May Day Items
Hello all - I started this thread to see what fellow collectors may have in their collections related to East German May Day documents.
I will start this thread off with May Day invitation card from 1952. The person who owned this May day rally card sat in block "D", row "10" at the Karl-Engels Platzes main grandstand. |

Re: May Day paper items
Ralph,
I recognize the artwork on these last two cards as also being used for badges for the years cited (I have the '54 and some of the later badges). Nice to see some documentation that could be coupled with the badges. :thumbsup Greg

Re: May Day paper items
Ralph,
Going back to what I said in post #4, here is an image of the badges that go with the '54 and '56 invitations. The image quality is poorer than normal as these were taken/separated from a much larger image I used in the past.
