Military uniform trading cards on ebay
My German isn't that good, but it clearly says 1994 on the back
I have over 70 different albums but I do not recognize.
dav2no1, Good catch. };-)
My poor brain was so busy tryna decipher the German Fraktur typeface starting at the top of the card that it probably would have taken me quite a while to notice the numbers "1994." >8-0
dgirardin, Given the date of 1994, these are likely to be reproductions of G. Zuban cigarette trading cards.
Georg Zuban (translation by Google Translate):
*snip*
Georg Zuban ( May 5, 1847 in Senta an der Tisza Hungary, † January 6, 1909 in Munich ) was a cigarette manufacturer who founded a company in Neuhofen .
In 1882 he founded the company that processed tobacco from Serbia into cigarettes. Among other things, he supplied the Bayrischer Hof .
His first plant produced 80,000 cigarettes in a day shift. From 1912 the company was producing 20,000 cigarettes an hour. From 1945 to 1975 , Reemtsma and from 1975 to 2009 Philip Morris produced cigarettes at the Neuhofen site.
Georg Zuban's grave is in the 18th section of the forest cemetery.
Today the so-called WerkStadt Sendling is located on the site , an "idea factory" with studios, offices, halls for production, storage and logistics, apartments as well as a fitness studio and a factory café on a total of approx. 60,000m².
