My 27th DEUTSCHER PHILATELISTENTAG
(1921)
Issued to commemorate the 27th German Philatelists Day and the 19th Meeting of the Federation of German and Eastern German Philatelic Societies held from 22nd to 25th Jul 1921. There were two main versions which differed in the colour of the print: the print was either dark brown (/01) or grey-green (/02).
/01 Brown Text
/02 Green Text
There were also four versions of this card where the pre-printed value stamp differs between them. The cards had either a 10Pf, 15Pf, 30Pf or 40Pf pre-printed stamp.
Many examples of postcards cancelled at the exhibition also have Cinderella stamps affixed and cancelled. There were seven different Cinderella stamps available: 3 small stamps of 5Pf (green), 10Pf (orange) and 20Pf (blue) as well as four larger stamps: red, blue, grey-black and green which did not have a numberic value.
