ECUSSONS DE BELGIQUE

Series information :

Name : Ecussons de Belgique
Date of issue : +/- 1955
Number of cards : ? Numbers go over 800, but not sure if all cards were actually issued

Company

This is a series of postcard size trade cards with on the one side the arms of a Belgian municipality and on the reverse a small text on the Brussels hotels (Métropole, Montagne, Plaza, Vauban) that issued the series, and advertising for Brussels companies. At least 6 different advertising backs are known, there are probably more and I do not yet know whether the same arms have been issued with multiple backs.

On some cards it is mentioned that the cards could be obtained from the local stationary shops for 3 Belgian Francs.
