Austria: Puch Moped

Last Tuesday I got three postcards from Austria.

One of them shows an old advertising for Puch mopeds. Puch is a manufacturing company located in Graz. It was founded in 1899 and produced automobiles, bicycles, mopeds and motorcycles. Later it became a subsidiary of the large Steyr-Daimler-Puch conglomerate. The mopeds produced by Puch were especially popular in the 1970s and 1980s, but although the production ended in 1985 they retain a popularity until today.


A matching stamp showing a Puch moped owned by the Austrian Post was used on the card. It was issued on 8th August 2020 and got a postmark from Eisenerz, a city in Styria where a big motorcycle enduro event is held every year.


Thank You very much Anita!
