An exceptional beautiful specimen of this difficult stamp,if the cancellation is genuine !
I am a more casual collector of the early issues of the german states.So I am not really famillar with the
single-circle cancels.How can one see from what year the cancellation dates from ?
The postcard is very nice,but does not show a scene from 1880.
Carl Benz showed the first motor car in 1885.The first electrical street-car service,built by Siemens & Halske,started in 1881 in Lichterfelde.
The type of the motor car and the street car on this card are most likely from the late 1920´s or early 1930´s.

Railway enthusiasts cover commemorating 3 countries railways - Luxembourg, France & Germany, on this days 42 years ago. They used the 1976 Europa 6 franc Soup Tureen stamp issued on May 3rd, 1976. I would have gone back 10 years & used Scott #442-443: the 5th Int'l Philatelic Exhibition of Luxembourg Railroad Men issue for this cover. Although I suppose the soup tureen could have been used in a dining car! |

On this day in 2014, this was sent to me from Santa Barbara. 
I love that the sender used two thematically related stamps: Scott 2023 (Ponce de Leon) from 1982, and Scott 2616 (World Columbian Stamp Expo) from 1992. Very thoughtful of them. |

On this day last year, a co-worker and his family was back home in Belgrade. They sent me this: 
They are back in Serbia again this year. Maybe I will get an equally cool cover for the Postmark Calendar. |
