20-106 PRESENTATION
SILVER DESK NOTE BOOK AND PAPER PAD TO PRINZ ALFONS OF
BAVARIA. Often we feel like Prinz
Alfons is an "old friend" of ours. Over time we
have been pleased to offer a number of his personal items on
our pages. Among these items have been his General der
Kavallerie pickelhaube complete with the dress parade
feathers, as well as the storage boxes for his helmet and the
parade feathers. We have also had a few offbeat items, such
as one of his ultra-well-made, high-quality, leather valises,
which came from a luggage merchant in Switzerland. We
currently are offering a complete
uniform grouping {click here to see the uniform grouping}, a
sword {click here to see the sword}, and an
urkunde {click here to see the urkunde} that once belonged to him.
Alfons was born on 24 January 1862
and died on 8 January 1933.
Although he was a general in the Bavarian cavalry, he was not
a true front-line commander, as were some members of German
royalty. He was actually better-known in the field of science
and mathematics. He was honored in 1905 by being named the
Regimental Chef and patron of 7.
Chevaulegers-Regiment Prinz Alfons.
This was a great tribute to him by the Prinz Regent and the
War Ministry. Today we are offering a superb, high-grade
silver note book and pad that was presented to him on the
occasion of his 70th
birthday. This would have been 24 January
1932, which was a little less than a
year before he passed away. This magnificent desk piece was
presented to him by the officers, medical staff and
veterinarians of "his" regiment. The case, which
measures 6 3/8" x 4 1/4," is engraved at the case
top with his Royal Cypher. Below reads the following
dedication: "Ihrem
Durchlauchitigsten Regimentsinhaber ZUM 70. Geburtstage In
Alter Unwandelbarer Treue Und Verehrung Die Offiziere,
Sanitäts, Und Veterinäroffiziere Des K.B. Chevaulegers -
Regiments "Prinz Alfons."
This piece is both jeweler and .925 silver hallmarked.
Opening up the cover of the note pad, we see that virtually
the entire pad of original paper is in place! I do not know
the circumstances of Alfons’ health at the time. It is
entirely possible that with less than one more year to live,
he had little occasion to use this magnificent presentation
piece. As one would expect, the caliber of this piece is
stunning. Even nearly fifteen years after the war’s end
[the monarchy’s end as well(!)], Alfons’ former
officers still respected him enough to want to buy the best.
Until you claim this item, it will reside on my desk. I can
tell you that it looks splendid sitting near my computer
monitor. I am sure it would look equally as appealing next to
yours. Perhaps you can find some refills for the paper pads,
and YOU can work like a Prince! $1,550.00. . .

24-37 TWO KAISERS DESK
PIECE. This is a very fine desk
piece that features Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and Kaiser
Franz Josef of Austria. The base of the desk piece is a
substantial (and heavy) black marble. It measures 3 ½"
x 3 3/8". The circular inset features the two Kaisers in
profile. Wilhelm II is in front, wearing a full parade Garde
du Corps helmet with a Hohenzollern
Eagle mounted at the top. This brass-toned inset measures 2
7/8" in diameter. This is of very high quality and in
excellent condition. $275.00

24-116 MAUSER RIFLE STOCK PEN & INK STAND.
I have always had a fondness for pen and ink stands. During the Imperial
German Period, keeping an orderly AND interesting desk was very
important to businessmen, scholars, soldiers and other important fellows.
Trench art was a way to use items that a soldier might see on a daily basis
and fashion them into useful objects. This pen and ink stand fills that bill
quite attractively. The man who crafted this clearly had an eye for the
unusual and for a means to make a desk unique. A rifle stock has been cut
into a piece 11 1/2" in length. The metal butt plate (with screws) remains
in place. Three metal plates were screwed into the stock. In the center is a
small ink bottle. The ink bottle could hold a small amount of ink, but has
an oversized lid which also served as a magnifier. Two gun sights have been
fashioned into either hooks on which to hang items or to lay pens across.
They flank the ink bottle. Attached is one of the swivel loops that would
have originally held the rifle’s leather sling. At the bottom of the stock,
three shell casings have been screwed into the base. These act as feet to
hold the pen and ink stand in an upright position.
If you are looking for something really different for your desk or for
display on a table or bookcase, you MUST consider this. I was quite taken
with it. If you take a moment or two to study it in detail, you will be,
too.

13-394 NAVY
SEE BATTALION DESK PIECE.
This piece was acquired along with the document holder and
photographs described below. The man’s name is
Baumeister. He served with See Battalion
Nr III in China early in the 20th
Century. The desk piece consists of a wooden plaque measuring
8 7/8" x 9." Affixed to the wooden plaque are
several metal implements significant to a man serving in the See
Battalion. A crossed pair of oars lean
up against a pike. Spread out in front of the oars are a
number of tools (pick, shovel, etc.). In the middle of the
tools is a fouled anchor. Directly above the anchor and below
the oars is an officer’s cap kokarde. This is a touching
display to the man’s service. While offered separately, $450.00.

24-105 1914 IRON CROSS DESK PIECE.
This is a remarkable desk piece shaped like an oversized 1914 Iron Cross. It
is gold-toned and measures 6 1/4" x 6 1/4" x 1/4." If you look at the crown and between
the "9" and "1," you will see some small holes. I believe this
allowed the piece to be mounted on a wall. I believe it was diverted from that
purpose. White felt then was applied to its back so it could be used as a desk
piece. It is very sturdy and weighs 1 pound 13 ounces.

24-106 HINDENBURG/IRON CROSS DESK PIECE.
This is an oversized Iron Cross that measures 5" x 5" x 1/8." It is
silver-toned. In its center is a likeness of Generalfeldmarschall Paul von
Hindenburg. Below his likeness, on the nine o’clock arm, is the date
1914/15. The reverse sports the name "Witkowitz." It is a very substantial
item that weighs 12 ounces.

24-117 LETTER OPENER - STAG HANDLE.
This is
an interesting letter opener that once rested on a gentleman’s or officer’s
desk. The handle comes from a stag’s antler. Hunting was and is still a very
popular activity in Germany. The overall length of the letter opener, from
antler tip to blade tip is 12." The stag handle by itself measures 6 1/2,"
while the blade measures 5 1/2." The blade has a fine, mirrored finish. It
has a scabbard to protect the blade when not in use. It measures 5 1/2" x
1." The scabbard is made of leather with brass trim around the edge.

24-107 MINI HESSEN LETTER OPENER.
This is a very small letter opener. Its overall length is 4." At the top is a
four-leaf clover. A series of three and four leaf covers mounted on circlets
run down its center. Mounted atop that is a shield displaying
Hesse-Darmstadt’s rampant lion. On the blade’s reverse is engraved "Echternach."$50.00

IRON CROSS PAPERWEIGHT.
This is a very
interesting patriotic item from the WW I period. It is an oversized Iron Cross
paperweight measuring 4" x 4" x 1 /4." It is gilt-toned, and shows the three
Imperial Periods that used the Iron Cross (1813, 1870, and 1914). It also
features Friedrich Wilhelm III’s crowned cypher. He was the originator of the
Iron Cross. Oak leaves and Kaiser Wilhelm II’s cypher are also included. This
item was cast when produced. If you look at the reverse, you can see that it
is hollow. It is in excellent condition.

NAVY DESK PIECE - S. M. S. THÜRINGEN.
This is a heavy metal desk piece given out by the S. M. S. Thüringen’s
builder, Actien - Gesellschaft Wesser. This vessel was a battleship of
the S. M. S. Helgoland Class. She was launched in 1911, then scrapped
during the period from 1923 to 1933. I cannot tell if this was intended as a
gift to somebody within the company, or to a naval officer, perhaps at the
staff level. It displays the date December 3, 1910, and Bremen,
where the ship was built. What makes this interesting is that the date on the
desk piece is the year BEFORE the ship’s formal commissioning. The desk piece
measures 6 1/2" x 4" x 1." It shows a fine, high-profile image of the ship.
The desk piece is quite substantial, weighing 2 pounds.

24-124 PRUSSIAN KUGELHELM BELL.
This is a bell that was manufactured in the shape of a pre 1897 Prussian
Kugelhelm. We know the kugelhelm is pre 1897 since it sports only a single kokarde on the helmet’s right side. The kugelhelm is quite detailed,
displaying the wappen, chin scales, etc. a clapper is inside the
helmet/bell. The bell does ring. It would make a wonderful desk or
display piece, especially for all of you "gunners."

24-125 TRENCH ART LAMP.
This is an
artillery shell casing that has been made into a trench art lamp. Trench art
was made from everyday items that were readily available to soldiers in the
trenches or convalescing from war wounds in field hospitals. Shell casings
and other artillery parts frequently were etched or carved with battlefield
symbols or floral designs and converted into vases, patriotic jewelry, match
safes and the like. This particular brass shell casing, which measures 9"
tall and 3" inches in diameter, has had its main section etched with a
bark-like pattern. The patterned area contains two flowers (roses, perhaps),
a sprig of leaves and a double cross symbol. The shell casing has had a
wooden post inserted into that, which sticks out at the top approximately 1/4."
Someone attached a lamp socket, rising another 3 1/2," to the post so that it
can hold a light bulb. The shell casing is mounted on a piece of petrified
wood for the lamp’s base. The wooden base measures 11" x 9 1/2" wide and
approximately 2" high. The dark-brown wood is attractively gnarled and
swirled with darker rings and burls. We cannot tell what type of wood it is,
although oak is a possibility. It has been treated with some sort of lacquer
or preservative that gives it a soft shine. An electrical cord extends out
from the base’s underside. I am sure the shell casing was converted into a lamp in modern times. The
wiring is definitely LATE-20th Century. The decorated shell casing was
probably intended for use as a vase. It makes a fetching lamp, however. It
does not come with a lampshade or the harp to which the shade is attached.
Low wattage light bulbs should be used, probably not above 60 watts. We
tried it out with a 40-watt bulb and it lit up without any problems. Its new
owner will have the fun of choosing an appropriate shade and displaying this
attractive trench art piece.

24-126 IRON CROSS PAPERWEIGHT/DESK PIECE.
This is an oversized Iron Cross that can be used on your desk as a
paperweight or simply as a desk piece. It measures 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" x
1/2." It weighs 1 pound. The piece’s obverse shows the three wars for which the Iron Cross
had been awarded, 1813, 1870, and 1914. The dates appear on
three of the four arms. Some small paint-loss appears on the obverse, with a
more extensive loss on the arms’ sides.

13-587 NAVY CIGAR
CUTTER.
This is an interesting desk piece and cigar cutter. An officer
might have displayed it on his desk or in the sitting area of his home or
quarters, where he could relax while enjoying a cigar. The cigar cutter boasts
an exquisitely finished wooden base. It is 4" in diameter at the base, and
stands 3" tall. Mounted on it is what I believe to be an artillery shell fuse.
It displays markings from 4 to 50, which helped setting the fuse. More
markings, "Dopp. Z. C/96 Sp.," appear above the first. A plunger at the
top has a gilt-toned, Kaiserliche Marine button mounted on it. The
shaft on which the button is mounted displays a small hole in which the cigar
is inserted. When the shaft is depressed, the end of the cigar is cut. It is
now ready to smoke. Overall, the cigar cutter is 7" tall.

24-103 DESK PIECE IN THE
SHAPE OF A SHAKO - SAXON JÄGER zu FUß-REGIMENT CA. 1867.
This is one of the most delightful, well made desk pieces we have ever offered
you. It is shaped like an officer’s shako from the 3. Jäger-Regiment zu Fuß
around the time of the 1866 Austro-Prussian War. It was the final consolidation
war among the Germans, which pitted Austria, Württemberg, Bavaria, Saxony,
Hannover, Baden, Hesse-Darmstadt, Hesse-Kassel, and etc. against Prussia,
Oldenburg, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and etc. The war lasted
barely seven weeks. The Prussians crushed Austria and her allies. Austria,
Württemberg, Bavaria, and Saxony emerged intact, but Hannover and some of the
smaller states were absorbed into Prussia. The pivotal battle of the war was
at Königgrätz and took place 3 July 1866, (three years after, to the
day, of the Battle of Gettysburg’s final day). The German Army unveiled a
revolutionary military mobility on the European continent by their use of
railroads. The Prussian Army was superbly organized and led compared to
Austria and her allies. The Prussians also had use of the more modern breech
loading "needle guns," which easily outgunned the muzzle loading muskets of
their enemies.
The beautiful shako desk piece is made from a combination of leather and wood.
The shako’s exterior is covered with a superior-grade of extremely supple
leather, even at more than 125-years-of-age. The shako stands 4 1/8" tall, is
3" in diameter at the top, and 2 1/2" in diameter at the base. A high-quality
Saxon wappen measuring 1" x 3/4" graces the shako’s front. Below the
wappen are beautifully crafted chin scales showing every bit as much
detail as their full-sized counterparts. Above the wappen a well-made
field badge appears. It serves as a handle that allows the shako’s top to
open, revealing an inner storage chamber for small objects. The shako’s hinged
top swings up. The shako’s top has "3.
Jäger-Regiment zu Fuß" etched into the leather.
At the shako’s bottom is "5 October Plauen 1867." Plauen is a small
town in Southern Saxony, not far from Bavaria and the modern-day Czech
Republic. Probably, the officer served in the Austro-Prussian War barely
eighteen months before this handsome desk piece was dedicated. It is a
wonderful miniature recreation of a shako from the period. A lot of time and
effort was expended in the construction of the piece, which sat on the desk of
an officer who took great pride in his military service.

24-115 ENLISTED MAN’S DESK PIECE -
1.
GARDE-FELDARTILLERIE-REGIMENT - PRUSSIA.
This is an unusual desk piece for an enlisted man from 1. Garde-Feldartillerie-Regiment. It was the senior of the Prussian Army’s
Garde Artillery Regiments. It was founded in 1816. It was garrisoned in
Berlin, where like all Garde-Regiments, it was attached to the
GardeKorps. Inside the sloped frame, which measures 5 3/4" x 3" x 1," is a
reproduction of the regiment’s feldgrau shoulder strap. It is under
glass. We see a gray background with the field artillery’s burgundy flaming
bomb. At the top is a simulated button with the number "5." At the wood
frame’s bottom, we read "Erites Garde-Feldartillerie-Regiment 5. Batterie."
It is well made and displays quite attractively.

24-112 DESK PIECE - ARTILLERY SHELL FUZE.
This is a most interesting desk piece. The base is fashioned to look like an
artillery shell. It is actually made of stone rather than brass, and is
painted. Set atop it is an actual fuze from a German artillery shell. All of
the various numbers and markings by which the fuze would be set before
firing are present. It appears that the fuze was an M-1896. The fuze
lifts up. A small compartment sits below where small objects or a small ink
well could be stored. Attached to the desk piece’s back is a horse shoe. The
horse shoe remains a very lucky symbol to this day in Germany. Attached to
the horse shoe are four hooks from which various items can be hung. It could
be a most interesting way to display four medals! This desk piece has a lot
of character.

24-113 SMALL STAHLHELM BANK/DESK PIECE. This is a small
stahlhelm that was once a bank. It measures 5" x 4" x 3" and is green in
color. Its exterior has 3-4 very small dents. It also has the lugs where a
sniper or a machine gunner’s brow plate would have been attached. A small
slit has been cut in the helmet’s back to insert the coins. The reverse once
had a small trap door through which the coins were removed. The trap door is
no longer present. This would make a very interesting desk piece for you
helmet collectors.

XRP DESK PIECE - IRON CROSS SHAPED - ORIGINAL PRESENTATION CASE. This is
a consignment piece. It is a desk piece shaped like an Iron Cross. It
measures 4 1/8” x 4 1/8” x 1/2.” It is an interesting piece that combines
the Iron Crosses from 1813, 1870, and 1914. Some engraved information
appears on the reverse. The desk piece is in MINT condition. Part of the
reason is that it has been housed in its original purchase carton for 90+
years! This carton is black, with an embossed 1914 Iron Cross on it. It is a
very impressive item.

TRENCH ART FLOWER VASE. This is a
wonderful piece of trench artwork. It shows the attention that was paid to an
approximately 20mm shell. The casing stands 4 1/2" tall. Its edges have been
fluted. The shell is then mounted on THREE different bases, which have been
combined into one. The top base is made of glass. It is then mounted on a
black marble base. The black marble base is in turn mounted on a metal base.
It appears to be brass, as is the shell casing. It is a very fine example that
would look very gorgeous with a single rose bud.

24-94 DESK PIECE - BISMARCK MONUMENT - BERLIN.
This is a small decorative tray that depicts the Bismarck monument in
Berlin. The small tray was used for display or to hold small objects. The
tray measures 9 1/2" x 3 1/2." The monument is in high relief across the tray’s
base. "Bismarck Monument Berlin" is imprinted on the obverse, as
well. The reverse reveals the four small feet on which the tray rests, as
well as some manufacturer’s hallmarking. $140.00

10-749 CASED DISPLAY -
JÄGER zu PFERDE TIN SOLDIERS.
Tin soldiers were very popular among Imperial German Period children. Today
we are offering an amazing group of tin soldiers from the 1890 to 1914
period. They come in a special glass case in which they are handsomely
displayed. The soldiers are from the Regiment Königsjäger zu Pferde Nr 1.
(Their name is displayed at the case’s front on a small plaque, which measures 1" x 2
3/4.") This was the first of the Jäger zu Pferde-Regiments created in
1901. The regiment carries the "Wilhelm Rex" cypher on their shoulder
boards and straps. A total of thirteen Jäger zu Pferde-Regiments was
created between 1901 and 1913. It is interesting to note that these cavalry
regiments wore metal helmets with long back visors, which were also worn by
the Küraßier-Regiments, including the ultra-elite Regiment der
Garde du Corps and the Garde-Reiter-Regiment. The case itself measures 16 1/4" x 4" x 5 1/2." Three sides of the case are
covered in red leatherette. The case’s front and top are glass. The front
slides up and out of the case, if you need to reposition the soldiers
slightly after they are shipped to you. [We
will carefully pack it with extra bubble wrap around the soldiers. They are
glued down, but we had to reposition them a bit after they arrived from
Germany. We only caution, be gentle as you do so, as they are old. Too much
pressure may make their glue soften]. ALL the soldiers in the display are mounted, as one expects of a cavalry
regiment. The tin soldiers have two officers at the squadron’s head. Behind
the officers is another officer/NCO, who escorts the soldier carrying the
regimental flag. Behind these men are two lines of troopers. A total of
thirteen men is in each of the two lines, making a total of THIRTY men on
display. Each trooper in the two rear lines carries a flag on a lance. It is a splendid exhibition of the elite regiment.
[Special shipping will be required for
this item at a higher cost than our normal shipping, to ensure that it
receives the packing it deserves to reach your home safely].

23-300 HAND PAINTED SET - SOLDIERS - NAPOLEONIC WARS.
Over the years we have strived to bring you the common and uncommon. Today,
we think we have something that is certainly the latter! We are offering a
set of hand painted miniature soldiers. These were most likely produced
during the period from 1890 through 1910. They depict the pride and the
glory of the German Army during the Napoleonic Wars. I believe each soldier
is made of lead, which was common during the period. They have been hand
painted in great detail. The average soldier stands about 2" tall. We will
list below what this particular group encompasses. We actually have a large
number of them. We will be happy to sell multiple groups at a discount. I
have arranged them into groups that are slightly different. When possible, I
have built them around the regimental colors. Below is what is included in a
group:
*One (1) mounted officer.
*One (1) dismounted officer.
*One (1) mounted walking officer.
*One drummer wearing a mitre.
*One soldier who has been shot and is in the process of
falling to the ground. His mitre is already falling from
his head.
*Eight (8) infantry soldiers carrying muskets and wearing
mitres.
This wonderful mini grouping has a total of THIRTEEN men. It gives you a
sense of what soldiers from two-hundred-years ago looked like. These were
most likely owned by a young boy or even a collector like you!

24-121 HAND PAINTED SET - SOLDIERS - NAPOLEONIC WARS.
Over the years, we have strived to bring you both the common and the uncommon.
Today we think we have something that is certainly the latter! Today we are
offering a set of hand painted miniature soldiers. They were probably produced
during the 1890 to 1910-period. They represent the German Army’s pride and the
glory from the Napoleonic Wars. I believe each soldier is made of lead, which
was most common prior to the inexpensive production of rubber and plastic. (The
best "collectible toy soldiers" are still made of lead or other pliable metals).
They were then hand painted in great detail. The average soldier stands about 2"
tall.
We have a large number of these figures. We will be happy to sell multiple
groups at a discount. I have arranged these into groups that are slightly
different. When possible, I have built them around the regimental colors. Below
is what is included in a group:
*One (1) officer bearing the regimental colors, flanked by another
officer who wearing a sword and a mitre (a special headdress from
the period).
*Two (2) sergeants carrying the spontoons that protected the
regimental colors. [A spontoon was an evolutionary development of
the halbred (a combination of a spear and a battleaxe), as was
the partisan]. The regimental colors had to be protected at all
costs, as their loss was a disgrace to the entire regiment. To that end,
the spontoon was a nasty-looking pike that could eviscerate any
who dared to take the regimental colors.
*One (1) mounted officer.
*One drummer wearing a mitre.
*Eight (8) infantry soldiers carrying a musket and wearing mitres.
This wonderful mini grouping has a total of FOURTEEN men. It gives you an
idea what soldiers looked like two-hundred-years ago. They probably were owned
by a young boy, or perhaps a collector like you!

24-36 KRIEGSFLAGGE
LETTER OPENER. This
is a unique letter opener, which combines a silvered blade
with a black handle. It features a kriegsflagge
mounted on a flag pole that is whipping in the wind. The
letter opener is of very high quality and measures 9
1/8" in overall length. There is some lifting of the
silver surface of the blade on the side opposite the kriegsflagge
handle. $175.00.

TRENCH ART LETTER OPENER - SHAPE - CURVED SWORD.
This is a very
interesting letter opener that is shaped like a curved sword. It has a white
and brown stag handle that measures 2 3/4” x 1/2.” It features a brass cross
guard. The blade measures 4 3/4” x 1/2.” The blade is also made of brass.
One side reads “Weltkrieg 14-18." The other side states “Mb German
Prisoner.” The information engraved on the blade is what I call “field
engraved,” meaning it was hand-done by the man, not professionally engraved
by a jeweler. The overall length of the letter opener measures 7.”

24-118 SMALL TRENCH ART SHRAPNEL LETTER OPENER. Shrapnel letter openers
were quite popular during WW I. This is a rather unusual variation. The handle
of the letter opener is not quite as jagged as many as we see. It is not as
dangerous to handle. It measures 1 1/2” x 2.” A brass cross guard makes it look like
a sword or dagger. It has a relatively short blade which measures 2” x 1/2.” This
makes the overall length 4 1/4.” It is a very handy, easy-to-use letter opener with
a good heft to it.

DESK PIECE - HUSSAR PIPEHEAD.
This is an
interesting desk piece that has been constructed from a section of a veteran
hussar’s pipe. Its maker joined part of the ceramic pipehead with some of
the dark brown wooden pipe sections, then crafted it so it would stand up.
He also added a brass horseshoe to one of the upper wooden sections for
decoration. The block of wood just below the horseshoe is set at an angle,
and each surface has something engraved upon it. This includes "4 Esc.
Leib=," "1906," "G. Hus.=Reg.," "Potsdam," "WS" "1903." The white
ceramic pipehead features a hand painted portrait of Hussar in his attila,
with a pelisse slung over his shoulder and his busby atop his head.
The portrait is surrounded by high-relief oak leaves painted in two shades
of green, along with brown acorns tipped in gold enamel. The reverse of the
pipehead displays a phrase mentioning the remembrance of the soldier’s
service. Below the pipehead is another section of the pipe-fitting that
attaches to the piece’s base. The entire piece’s height is 13 1/4." The base
is 2 3/4" x 1 5/8" x 1 3/8." The base has evidently come apart a bit in the

the base.

10-678 HIGH QUALITY LETTER OPENER - HOLSTENTOR - LÜBECK. This
is an extremely high-caliber, silver letter opener, featuring a
representation of the Holstentor in Lübeck. The letter opener
measures 9 3/4" in length. It is hallmarked for .835 silver (along
with the crown and moon) and the manufacturer, whose mark I do not
recognize.

PETSCHAFT. Petschafte (personal seals) were used
for letters, envelopes, and etc. They were very popular during the late
Imperial German Period (approximately 1890 to 1918). Those once used by
royalty are quite ornate and VERY expensive, when one can find them.
Today we are offering a brass petschaft that stands 1 3/4" tall. The
base, where the initials reside, measures 1/2" x 1/2." As best as I can discern,
the initials are "PT (or PF)."

PETSCHAFT.
Petschafte
(personal seals) were used for letters, envelopes, and etc. They were very
popular during the late Imperial German Period (approximately 1890 to 1918).
Those once used by royalty are quite ornate and VERY expensive, when
one can find them. Today we are offering a wood and brass petschaft
that stands 2 3/4" tall. The base, where the original owner’s name resides,
measures 3/4" in diameter. As best as I can discern, the name is "C. F.
Duncker." $50.00

24-76 PERSONALIZED INK
STAMP. This is another of the
personalized ink stamps we recently bought. The use of stamps
like this was quite fashionable in Germany before WW I. On
first examination this example looks like a mini whisk! It
appears to be made of brass. The handle looks like the
portion of a whisk that beats one’s eggs in the bowl.
The stamp head bears what appear to be the initials
"WC" or
"WA." The stamp itself stands
2 7/8" tall, while the base with the initials measures
½" x 5/8." $30.00. . .

24-73 PERSONALIZED NAVY
INITIAL STAMP. Wood handled metal
stamps were very popular during the Imperial German period.
These were the forerunners of rubber stamps and allowed the
individual to stamp his initials, cypher, etc. on letters,
etc. by using an ink pad. Even today you can use these on
paper. This example has a person’s name and an anchor
etched in reverse on the metal stamping portion. Attached is
a wooden handle. These are fun to use, display, or have on
your desk. $55.00 . . .

34-05 PERSONALIZED SEAL.
Seals of this nature were very popular in Germany during the Imperial Period.
One would melt some wax, drop it on the flap of an envelope, and then impress
the seal on it. This would serve to secure the envelope’s contents, and to
identify the sender. This example features a name in German script. It has a
wooden handle. $45.00

34-01 METAL STAMP FOR
MARKING SEALING WAX. This is a metal
stamp which would have been used for sealing a wax seal on a
letter. These were very popular during the Imperial German
period. Even the most modest of houses might have had one of
these present. This example has a dimpled brass exterior. At
the base are two initials A & K. These are
impressive-looking as desk accessories even if they are never
used. $40.00

34-02 METAL STAMP FOR
MARKING SEALING WAX. This is a metal
stamp which would have been used for sealing a wax seal on a
letter. These were very popular during the Imperial German
period. Even the most modest of houses might have had one of
these present. This example has a straight, four-sided, brass
exterior. At the base are three initials which are either AAA
or AVA. These are impressive-looking as desk accessories even
if they are never used. $40.00

INK BLOTTER. This is an interesting ink blotter.
It measures 1 1/2" wide, 5 1/4" long, and 3" high. On the handle’s top is a
"B" for the owner. Flanking the handle is a star (possibly signifying an
officer) and an Iron Cross. Multiple pieces of blotting paper are attached to
the bottom of the blotter. As the bottom piece became too soiled for use, it
was removed and a fresh piece was ready to go. The ink blotter is made of
wood. It would make a fine accessory on your desk.

24-56 TRENCH ART DESK
PIECE. Desk pieces were very popular
during the Imperial German period. This desk piece is of the
"trench art" variety. These were very popular. They
were made from items that one might have found on a battle
field. The base of this desk piece measures 5 3/4" x 4
3/8" and is made of brass. Mounted on an inner base,
which is pebbled, is an assortment of used and unused rifle
projectiles. Some are twisted. It makes for an fascinating
display. $125.00 . . .

a companion piece to the Saxon Officer
Artillery Kugelhelm that is described
above. This is a shako for an officer in a Saxon Jäger
battalion. It is complete with the dress plume. It measures 1
½" long, 1 ½" wide, and 1 3/8" tall. It has
two balled feet. The shako rests on a wreath of laurel
leaves. $395.00

07-100 MINIATURE OF THE
SWORD OF OTTO von BISMARCK. This is
a miniature of the sword carried by the "Iron
Chancellor," Otto von Bismarck. If you look closely, you
will see his family’s coat-of-arms. The blade is plain.
Overall, this sword, which measures 7 1/2" in length, is
in fine condition. This would make a super desk piece. Or as
the original owner may have done, you can open letters with
it. $150.00.

07-62 MINIATURE LION'S
HEAD SWORD. Miniature swords were
very popular with the officers of Imperial Germany. They were
used as desk pieces and even as letter openers. This example
is a miniature of a lion’s head officer’s sword. I
t comes complete with a metal scabbard. It is 8 3/8"
long. The blade is fullered and not engraved. $175.00. . .

07-42 MINIATURE
KAISERLICHE MARINE OFFICERS SWORD. A
very high quality example of the miniature Navy Officers
Sword. It features a Lionhead and has the fouled anchor and
crown of the Navy. Plain blade and the scabbard has about 50%
of its paint which replicates the leather of the full size
example. This would make a very nice desk item or perhaps
even a letter opener. $375.00

24-34 LIONSHEAD SWORD
LETTER OPENER. This letter opener is
in the form of an officer’s lionshead sword. It is

24-30 50 YEAR ULANEN
DISPLAY. I was really taken by this
piece when I first saw it. It is a small, framed shadow box
that measures 7" x 5 3/4." It has an easel on the
reverse to prop it up for display. Inside the shadow box we
see a finely executed gilt plate that itself measures 2"
3 ½." It recognizes the long service of a trooper or
former trooper who served in Königl.
Sachsen 2. Ulanen-Regiment Nr 18. This
regiment was garrisoned in Leipzig and founded in 1867. At
the very top of this plate we see, in profile, a tschapka
that shows the wappen
of the regiment. This plaque was awarded to a Bruno
Kühn for 50 years of service. This
length of service would have taken him back to 1884, when he
first entered the regiment. The date of the award was 11
November 1934. This would have been the 16th
anniversary of the end of WW I. This entire presentation is
first class. It would be an interesting item for a cavalry
collector or for the collector who just wants something
different. The easel on the reverse is a little loose, so
please be gentle with it. $295.00

24-27 BULLET TIPS AND A
BRASS SHELL MADE INTO A LIGHTER/DESK PIECE.
This most interesting desk piece actually fits into two
genres. First it definitely fits into the area of desk pieces
that were VERY popular during the Imperial period and
especially during the war. But it would also fit into the
area of trench art. Whether it was made in the trenches at
the front or in a hospital while a man was recovering from
wounds, it definitely fits the type and general description
of those items that were considered trench art. Its primary
makeup comes from articles that one would easily find at the
front. We start with a square brass base that measures
3" x 3". Through the four corners extend the tips
or projectile portion of four bullets. As we look underneath
at the base, we can see where the brass shell casings have
been shortened and fluted to make four "feet" for
this arrangement to stand on with steadily. Attached to the
top of the base is a partial larger shell casing that I would
estimate to be a 20mm shell. Attached to the top of this are
the lighter mechanicals. One can see the wheel that you would
have turned to cause the flint to strike and ignite the
fluid. The tip of another, larger bullet is at the very top
of the larger shell casing. It is removed to reveal a wick,
where the lighter would have ignited. If you ever did attempt
to use this as a lighter (which I would not recommend due to
its age), some time would need to be spent rehabilitating the
mechanism, since it is frozen from age. What I really find
interesting about this piece, aside from the time and thought
that went into it, is the overall quality of its workmanship.
Also, there is a small badge attached to the front of the
shell casing that tells us that this was a Christmas gift for
1916 in the field. This entire item has character of the like
that we do not often see in professionally-made items. $175.00

12-344 OVERSIZED 1914
IRON CROSS. I am not quite sure what
was the use for this oversized Iron Cross, although it
appears to be of a patriotic nature. Having said that, it is
quite large, measuring 3" x 2 e." It is about the
size of a Grand Cross. It is stamped and has a loop at the
top where it could have been worn as a pendant. However, this
is huge! It would have taken up a LOT of space under a
lady’s neck. It is stamped and there is a wreath of
leaves that connects the arms of the cross. It is more likely
that it was used as a wall decoration. This is definitely a
different kind of item! $175.00.

frame of leaves. It has a wooden handle.

24-09 DESK PIECE IN THE
SHAPE OF A FIELD PACK. A unique desk
piece, which features a silver-toned field pack mounted on a
marble base. The base measures 4 7/8" x 3 ½" x
5/8". The field pack is actually very detailed, and has
the man’s blanket and shoes attached! There is some
light chipping in a couple of places on the marble base, but
it is not detractive. This would look fine on a desk or a
shelf. $160.00.

24-51 BAVARIAN VETERANS
FRAME. This is a really attractive
photo frame that would have been used to honor a Bavarian
soldier. The frame measures 6" x 7 ½ ." It is most
likely made of zinc. The frame area features twin unfurled
banners of Bavaria. The checkerboard area, which would have
been blue and white, is in place with a crown over each
banner. In the center at the top of the frame is a large
cutout Wittelsbach Crown. At the very bottom of the frame is
what appears to be a soldier’s pack with a pair of
crossed rifles. Nestled between some leaves is a shako in
profile, complete with field badge. While only half of the
shako is actually showing, if you look closely enough you can
see one of the two lions that would have appeared on a
Bavarian headpiece. Jäger Battalions, Machine Gun
Abteilungs, Eisenbahn-Battalions, Telegraphen-Battalions,
Kraftfahr Battalions, Luftschiffer Battalions, and
Flieger-Battalions all used the shako. So this frame could
have been used to display a photo by any soldier in one of
these units, or his loved ones back home. There is a place to
slip in a CDV from the reverse. There is an easel-like prop
on the reverse to securely hold up the frame. This would make
an interesting display item. $195.00. .

24-100 DESK PIECE MADE FROM A FUSE FROM AN ARTILLERY SHELL.
This is a great memento which consists of a fuse from
an artillery shell mounted to a marble base. The base measures 7" x 4 1/2" x
3/4".
In the center of the base is the fuse and on it you can see all of the
settings and calibrations which allow the setting of it prior to firing. All
in all in very good condition and for you students of artillery it will look
just great on your desk.

24-99 GLASS ASHTRAY FOR THE VÖLKERSCHLACHTDENKMAL IN
LEIPZIG.
This is a glass ashtray which
commemorates the Völkerschlachtdenkmal in Leipzig. This is a massive monument
which was dedicated in 1913 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of
the Napoleonic wars. This was a major year in German history and there was
much going on to honor German’s role in these wars. This monument is every bit
as impressive today as it was nearly 100 years ago and Kaiser Wilhelm II and
the King of Saxony were both there for its dedication,
$30.00

24-35 IRON CROSS DESK
PIECE. This is a most interesting
and unique 1914 Iron Cross 2nd
Class desk piece. Somebody has taken a black piece of marble
that measures 5" x 3 1/8". He then took an Imperial
period, high-quality replication of a 1914 Iron Cross 2nd
Class. Then he affixed the cross to a ball that is tilted at
about a 45 degree angle on the piece of marble. I had to look
at the cross several times before I realized that it was not
an actual cross. The grain of the paint is different and the
reverse of the cross, while complete, is unpainted. There is
a small piece of period ribbon that is sewn onto the loop of
the cross. This is all attractively done. The Iron Cross is
quite appealing on the base. $150.00
(Click here for more images)
24-70 GLASS PAPERWEIGHT
FOR THE IRON CROSS 2nd
CLASS. This glass paperweight
measures 2 5/8" x 4" x 5/8." It was once the
property of an Eduard Helms, who served in Garde-Grenadier-Regiment
Nr 5, 1. Kompagnie. A piece of glass is
missing from the top section of the paperweight. The
information about Helms has been glued to the bottom of the
item. This paperweight could also serve as a small tray to
hold paperclips, small coins, etc. $30.00 ..

24-71 GLASS PAPERWEIGHT
FOR THE WAR SERVICE CROSS 2nd
CLASS - BRAUNSCHWEIG. Over the years
I have offered several of the highly popular (then and now)
glass paperweights featuring the 1914 Iron Cross 2nd
Class. Today we are offering something a bit different, but
in the same style: a paperweight featuring the War Service
Cross 2nd Class
from the Duchy of Braunschweig. This glass paperweight
measures 2 5/8" x 4" x 5/8.". It was once the
property of an Eduard Helms (the same man who owned the 1914
Iron Cross 2nd
Class paperweight listed above)! He served in Garde-Grenadier-Regiment
Nr 5, 1. Kompagnie. The information
about Helms has been glued to the bottom of the item. This
paperweight could also serve as a small tray to hold
paperclips, small coins, etc. Buy the pair
and receive a 10% discount. $75.00 . . .

24-123 GLASS ASHTRAY - HELGOLAND ISLAND.
This is a glass ashtray of Helgoland Island. It measures 2 3/4" x 4 1/2" x
1/2." It
has a color rendering of the island, complete with the town and docks. Other
ships can be seen in the distance. The rendering is applied to the ashtray’s
bottom so it can be clearly seen, but the image will not be harmed by use. A
leatherette covering underneath protects
the bottom. It is an unusual presentation. Even if you do not smoke, it will
make a nifty desk piece.

GLASS PAPERWEIGHT FEATURING - ARMY BARRACKS - MUNSTER.

photograph of the army barracks at Munster. $50.00

24-15 INK BLOTTER MADE
FROM A PROPELLER. This is a unique
ink blotter that makes an interesting desk piece. The blotter
is made of segments of wood from a propeller(I cannot say
whether it is British, American, French, or German). The top
of it has a hand-carved propeller that measures 5". The
top unscrews to allow access to the bottom of the blotter.
This way the blotting paper could be removed when it became
too soiled. This would look great on your desk. $150.00
(Click here for more images)
24-43 SILESIAN EAGLE
LEATHER DESK FOLIO. Desk folios were
an important part of an officer’s desk. Members of the
middle and upper classes in Germany also enjoyed having such
items. These folios were generally the centerpiece of the
desk. They helped the owner keep important papers or
documents close at hand, where he could reach them at a
moment’s notice. This oversized folio is made of hand
tooled leather. It measures 15 ½" x 12." It has a
large Silesian Eagle in the center. At the bottom is an
inscription or family motto in what could be Latin:
"ioida suisum." Inside there
is a marbled effect interior which the owner could have
written on. It is also possible the owner could have used
this folio for travel purposes, and not just as a desk piece.
It is in very good condition. It would look super on YOUR
desk! $295.00.
(Click here for more images)
24-46 SMALL IRON CROSS
FOLIO. This Iron Cross folio would
work quite well on a desk for either a display or to hold
some important documents. It measures 10" x 7 ½."
It features an Iron Cross on the front, along with the
saying: "Memories of 1914." There is a sticker
inside showing it was originally sold as a fund-raising item
for the Red Cross. This is in very good condition. $95.00

10-381 TRENCH ART ASH
TRAY. Collecting trench art is a
very specialized and interesting area of WW I collecting.
There are collectors who collect those types of items only
and have very large and diverse collections. Trench art
pieces which include artillery shells or bullets are always
popular and this piece incorporates BOTH.
These shells are set on a triangular base of cooper. It has
three legs which are made from the bottoms of rifle casings
which have been soldered to the base. In the center of the
base is a cut down artillery shell which is some 4"
tall. Mounted around the artillery shell are a total of
eleven deactivated bullets which include both the brass
casing and the projectile. I am no expert on ammunition but
there are clearly three different types of shells which were
used. Two types appear to have been used for rifles and the
this variety appears to have been for a pistol or a revolver.
A very impressive piece and would look great on a desk or a
book case. $125.00
(Click here for more images)
18-57 INK WELL FROM THE
BIEDERMAIER PERIOD. This is a unique
ink well from the Biedermaier period, which was from
approximately 1815-1858. The inkwell begins with a burled
style of wood base. Mounted on the wood base are small metal
"buttons." Attached to the base is a metal,
saucer-like arrangement where spilled ink, pen nibs, paper
clips, etc. might be placed. A small glass bottle for the ink
is then attached to this area. The stopper for the ink bottle
is of the same design as the base, with the inclusion of a
floral motif. All is of very fine quality and condition. For
you folks who enjoy using a fountain pen (as I do), this
would be a great desk piece that could be filled with the ink
of your choice. It would make a handsome addition to a desk
without ink, as well. $195.00
(Click here for more images)
10-353 MINIATURE
PICKELHAUBE PRUSSIAN ARTILLERY OFFICER.
This is a very interesting miniature Pickelhaube for a
Prussian Artillery Officer. It features the Prussian head
plate, round ball indicating an Artillery Regiment. It also
has the chinscales of an Officer. What is really interesting
about this piece is that it is painted glass and the colors
black, gold, and silver. I can’t tell if the front visor
was ever painted or not but clear glass is present there. The
bulk of the rear visor is painted. The detail to this piece
is of average not exceptional quality but it sure would make
a neat desk piece! It is 2 ½" high, 2 3/4" in
length, and 2" wide.
$225.00
(Click here for more

365-99 DESK PIECE.
This is an unusual piece which measures 6" x 4" has the fuze
(Including driving bands) from an artillery shell and a
deactivated small arms round. This round is larger than the
round issued for the Mauser. It measures 3" in length
and 3/4" in diameter at the bottom of the round. I would
estimate it to be from 15-20MM. This may be a round used
against tanks among other things. The base is steel and the
entire arrangement is quite heavy. An impressive looking
piece and while there is some light surface rust on the base,
with a little TLC it would clean up quite nicely. $95.00
(Click here for more images)
24-80 CIGAR-CUTTER MADE
FROM AN ARTILLERY SHELL. Are you a
cigar smoker? This is a wonderful cigar-cutter made from a
small-caliber artillery shell projectile. The
cigar-cutter’s base is made of wood. The projectile
stands 6 ½" tall on its base. Three driving bands wrap
around the shell. Toward the top of the projectile a small
hole has been machined or hand-cut, allowing the cigar end to
be inserted. At the projectile’s top, a ball-like
attachment is mounted to a plunger. When depressed, it snips
off the cigar end, allowing it to be lit and smoked. The wood
base displays some aging and scratches, but a high-grade
furniture cleaner could easily restore it. This is something
distinctive for your desk. If you ARE a cigar smoker,
you’ll find it quite useful. $150.00
(Click here for more images)
24-82 METAL PATRIOTIC
ASHTRAY. This is a distinctive
patriotic ashtray. It features an eagle grasping the flags of
Germany in its talons. The ashtray is painted in alternating
bands of red, white, and black. It is 4 3/4" in
diameter. The distinctiveness of this piece is that it is
made of metal. As we examine the reverse, we see that the
ashtray was produced by the Bavarian firm Bing.
Bing was known as a toymaker. During WW I they produced many
metal items for the military (cups, canteens, etc.). They
even produced some pickelhauben early in the war. $135.00.
