No 39 - At least a Third Hand Clock
Few people (if any) send me more clock cards than Heleen in the Netherlands and while I was away in Scotland she sent me lots. This was one of my favourites and just had to get my clock blog active again.
Heleen found it at a postcard collectors' market and as soon as she saw the clock on it she decided it had to come to me. She sent me a note with it showing the outcome of her research into its history. The postmark shows it was first posted in Argentina in around 1909, the year my mother was born, 106 years ago. Despite the address being beautifully written it could not be found! (aan't adres onbekend - Dutch for 'Address unknown')
Heleen set me wondering about lots of other things like was it only men to whom postcards were sent or did you add an 'a' or an 'ita' to a woman?
