Oooh. Thanks for sharing all these pretties. Think your little green flower would be a forget-me-not. A couple of my Hours cameos, although...

That gives me enough of an idea to satisfy my curiosity. Interesting piece.
Why does the card your avatar guy is holding up have 'you' on it twice? (OK, I know, but I saw it right off.)
Guessing Bavarian, a broad term, probably of minimal help. I would put it a bit earlier than bluumz's estimate, pre-WWII, but I'm definitely no...
