An image or link to an item would make it clear what the question is about... but I don't see an image nor a link...

You can paste the image into a forum post. Open your image in Paint, select it, then copy to clipboard (Ctrl+C). Then paste it in the Forum message (Ctrl+V).

If it is an item that is on LD: put # + nnnnn (nnnn = the LD id number) in the forum message.

That looks like a modern reproduction, a collage of two vintage cards with photos.
Purely decorative, I think, given the size and pin holes.

These are real rarities that collectors love.
Views of European capitals, sent from ... China.
And then the size...
Wikipedia: The average size of a postcard these days is: 14.8 × 10.5 cm (aka A6). This size is in fact the international standard size of postcards. In the early days, postcards were smaller in size.
38 x 38 cm ... almost too big for the postman's bag.
I also thought it was normal that the recipient's address should be on the non-image side. Initially only address and postage allowed on the back, later the back was divided into 2 parts where a message could be written in the left part. With these postcards, everything is on the front.

They are certainly not maximum cards. After all, for a maximum card (postage and cancellation on the image side) there must be a connection between the stamp and the image. Usually even stamped with a stamp that was specially made in the same theme.

I am also curious if a collector or administrator of postcards can tell more about it.

I think you can already add them in the Postcards section, and then add a link here (# + LD number).

thumbtack holes

Common in postcards. Whoever got one usually decorated his bulletin board with it for a while. Both at home and at the workplace.

I assume the visible stamps at the top are really pasted stamps, with a cancel on them? Otherwise they are indeed decorative modern enamel signs with a combined reproduction on them and not postcards.

Indeed, unfortunately ...
If it really was a metal postcard with original stamps canceled in China, I think it would have been a real collector's item.

Still, as a reproduction, also nice for in the hobby room :)

A metal postcard / postcard ... that's for a laugh ... Thinking logically ...
A picture postcard or postcard with those dimensions (38 x 38) - in which mailbox does that go.
Not in Belgium (26.5) and not in NL (35 cm).
Just 'cobbled together' by an amateur with god (or fill in yourself) knows what purpose...
In LD terms: home industry.

fazerco
Don't worry about it any further.
But what do you mean by 'modern made old'?
And available in markets.
And before it hit the 'markets', where was it available?
More like a souvenir or something
Have a look bok enamel signs.
The biggest 'hope' has something 'commercial' about it.

buizer a lot of questions for someone who doesn't care.

Real old enamel signs are worth money and hard to find.
You see that a lot in markets, but google carte postale emaille ff and you will find the website where you can buy them.
