Many years ago, I used to collect stamps. I found the background material that the philatelic buro included in the covers was much more interesting than the stamps themselves. When I realised that my collection was becoming more and more a collection of those cards, I decided I might as well just collect cigarette cards instead. But I digress.The card turned up along with a few others on Ebay one day a few years ago. I guess that someone in Munich was clearing out the attic and found them. I have never seen any others. One album of the cards has "always" been known about. The second turned up also on Ebay a few years ago. Someone in the east of Germany was clearing out the attic and found it. They obviously didn't know what they had as it was in the section for post-1945 cards. I missed it as I only check the pre-1945 section. I think it went for over 1000 Euros which must have pleased the seller. They think it belonged to someone from Munich who moved to the east in the 1930s. (Eifro was a small company in Munich and probably wouldn't have sold cards anywhere else).Whilst we're on the subject, here is another card from Solidarität cigarettes of Berlin. They were also closed down by the national socialists. Doesn't Stalin look young :-)
