German Photo Postcard Tattoo Lady Circus Freak Sideshow circa 1910 E Schmidt For Sale

German Photo Postcard Tattoo Lady Circus Freak Sideshow circa 1910 Ernst Schmidt
This is an old photo postcard that came out of an album belonging to a WWI German army veterinarian named Wilhelm Elfmann - please check my other sales for more postcards (and eventually photos) from that same album.  Most of the cards in the album dated from 1907 to 1918, so this card probably dates to around 1909 or 1910.  The card shows a fully tattoo’d lady, probably a Circus sideshow performer.  It is a photo that is printed on regular cardboard paper.  The card measures 3 1/2” by 5 1/2” and is postally unused.  It was published by Nordische Kunstanstalt Ernst Schmidt Lübeck.  It is in very good condition with no notable defects at all.This is a wonderful image - quite the amazing assortment of tattoos...... sold by sale with and a reasonable starting price ..... Please click on any photo in order to enlarge…….and please be sure to view my other sales for more interesting vintage and antique items, all collected from a number of good quality local estates, including the other postcards from the German WWI album…..Canadian buyers, please note that although we offer shipping through Champlain, NY for our American customers, we are a registered business located in Canada and must therefore charge applicable GST/HST/PST to Canadian buyers - please read further to understand our shipping methodology and note all costs so that there is no misunderstanding when rating shipping costs post-sale..........

I am now shipping to my US clients through USPS services. I am located in Canada but I now have a carrier service to bring my parcels directly across the border on Wednesdays to be shipped out of the USPS postal outlet in Champlain, N.Y. In addition to the actual shipping cost, I do charge a $1.50 handling fee to help offset the cost of this special US service and new packaging for this piece. Please note that even with the handling fee that it is less expensive and is a quicker service than using Canada Post.

In order to expedite your item with the other items that I have sold on Sunday evening, I would require your Paypal payment by Monday at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time.

PLEASE NOTE: For items which sell over $200.00, I must ship to my U.S. clients using Canada Post, this is due to customs regulations.

To my Canadian clients, I use Canada Post for shipping, as I am based in Canada - legally, I am not permitted to ship to you through the US, so do not rely on the US shipping calculator for costs.

To my International clients I can ship by either Canada Post or by USPS (in order to use USPS for intl. clients - the items must sell for under $200.00).

Please feel free to write with any inquiries in regards to cost of shipping to you.

I would request any client to get in touch with me upon winning an item, who is NOT able to pay by Monday at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, so I can get an idea of when to expect your payment.
