I'm learning a lot myself here. Its a fascinating way to look at pieces, that I hadn't already covered. I want to see how spurious this topic can become...........  I guess this could be another way of collecting notgeld for some people. Look for different companies or types of companies etc etc... Keep collecting and keep smiling!

.....and things like that, make the notes even more interesting of course. Some collectors like notes from places in Germany that they have visited.........or notes from a name of a place that is a family name etc etc......

@jbuck - Yes, indeed. The early 1920's (apart from the very long traditional historic biases) were a time that seemed to lay the foundations of the next few decades........and the path that history took. If only WWI had resolved real problems and had been the last war....... The German notgeld issues have definitely improved my History! They are a lesson in themselves.
