Patriotic Bedspread and Pillowcases (Item KCLOTH 2-1; WILHELM 8-12) |
|||||
| DESCRIPTION: Here is something great when it comes to unusual and beautiful. It is a bedspread and matching pillowcases that once graced the bedchamber of some landsman or Frau, who was ultrapatriotic to the Fatherland. The bedspread is 5 feet long by 68 inches wide, and the two matching pillowcases measure 18 x 13 inches each. The Prussian eagle and a bust patriot of Kaiser Wilhelm are shown throughout the checkerboard pattern. It is absolutely stunning and in beautiful shape. Imagine your Germanophile bedroom setting with your bed made up with these absolutely beautiful household appurtenances. This is Teutonic greatness personified.
PRICE: $495.00; for the set |

Small Imperial Flag in Beautiful Condition (Item KCLOTH 2-2) |
|||||
| DESCRIPTION: Here is an absolutely original Reichskriegsfahne which measures 24 x 14 inches. This size was generally the type that was carried by German officers of the Imperial Navy or Army, and often decorated the walls behind their field desks as a sign of patriotism and service to the Reich. This is made of the same material, linen, as the large versions are. The edge is of coarse bunting with rope. The condition is perfect and the size is ideal for the collector who just does not have the room for one of the 12- to 14-foot service flags. This we consider a real honey of a flag; so much in demand, but seldom found on this size. Again, this is 100-percent original and not one of those cheap copies that are showing up. You will treasure this little war flag as a beautiful memento of the heroic time. By the way, this was also the size carried by airmen and pilots and sported on airplanes in different positions when on the airfield for review.
PRICE: $485.00; original and rare |

Table Doily Depicting the Red Eagle of the Tirol (Item KCLOTH 2-3) |
|
| DESCRIPTION: This is a beautiful hand-embroidered doily depicting the red eagle (Rotesadler) of the German Tirol—the mountainous region in southern Germany. It’s about 8 inches in diameter with a fancy lace border. It is crafted in linen while the eagle is produced by hand embroidery with cotton thread. It dates probably in the 1890s up to possible 1930 or 1950. It’s just a beautiful representative piece of Imperial majestic heraldry.
PRICE: $125.00 |

Veterans’ Standard Krieger Verein “Prinz Heinrich von Preussen” (Item KCLOTH 2-4; VETS 2-10) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: This is a very beautiful veterans’ standard from Barkelsbv v. Umgegend which is probably a small town but the veteran that owned it was a sponsor of the regiment named after Prince Heinrich of Prussia. Heinrich was Kaiser Wilhelm’s brother and it surely must have been an illustrious regiment to bear a name such as this. It was the elite regiments that bore the names of the royals. The obverse side has the Prussian eagle as its central theme and in the corners are the battle honors of the regiment. Its accomplishments at that point date from the Franco-Prussian War. It depicts victories at Orleans, Paris, Sedan, and Metz. All these battles mentioned bring forth memories to the military historian of deed victorious and battle glorious and of course this is why these standards were of such importance to the regiment’s veterans and they rallied around them at every reunion and warrior-day parade. When not before marching vets the standards hung in a place of honor in the veterans’ hall. This flag measures 53 x 46 inches and of course it shows some fraying after close to 100 years of the constant rugged use in the ceremonies of gallantry that were constantly a part of Germanic military heritage. The workmanship is superb and typical of the labors of love demonstrated by the ladies of the Verein who undertook the difficult task of making these standards by hand. The reverse of the piece shows the figure of “Germania” (is that why we think so much of it?). She, of course, is the spirit of the German lands as she stands along the Rhine with the uplifted Prussian crown. She also clutches the sword of the Germanic empire; oak leaves surround her symbolizing the strength of the mighty oak! Above her is a scroll with the words: “Gehorsam, Treue, Tapferkeit,” “Obedience, Loyalty, Courage.” Underneath is says: “Des Deutschen Kriegers Ehrenkleid,” “The German fighters’ honorable cloak.” Germania has the Prussian eagle embroidered on her bosom and she sits on the lion-motif throne. This is a rare piece of Teutonic splendor from a better age; an age of Imperial glory, a refined age, an age of cultural excellence, an age personified by this visage of GERMANIA.
PRICE: $2,900.00 |
