HISTORIC BUILDINGS
(UNKNOWN)

I don't know when this series of postcards was published, or how many cards were in the complete series, but I have placed them here as the earliest cancellation date I have seen is 1911.

ZENTRUM PARTEI
(1911?)

The publication date for this series of postcards is unknown, as is the quantity. I have placed them here temporarily, but more research is needed to determine the actual date of issue and quantity. These cards were likely issued prior to the 1912 German elections and several have dates of 1910 so it is probable that this set was issued somewhere between 1910 and 1912. I have seen quite a number of postally used examples the earliest of which is Jun 1911.

ECONOMIC TRUTHS
(1911)

This series of postcards probably consists of 10 cards and appears to have been issued by one of the many political parties in Germany [MORE RESEARCH REQUIRED].
