Official Bronze Bowl from Foyer of a Government Building in Nuremberg (Item PARTEI 4-3; ART 15-3)

DESCRIPTION: This handsome bronze bowl is the type used in various government buildings throughout the Reich, and especially in the Reichsparteitag city of Nuremberg. The center design is the famous Parteitag eagle by Kurt Schmid-Emen. For an explanation of these eagles go to Item PARTEI 2-10. Here you will not only see similar eagles in bronze, but also you will see the story of how we managed to procure several great bronze articles from a company that simply refused to surrender any of the articles of Third Reich artistic value to the conquerors. The articles were safely hidden away by this courageous firm located in the town of Gleiwitz; a town known for iron and bronze art pieces for hundreds of years. The particular company was the Bergwerk Hutten, but it is called by a completely different name now. The town had a fabulous history. Be sure to read it on our pages. The bowl is large and in genuine bronze patinated in a greenish-bronze color. The feet are “Siegrunes” similar as used by the Hitler Youth and the . The diameter of the bowl is about 10 1/2 inches and it is about 1 1/2 inches deep. The eagle is in great raised detail fully dimensional with a wingspan of above 6 inches and is about 6 1/2 inches high. This is really a handsome relic of the “Dritten Reich.” The bowls would be placed in a setting of honor seen as one would enter one of the NS buildings and one would put his personal card in it and the cards would be collected on the hour. There are no markings on the piece as to the manufacturer, but it is definitely by the famous Hutten Bergwerk foundry in Gleiwitz. We were able to procure four of these beautiful bowls and when they are gone there will be no more unless you are able to get one from a veteran. “Anything is possible!” We have priced them very reasonably. PRICE: $1,350.00

Huge Hand Carved Nuremberg Stadium Eagle (Item PARTEI 4-4)

DESCRIPTION: Here is a stupendous carving that replicates the Gigantic Stadium Eagles from the Reich Parteitag (party congress) held at the ancient city of Nuremberg. Two of these massive eagles graced the pillars or plinths in the Luitpoldhain section of the party buildings that form the Reich Parteigalände or party compounds of the NSDAP (Nazi Party). These beautiful and ultra dramatic rallies were held in the years 1923 to 1938 in the Luitpoldhain field. And the Zeppelin field.The famed sculptor Kurt Schmid Ehmen designed, sculpted and cast two massive eagles or “Deutsche Adler”.  We are not sure if this is the original eagle carving that he might have used as a model for the gigantic pieces   but in speculative theory we might even say that it could be an Entwurf or original draft for the stadium eagles coming from the studio of Prof. Ehmen. The eagle was found in a shop in Nuremberg in 2004. Then again it might have been carved by some masterful wood carver for some special exhibition of Volkskunst “Art of the Folk”. Could this have been executed for the purpose of special display sitting above a door to an SA or SS headquarters or Kasserne? We may never know but we do know that the Schmidt Ehmen Eagles made quite a stir among the German people when first unveiled in a” Special Somber Ceremony” almost immediately various pictures, bronze statues, plaster of paris and wooden depictions of them were produced and sold. If you go to PARTEL 2-10 you can see original bronze castings that we unearthed in Germany. These were the much beloved souvenir of the rallies (expensive in their time). The man who we purchased this big one from had two of a smaller size in wood ¼ as big. We bought and sold one of these a few months back. These eagles were revered symbols of a strong and vibrant people whose agenda was the return of the mighty Reich of “Karl Der Grosse” a Reich that brought forward once more the glory and majesty of ancient Rome but ruled and governed by the “Herrenvolk”.The ideological heirs of the Germanic“Imperium”. If anything represented all of this to the  German people it was envisioned and personified in the visage of this pair of great stadium eagles. This piece is magnificently carved with all the magnificent detail of the Ehmen originals. It is truly huge.  The wood employed seems to be European oak. We cannot imagine any relic of the Reich being so prodigiously impressive and beautiful. Of all the various art pieces of the Third Reich nothing, absolutely nothing would be more Germanic than this wooden masterpiece of Volkskunst. Sizes noted: From bottom of the plinth to the top of the eagles head measures 47 ½ inches (almost 4 foot high). The base is 21 x 13 x 6 inches deep. The wings each are 27 inches wide and 34 inches long from top to bottom the swastika is 5 inches all around. The wreath diameter is 16 inches. You can see we have offered various some size perspectives in some of the pictures. We set a standard helmet beside the eagle in one picture and one of our bronze eagles in another picture or two. This is a great Third Reich relic; possibly the greatest! It is extremely heavy and as you can see HUGE. It will take special crating and truck shipping or by sea container if it goes back to Europe. The price is quite reasonable when one considers that you would be buying a fantastically important and significant relic of the Reich; gone but not forgotten! $15,500.00   This is possibly the greatest bargain we have ever offered.  PRICE:  $15,500.00   This is possibly the greatest bargain we have ever offered.

Austrian SS Plaque from the Reich Party's Rally at Nuremberg (Item PARTEI 4-5 & SS 34-5)
DESCRIPTION: This s a very handsome looking plaque depicting an SS trooper in profile. The soldier shown is an Austrian Allegemeine member of the Shutz Staffel (SS). This is perceived due to the fact that the SS symbol which would be a decal on an actual helmet is shown on the left side. We have included among our historical pictures here a picture from a book that shows the Austrian style M-16 helmet with the decals reversed. At the “Reichsparteitag” each year, SS groups and all other NSDAP functionaries from all over the greater German Reich would join in the grandiose ceremonies and this plaque commemorates and is a memorial to the party rally at Nuremberg in 1934 from the 5th to the 10th of September (This is so noted on the small plaque below the bust portrait). The silver plated plaque is mounted on a piece of black stained oak measuring altogether 11 ½ x 7 ½. The actual bust measures 7 ½ high and 5 inches across the widest part. This truly represents Austria’s contingent at the greatest of all the yearly rallies. Very dramatic looking and certainly extremely rare. We are offering it at - - - PRICE: SOLD

Memory Plaque from the Reichs Party Rallies at Nuremberg (Item PARTEI 4-6)
DESCRIPTION: This is one of the souvenirs that were sold on the grounds of the Reichsparteitag in Nuremberg during the annual rallies. The people attending these “earth shattering” events naturally had to have a souvenir of their attendance, whether it be a simple scarf, a key fob, postcards, a paper flag or something as expensive as a bronze eagle by Schmidt Ehmen. Pictures of Hitler were, of course, the main selling item and came in many different shapes, sizes and artistic modes. This one that we offer here is a particularly nice one in its presentation. It has a picture of Hitler under beveled glass and is set into an elaborate frame in metal with an eagle at its top, folded flag like tapestries surround the inner wreath of laurel. Under the picture is a frame that has within a legend that says, “Ehre Seinem Andenken!” -- Honor Your Memories! The plaque is typically mounted on a black board that measures 7" x 10".  This is a very handsome souvenir plaque, important historically and a great collectible of the great Party rallies. PRICE: $565.00
