Reich’s Spiegel (Mirror) (Item KMISC 2-1) |
||||||
| DESCRIPTION: This is a very handsome mirror crafted in leather. It’s similar to the work found on the giant chair at Item WILHELM 6-1.
The work is reminiscent of the beautiful leather craft of Hulbe of Hamburg, who was the master of the art in the Kaiser’s era. The mirror itself is very heavy and for this reason we feel it’s from the 1870s or 1880s. The embossed Imperial eagle is of the Hohenzollern style with the Royal Prussian colors of black and white in its chest. The quality and style of this piece makes us think it was for a member of royalty or the nobility of Prussia; possibly for a hunting lodge because of the rustic look of the handle and the leather stitching that secures the glass. Some of the leather ties are broken way, but the piece is holding up well. The mirror itself is about 5 3/4 inches in diameter and the entire object is 10 inches tall. There is some minor damage at the tip of the handle, but it’s not bad and does not detract from the overall great appearance of the piece. It will look great laid on your Hohenzollern dressing table!

Book Das Buch von den preussischen Königen (Item KMISC 2-2) |
|||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: The Book of German Kings is a very nice little book of the finest quality by D. Bernhard Rogge in 1891. It has the story of each German king, emperor, and kaisers from Frederick I through Frederick Wilhelm I, to Frederick the Second (the Great!); many more right up to the warrior king Wilhelm I and his son Frederick III and the one most familiar to us all, King Wilhelm II, Deutscher Kaiser. All the portraits are extra sharp and beautiful. The book measures 6 1/4 x 9 1/4 inches and is 1 1/2 inches thick. It comprises 544 pages of pictures and text. It has beautiful raised-relief portrait of Wilhelm II on the cover.

Boy’s Military Tunic Made to Scale (Item KMISC 2-3; WWI 10-4; KTOY 1-9) |
|||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: This is a great, little uniform tunic probably ordered to be tailored by a proud father who was himself a soldier of the Kaiser Wilhelm I or Wilhelm II era. We are not quite sure of the exact period. We do believe that because of the type of the numerals on the shoulder boards that the regiment that it is representative of is a Prussian artillery regiment probably the King of Prussia Volunteer Corps (von Lützowiches), but we also reserve the secondary opinion that it could be an Uhlan regiment. In any case, it’s a period piece in good condition except for one small tear in the fabric at the back of one sleeve about an inch long. All the military copper-colored buttons are intact and present. The gold-bullion trim sets off the blue fabric making this a very sharp little tunic. I’m sure the little-guy soldier who wore this made his dad as proud as a peacock as he marched back and forth across the living room to the tune of “Prussia’s Gloria” played on the phonograph player. This is truly a great and sentimental treasure of yesteryear.
