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?

No 35 - 's-Hertogenbosch

No 27 - Eindhoven

Despite having other things on her mind, Heleen from The Netherlands sent me this card of Eindhoven train station to add to my clock collection.  Thanks Heleen.

I like this modern clock face - 

No 25 - Groninger Hoogfepunfen

Heleen from the Netherlands sent me this collection of clocks

The third tower also has a sun dial as a bonus!

No 13 - A tiny clock

Heleen from The Netherlands sent me this wonderful view of The Hague whoch has a tiny clock on iot.  The clock is on the tower of the Ridderzaal. 

The Ridderzaal (Hall of Knights) is the main building of the 13th century Binnenhof in The Hague, Netherlands. It is used for the state opening of Parliament on Prinsjesdag, when the Dutch monarch drives to Parliament in the Golden Carriage and delivers the speech from the throne. It is also used for official royal receptions, and interparliamentary conferences.

One of the stamps Heleen used was this New Year's Eve one from 2013/14 and, of course, it has a clock.  In fact, its clock is larger than the one on the card.

No 9 - Mail Art

Heleen from the Netherlands sent me a card in this super envelope:-
