Hitler's Mercedes Car (Item AH 4-1) |
|||||||
DESCRIPTION: This is probably considered the ultimate in German toy-collectors' dreams. Although parts are missing and the figures are well worn, this is one of the neatest relics of the era. Hitler in Eslastolin or Lineol composition with three SS guards that ride along in one of the famous Mercedes armored touring cars. It's 100 percent original. There are no markings on the car or the figures. The fender flags are missing as is the Mercedes hood ornament and something from the grill. The car was once mechanical, but no longer runs. The Hitler figure is probably from another set, but all in all we have here a fantastic and desirable relic of the Reich that is both dramatic and historically important. With 42 years in this business, our curator/researcher has seen only one other.

Eva Braun Compact Case (Item AH 4-5) |
||||
DESCRIPTION: This is an extremely fine little compact that was the property of Eva Braun, whose love for Adolf Hitler placed her in the center of the turbulent history of the Third Reich. She was called his mistress, and at the purported end of the it all, his wife. The case is possibly silver although its inner lining is not. This is probably because silver tarnishes and would necessitate frequent cleaning. The little opener is set with tiny garnets or perhaps rubies. The 'EB' and the swastikas are silver with enameled centers. The 'E-B' is one of the usages of the logo favored by Eva. The book by Mark Griffith, Liberated Adolf Hitler Memorabilia, Vol. II shows the use of this particular logo on the items in her "French ivory" overnight case. This differs from the usual butterfly design, but definitely is the later pattern. The compact measures 3 ½ X 1 ¾ inches and is 1 ¾ inches thick. This is a very beautiful item as well as historically very important.

Adolf Hitler Tapestry (Item AH 4-6) |
||
DESCRIPTION: This is a machine-woven tapestry circa 1930's showing the Führer in the pre-1933 election uniform know as Der Kampfzeit Tracht, the uniform of the Time of Struggle. The likeness is phenomenal. It measures 16 inches across and is 18 inches high. The soft pastel-looking finish is quite pleasing and it certainly could be said that this is a very rare art object of the turbulent history of the NSDAP. They don't come better. It should be framed and would be a great center piece in a Nazi-Party collection.
PRICE: Special Offering: $850.00 |
