Description: Here we have a very rare 1930s German trade card for Alpen-Milch Trift (Alpine Milk Trift, a canned condensed milk product) that transforms into a tiny diorama scene of big game hunters in Africa stalking ostriches. Minty, unused, carefully stored flat condition. We have more trade cards from this series as well as many other pieces of vintage and antique ephemera in our store, to which we add new inventory daily, and we're always happy to combine shipping at actual cost. Vintage: circa 1930s (we have one of these cards with a date stamped on the interior of it from the 1930s -- see photo of date stamp from that card, which is not the listed card. The listed card has no date stamp.) Approximate Measurements: 4 5/8" x 2 5/8" A few translations of text appearing on the card:Card Front, on left and right margins: Hier knicken und fest nach ruckwarts biegen ("Make a crease here and bend backwards firmly")Card Interior, section on Series: "Series VIII: Hunts for Wild Animals 1. Image: The Hunt"Card Interior, enlarged bold text product info: "Alpine Milk Trift ... The rich, condensed milk with the fine, fresh aroma ... Alpine Milk" Condition: Our photographs reveal the condition best -- please enlarge and zoom in on them, and examine them carefully. We often add graphics such as arrows, circles, and text boxes to our photos to point out things of interest that might be hard to see, such as a price tag or maker's mark, as well as to highlight many condition flaws. You'll never find anything sticky, growing or otherwise gross on our ephemera, nor will you ever encounter anything with funky odors. This piece is in remarkable condition, especially considering its age. Very fresh and clean. Excellent color with no noticeable fading. As minty as any trade card from the 1930s can be.Rest assured that we will do all we can to ensure that your piece of ephemera arrives exactly as presented in our photos. We invest time and appropriate materials into shipping all of our ephemera. Most pieces are sent in envelopes that are sandwiched between cardboard before being sent as Priority or first-class parcels in non-bendable mailers, which ship at rates much higher than first-class letters. We never toss our ephemera into thin stationery envelopes with forever stamps stuck to them expecting the USPS to deliver them to you with great care.We consider funky odors (cigarette smoke, mildew, etc) to be an important part of a condition report. Corndogcache is a 100% non-smoking environment, and we'll let you know if any of our vintage items smell like it (or anything else) from activities they may have been involved in before they came to us.The Fine Print:We expect payment within 1 day of purchase. If you're waiting for other auctions to end so that you can combine shipping, shoot us a message to let us know.If you're unable to pay within terms, please reach out with your Plan B. Things happen. Especially these days. So just shoot us a message.We don't accept buyer-remorse returns but we will grant you the use of our description and photos so that you can re-ebay the item yourself.Although we don't accept buyer-remorse returns, reach out if you're unhappy with your purchase! If we messed up -- everybody does -- give us a chance to fix it. We promise it was unintentional, and we'll do what we can to make it right.
