Description:

1) An original WWII era Volkswagen KdF-Wagen 32 page advertising booklet and appears to be from the late 1930s. The "KdF" in KdF-Wagen stands for Kraft durch Freude which translates to "strength through joy". In 1947 Kdf-Wagen simply became the Beetle, perhaps the best selling car of all time. 2) Complete set of three 1939 International Automobile and Motorcycle Exhibition stamps attached to an official exhibit postcard size Dresdner Bank advertisement. The exhibit stamps are on one side with the Dresdner Bank information on the other side.

Rating Definition:

1) Fine. Overall there is minor aging and wear with separation along the fold of the front and back covers. A couple pages feature hand written markings. 2) Fine. There is a large "X" lightly marked in pencil on the the Dresdner Bank advertisement. The stamps have clear images.
