1939 Austria issued the first postal card with an imprinted stamp

Germany / Third Reich (1933-1945)

Austria issued the first postal card with an imprinted stamp on 1 October 1869. To commemorate its 70th anniversary, the above card was prepared for a planned exhibition to be held in Berlin. The exhibition, however, was cancelled because of war preparations. Consequently, the card was never formally issued, but a quantity was stolen from the State Printing Works in Wien after World War II by looters, and specimens thus came into the hands of collectors. The card was valued at 70 marks ($42) in the 1997 edition of the Michel Ganzsachen-Katalog Deutschland. This one was purchased via an Internet auction from a private individual for $3.75 in 1999.
