    I guess this is a German town as the signs are in German and I think there are German flags flying in the center, background; note the US flag, too, though. AZO stamp box dates this 1904-18. Does anyone have an idea what city this is?

    Signs include "Stellervermittlerin" (Employment Agency), "Heinr. Johnke Cigarren" and "Musik Haus"

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi Alan,

    Could you show a close-up of the tram?
    It might give a clue to some rail fans (not me!).

    Happy new year! :veryhappy:

    The more I look at this old view, the more I like it!

    Happy New Year to you, too! You were a big help in '07, Manug, and here's to more good interaction in '08.

    No, it's unused; 4-triangles-up AZO stamp box.

    I was curious, too, what the US flags were doing.

    someone may know the style of street-car based on what they see in the image.

    that's the joy of postcards, cajunsr, seeing 'the way things used to be'!

    "Heinr. Jöhnke" or "Heinrich Jöhnke" both give no hits on Google, so no help there. :dunno:

    Hi Alan and all,

    Sorry, our friend 600Volts (the tram specialist) can't help this time...
    You will have to search at random through 110120 Germany pcs!
    It works, sometimes... :yes:
    Thankfully it's not France... :shoot:

    Regards,
    Manu :beer:

    But since this is in Germany I don't think you can be sure they would have the current US flag. It can't be earler, but I guess it might be much later than the "correct" period for the 46 star flag.

    No, my point was that a 46 star flag could well have been used in Germany long after July 1912, unless used by a US consulate or some other official place which would be sure to use the correct one. It's impossible to see who's flying this flag.
