Innsbruc k, Kettenbrücke
Kettenbrücke means “chain bridge” and so it is, on this card completely full of message, stamp, and postmarks seemingly everywhere. This is the first in a series of cards we will enter for Innsbruck, all of more or less the same vintage, and none with postmarks so clear that the date is easy to read. We think it’s the early 1920s. This card – Grade: 3

Code: 20503022
Price: $4.00

Innsbruck, Karwendelbahn, Finstertal-Viadukt

Code: 20503031
Price: $4.00
Wien, I., Museum mit Macia-Thecesien-Denkmal
We know the card is from 1946, though looks much older. The front: what you see. The reverse: stamp, a huge special “Befreiungsfeie Wiener Secession” postmark, the attribution “508 M.L.M.W.II”, and no handwriting. (Like a first-day-of-issue cover, though we don’t know.) Grade: 1

Code: 20503032
Price: $6.00
Wien – Schonbrunn Palace, multiple views
This Luxus-Kunstdruck No. 502 postcard was not mailed conventionally, but on the back it has three identical stamps: (A) upper left, stamp with 1933 Kunstlerhaus Wien” postmark; (B) upper middle, another of the same stamp with full but hard to read circular postmark; and (C) upper right, that stamp has a larger Kongresshaus Wien postmark. It’s almost as though a visitor bought the card and then made their way through the compound and had stamps and postmarks affixed as they went along. But we can’t guarantee that. Grade: 3

Code: 20503033
Price: $11.00
Fuschl am See
