Very odd. The damage on the left suggests to me that someone "got creative" and put two postal cards together, possibly using another wax seal. If this were the case, m the card on top would have contained the franking.

Normally when franco is written even in script that means postage was paid.The wax seal is the personal seal of the sender most likely.

Since these are not prepaid postal cards, would the seal act as the guarantor of postage in this case?

This was sent to a well-known store, August Wahnschaffe, of 18 Josephsplatz in Nürnberg.

Wahnschaffe produced many interesting poster stamps to advertise their goods:

Just a thought, but maybe the postcard was used as a (adres)label attached to a crate or a sack.

The damage on the left could have been from a perforation hole.

Kind regards,
