SAXON POSTAL WORKERS
(UNKNOWN)
This series of 12 postcards commemorates the work of the Saxon postal service. There is no date of issue specified, so I have placed them here because the earliest postally used item I have seen was canceled on 16th Dec 1914.

AGAINST GERMANY'S SHAME
(UNKNOWN)
This series of six, quite rare, postcards probably dates from somewhere between 1900 and 1914. To date the earliest cancellation I have seen was dated in November 1914. [More Research Required]
