Advent calendar : beware buying from photo's | I found this on ebay, and being curious for the cut-outs, I bought it. The seller did not show the "Zweckfom Adventskalnder No. 4064" top, nor the barcode on the back, and I thought it would be of the 1950-1960s. So beware !!!! And always ask for extra photo's and detailed description. |
