Deutsche Bundespost 200th Anniversary of the Barrel Organ (Drehorgel)

DEUTSCHE BUNDESPOST on 3 May 1990 issued a First Day Cover stamp marking the 200th anniversary of the barrel organ or Drehorgel. Special postmark cancellation originated from Bonn.

The maxim card is an Italian reproduction of an advertisement for the Liebig Company's Fleisch-Extract. The card depicts a street musician with barrel organ playing to a family in an Italian village while a circus monkey sits on the barrel organ.
