Ampelmännchen from the GDR
The caption on this card is in German, which we translate roughly as: “Designed in 1961 by Charles Peglau they should be replaced by 1990 after the reunification of their colleagues in the West. After protests from East and West, they were allowed to remain in the lights.” But the card was mailed from Russia in 2013 with three stamps and two large postmarks. Grade: 3
