This is the latest "Leipziger Fair" tinnie I own.

I have most years' Spring and Fall festival issues from 1922 through 1937. I posted most of them about 100 miles back in this thread.

All but the very earliest ones advertise the next fair (festival). For instance, the one shown here is for Spring (Fruehjahr) 1937, and on the back it gets in a plug for the Fall (Herbst) event. It was originally painted bright red, vestiges of which you can still see.

Most of these "tinnies" have famous makers. They ALL have serial numbers.
