Tinnies Leipzig Fair Tinnie Database

[Ralph A]

This next series of two dozen or more posts deserves a thread of their own. My Leipzig Fair collection. It's incomplete; I've been working on it for years.

Note on that last one - and going forward - many advertise on their reverses the next fair's dates.

This one gets in a pitch for the maker's other wares as well.
