<div id="ygrps-yiv-67034250">Hi.<br/>
Thanks for ID&#39;ing Hoefen.  It was just off the map I looked at, and <br/>
cropped off the online maps I posted.<br/>
<br/>
As I looked more deeply at the postcard I posted for the Mutzenich <br/>
delivery, I noticed that the printed postcard blanks themselves were <br/>
printed from sometime earlier than 1919.  This is because the date <br/>
filled in to the right of the Montjoie straight line stamp has &quot;32&quot; on <br/>
top of the &quot;191...&quot; Assuming the printing was done with 191... to last <br/>
a number of years, at least until 1920, I&#39;ll be it was printed long <br/>
before 1919.  Looks like the railway had a lot less business over the <br/>
years than it anticipated, when the quantity of cards needed to be <br/>
printed was calculated.  By 1932, they were using 15 year old <br/>
postcards!<br/>

&gt; Len, Hoefen is 2km SSE of Monschau. just to the east of the <br/>
Perlenbach River <br/>
&gt; which flows north to meet the Rur a tad SW of Monschau. It&#39;s a <br/>
fairly <br/>
&gt; dispersed village halfway between Kalterherberg and Rohren (the <br/>
latter is <br/>
&gt; 3km S of E of Monschau).<br/>
