I initially thought that this postcard was from Germany. But now I am not so sure - it could be Norway or Austria.

Can any of you read the text at the bottom of this postcard?

it says "Alt Hamburg, Schulgang - Hof" - so I'd say yes.

I'm not sure, but at a guess, I'd say Austria.
Definitely Germany.

TTT - I couldn't even see the text, thanks for deciphering it.

Patsy and MWG14 - thanks.
If you select the 2nd image then press + it will enlarge. Do I get BA?
I mean click on the picture with the magnifying glass after selection.
In case you've not googled it, Wolfie, the photographer is Heinrich von Seggern and the image is dated c. 1925.

TTT - I tried increasing the size and using a magnifying glass. I have problems with working out the actual letters in German.

Chris - thanks, it is a nice looking postcard and is worth approx £5.

Zebo, thanks for looking that up.

I am actually sorting them out so that they can be sold in Oxfam's online store. I sort them out at home and then upload them on the shop's PC.
