Post and Trade Cards
It was not my intention to include a card collection and it is not very large.
But, when at a fair and nothing specific to be found, I sometimes look into the Christmas cards, and when one takes my fancy, I cannot resist it. Recognize the feeling !!!
First are listed logo's and signatures found on the cards and I have added some links to informative sites.

These are, I think, gift cards in the shape of a clog.
They have been made by children in the "Lieve-Vrouwebewaarschool, Opgeeistenstraat 62, Ronse" a nursery school in Ronse, a town in Belgium.
Texts are in Dutch, here is translation:
Two are for "Blessed and Happy New Year", dated 1958,
"Blessed and Happy Year" (forgot the "new") for 1959,
while the one for 1960 says "Blessed Christmas".

On the inside are texts "Peace on earth", "Merry Christmas", "Blessed and Happy New Year", while one has no text,
and two have a picture of Jesus.

They were together with self made crèches and ornaments.

The nativity series below are all highlighted with white and mica (?) glitter, e.g. the roof of the stable, in the landscape, ...; besides the "Stampado in Italia" also "Imprimé en Italie" and "Printed in Italy". Nos. 3 and 7 are missing, so I presume it is a series of 8. Not very old, but rather attractive with the extra decoration.

On the five cards below some of the important figures are cut-outs and attached to the card separately with a small strip of white cardboard sothat they stand out. Highlights with silver glitter. Each has the logo "J.D.A Paris Marque Déposée", all the same ref. no. "616" and "Imprimé en France". I have seen another horizontal one, so probably is a series of 6. A few other postcards of this publisher or printer in this collection have the same cut-outs technique.
