First of all I’m not sure if this is in the right thread but it’s a radiator badge believed to be from a car? I’m not too sure but has the writing around the edge "sieg heil unseren fuhrer" then has at the bottom 12 3 1938. I know that was when Germany invaded Poland but does anyone else have any info what this may have been used for if it’s genuine etc? Provenance was from a woman’s late husband captain Anstey who fought in Austria & Germany.

Thoughts on this one would be great. It’s also slightly bent in the middle.

It’s nice when something which has been eluding you for ages is added to your collection. My latest is one of those very distinctive wicker carriers for three 88mm rounds. The Germans must have used millions of them, but after the war all they could really be used for was firewood……as a result, they can be irritatingly hard to find, and if seen at Continental fairs can be ’silly money’.

Anyhow, this one turned up on French e-bay from a seller in Caen. Cost was reasonable ( but the postage wasn’t cheap - it’s big and heavy ) and it arrived full of dust, cobwebs, and ears of corn but it’s undamaged with no rot . No lid, sadly, but these were usually torn off on arrival at the front and discarded. I’ve seen loose lids at fairs in the past, so the project goes on…..:o

Hi,

I have got these two paper bags in my collection from the maker Carl Poellath. I know for sure the top bag is original, but the bottom one I’m not so sure with. I think it is original.

Any comment would be great.

Thanks
/Jonas
