Some goodies, Steve. That topper looks like an oldie. Was the spelling with the j in Köbenhavn the old spelling perhaps?

Indeed it was, Stefan. As is the umlaut over the o. Kjöbenhavn or Kjøbenhavn became København in about 1906. The new spelling took a while to catch on, so can still be seen after 1906, but faded out by WWI.
