@dar76124, this is an interesting piece as the rev inscription translates roughly as "I never sleep". The seated and somewhat haggard woman is nestled between coin cabinets.

The proprietor, Robert Ball, was a coin dealer that lived between 1866 and 1904 AD. I am only able to find one other example of this German store card being sold, although with further digging, you should be able to find other examples. The attribution is Schmidt 90. Here is a link to the Heinrich Winter Auction #102 (April 2007) with this piece (Lot #2101):
