This is an original Max Stumpe Salesman sample card, so they are in great unused condition, but they may be dusty from storage.
Originated in Germany in 1940's.
I have found these wonderful old buttons from Old salesman sample cards. The are most likely 1930's and 1940's. Many of the buttons are from Max Stumpe. I found an interesting bit from Wikpedia: After 1945 about 18,000 displaced persons from the region around Gablonz (now Jablonec and Nisou in the Czech Republic) settled on the site of the former explosives factory and rebuilt the jewelry and glass industry (Gablonzer Bijouterie), which was left behind in their home country. From the background of the expulsion and resettlement, the name of the district of Kaufbeuren-Hart changed to Neugablonz.
All of my vintage glass items imported by a gentlemen that traveled throughout Europe in the 80's buying out old glass jewelry factories, remnants of family-run businesses. He would purchases everything from them. He spoke about crawling through dirty basements and climbing up in dusty attics to find wonderful treasures. He exported many many items from Kaufbeuren. He retired about 20 years ago, I bought the remainder of this stock and it has just been sitting storage! His finds have now become your finds! I am excited to bring you new treasures every week.
