Hi to everyone,
my name is Marco and I write from Rome, Italy.
I collect thema stamps on Geology, Fossils, Minerals, and so on..., and then I have another collection of postal history about Vesuvian Funicular.
With a postcard of Vesuvius I have a problem that I hope you could help to solve, and this the reason I'm here.
In this postcard (probably dated 1885-1899) I have any information about the exact shipping date, because the stamp is postmarked by a linear postmark, without a date.

I have only the arrival postmark in Stuttgart, this one:

The seller who sold me this postcard said me the the date is 1895.
Why?
Is this a postmark used in Stuttgart only in 1895?
Thank you very much in advance for any help you could give me.
My best regards,
Marco
