1920
The 1920 postcard page has now been split into four separate pages as it was beginning to get unwieldy. All 1920 Official postcards are now on this page. Official postcards are cards that were issued by the Reich’s post office, had pre-printed (indicia) stamps and were widely available throughout German towns and cities.
Secondly Printed to Private Order postcards are postcards that were generally issued by entities that were advertising an event or commemorating an anniversary, and also had pre-printed stamps, but were not widely available throughout Germany (most were only available at the event they were commemorating).
Thirdly Other postcards are postcards that fall into the same general category as printed to private order however they do not have pre-printed stamps.
Finally, Miscellaneous postcards is where you will find postcards that do not fit into the first three categories (i.e. they are not official, they do not have pre-printed stamps, and they do not commemorate an event).

This postcard was sent from a basket goods and toy factory in Burgkundstadt, Bayern on 22nd Jul 1920. There are two 5Pf self adhesive BAYERN sower stamps cancelled on 22nd Jul 1920.The message on the reverse of the card requests buyers who are interested in purchasing brush, fruit, bread and paper baskets, to do so in writing, due to the seller having difficulty travelling. The message ends with a commitment from the seller to only provide good, viable and inexpensive goods.
