Mr Punch and Judy vintage postcard and English nutcracker

Here is one vintage Punch and Judy theme postcard. Mr Punch is hugged by a little girl.
Postcard from Germany, posted in 1898. Found just by coincidence, while looking for old street views of Polish cities and towns.  I could not help myself purchasing it and presenting here. It's absolutely charming. Anyone interested a little bit in old fairy tales can easily notice that there is one more interesting issue about this postcard - name Haensel refers to Brothers Grimm's "Hansel and Gretel" story .... .

Wszyscy jesteśmy poszukiwaczami skarbów....

Wszyscy jesteśmy poszukiwaczami skarbów. Ja uwielbiam skarby pocztówkowe, ale nie zawsze jest mi dane, abym mogła spokojnie tych skarbów poszukać. Tutaj moja małą przygoda z Wilna i kilka przemyśleń na ten temat. Czy spotkaliście się z podobną szorstkością ze strony sprzedawców staroci.

We are all treasure-hunters. I adore postcard treasures but I am not always allowed to look for them calmly in peace. Here is my my little adventure from Wilnius - Lithuania and my thoughts on the subject.  Did you ever experience this some kind of roughness from the antique sellers (especially on the flea markets)?

meixner.de vintage postcard auctions stopped

Something bad happened (death) and meixner.de auctions stopped. I am very sad because I love these auctions, cards are really great and customer  service kind and rapid.

Several weeks ago, while trying to access the latest auction I found this information

Z powodu śmierci, aukcje na jednym z moich ulubionych portali zostały wstrzymane. To bardzo smutna wiadomość.
