The card is for sale if you like it.

Cancellations Mouse and Elephant

Some collectors like topics. Here a nice cancellation if you like elephants on stamps or cancels.

Found this card with a nice cancellation of 100 years Zoo in Koln( Germany) in 1960. As you can see there are two the same cancellations, no idea why there are 2. When you look carfully you see the young elephant running away for a little mouse. (also a nice topic). If this card came to the right address is not sure.  It is said 'wrong delivery', so its not certain that the card from Tante Cor, Oom Otto, Tante Miep and Richard was read by the Nieuwenhuizen family.

Vorige week op de postzegelclub enkele anzichtkaarten gekocht. Hier zie je er eentje met een reklamestempel. Tekst 'gebruikt bij voorkeur "Nederlandsch Fabrikaat" Leuk stempel op een kaart die destijds in Frankrijk gemaakt is. In de crisistijd van de dertiger jaren was het zeker beter om Nederlandse producten te kopen dan die uit het buitenland. Een andere slogan was volgens mij ook : Koopt Nederlandse Waar, dan helpen we elkaar. Er zullen wel meer slogans geweest zijn. Of e.e.a. echt geholpen heeft weet ik niet, wel is het zo dat tegenwoordig ook nog wel zo gedacht en gehandeld wordt, hier in de omgeving zeker wel, heeft ook te maken met geloofsovertuiging(en). Laat ook nog even de voorzijde van de kaart zien, een dame met bloemen/bloesem, zowel in de hand als in de tuin.

Holidays

Holiday's are still very popular these day's even in this economic bad day's. Also postcards from the place you are to relatives and friends are still very common. Sometimes you will have more stamps than cards and when you have an uncle who likes stamps..... Indeed, thanks to my niece Samatha who give me this nice Greece stamps. Good for the Europe topic or is it European topic.

A stamp issued March 3rd with 7 others. Special occasions. This one is for the 10 years Economic and Monetair Union of Europ.

Heb je dat nu ook wel eens op je vakantie ? Postzegels over of aanzichtkaarten te kort. Het is in deze economisch lastige tijden toch nog een goede gewoonte om vanuit je vakantieadres een kaartje te sturen. Mijn nicht Samantha had nog wat Griekse zegels over en die mocht ik ontvangen. Best leuk zo'n gebaar. De zegel is uit een serie van 8, uitgegeven op 30 maart 2009, en is vanwege het 10 jarig bestaan van de Economisch en Monetaire Unie van Europa. Handig om dan ook het tarief te gebruiken voor post binnen Europa.

Readfield

Nice a postcard with a personal stamp on the back with the same picture. Did not see these before. Your own postcard with your own stamp. Great idea from Jay, he mailed this one and also some nice stamps. Could help him with some covers for his collection.

Old postcards

Also collect old postcards from the place I was born and did grow up. Show a nice card from Haarlem to Buenos Aires. The picture is a small road(pad) called Zandvaartpad. At the end you can see the main road. Now its a road, the water is still there. Like to find old cards from Heemstede, even not with a chicken on it. Clear cancellation 24-XII (19)11, to late for Christmas. Maybe start a blog with cards from Heemstede.

Blogger fun and surprises.

Today's mail, the usual advertisment shit, banksheets and a wonderfull postcard from the US of A. Thanks to the readers of my blog who did send me this postcard. On the backsite a chickenstamp, with others and a happy cancel/stamp of a chicken. Also the Wilma Rudolph stamp is on the back. I show you this card because I did not see such card before and as you ,and I know, there are more USA chickenstamps, maybe you have such a card with that chickenstamp in front, like those one's. On the card the story of Wilma so I don't have to tell you that. Makes me happy to find cards or covers in my mail. Blogging is making the world smaller, don't you think?
