OTHER KLICKOW POSTCARDS ON OFFICIAL POSTCARDS
This Klickow sponsored postcard was printed on a 1900 issue P40-Ba-I postcard. The card was obviously invalid by the time this card was produced, so a current 3 Rpf self-adhesive stamp has been added in order to pay for the postage. The original pre-printed stamp has been invalidated with a Klickow company stamp and the 3 Rpf stamp has been cancelled with a special "STEINHAGEN (WESTF)" sonderstempel.
Below is a similar Klickow postcard using an older official postcard as the base. In this case the official card is a P70 and like the card above it has had the original stamps invalidated and a self adhesive 3 Rpf Hindenburg Medallion has been added in order to send the card through the post.
OTHER KLICKOW POSTCARDS
WITH OTHER PRE-PRINTED STAMPS
This Klickow postcard is listed as PP106-B-15/02 and bears a pre-printed 3 Rpf EBERT stamp. This example was cancelled on 31st Dec 1929 and advertises the company's range of overseas and colonial stamps. This particular stamp was valid from 1st Sep 1928 until 30th Jun 1934 so the card can be dated from sometime during that priod.
OTHER KLICKOW POSTCARDS
WITHOUT PRE-PRINTED STAMPS
As well as the postcards above there were other Klickow postcards that did not have a pre-printed stamp. The example below was issued in Mar 1935.
The following card is another Klickow advertising card and it was also published without a pre-printed stamp. This particular card commemorates the 20th Anniversary of the company in 1932.
