Belgian Milk wagon (LOC)

    I guess actually Flemish milk wagon. Dog drawn I see. And the chap in uniform does not so much look like he is making a purchase as he is noting something down. Perhaps he is an inspector of some sort?

    Getting a ticket for parking, or not being in possession of a licence to sell unpastuerised milk?
  • Willem said:
    Mystery solved. The inspector is writing her a ticket for serving milk from a crooked vial. This is revealed by the following postcard: www.flickr.com/photos/postkaartjes/438959601/ The inspector is measuring whether the vial she serves her customers milk from, does indeed serve half a litre or a litre, whatever the legal standard is.

    "Girl Inspector" official title?
  • dracpod said:
    awesome!
  • technogeo said:
    The manual the woman is holding appears to have a German title. A-20B Data IV. VORDERKUNZ (?) (forward post?) It may be an obsolete technical word. Her left index finger is badly bruised and bandaged. The man is wearing an Auxiliary Police badge. There's probably a story here.
