POSTCARDS:

P32
OFFICIAL POSTCARD
5 PFENNIG

Issued 1894. From P32 onwards a new roller printing process was introduced that did not allow for the inclusion of print date data. Therefore from P32 onwards all cards are without printing data. P32, As with earlier cards, has a thick line under the 3rd dotted address line and occurs with or without gaps in the 1st, 1st and 2nd or 4th dotted lines. This card is also without a watermark. There are two varieties of P32: P32I with gaps in the dotted lines and P32II without gaps in the dotted lines.

Starting with P32, the text 'Wohnung' for the subsequent cards differs slightly from the previous cards. This new style is referred to Type 'I' and is recognizable by the form of the 'W' where the left arc curves slightly to the right. The 'g' also has two tails on the right-hand side of the 'g' on the top circle.
