We acquired a HUGE collection of Vivat Ribbons from a longtime German collector. Vivat Ribbons are made of silk. They were very popular among the always-patriotic Imperial Germans. The ribbons celebrated people (royalty and the military) from Germany’s past and from the Great War. Many of the ribbons were released by the German Red Cross to raise funds for war relief. This collection numbers more than 100 ribbons. You will see an enormous variety among them.
We are now offering a 10% discount on all items on this page. Please tell us when ordering items!
36-73 VIVAT COLLECTING ALBUM. If you ever thought of seriously collecting Vivat Ribbons, we have an album that offers you the perfect way to display these ribbons. This is a custom album that was designed SPECIFICALLY for the Vivats. The album measures a massive 19 1/2" x 14." On the cover, we see the title "Vivatbänder aus großer Zeit. (Vivat Ribbons from a Greater Time)" It is very possibly a period WW I album. If it is not from the Great War Era, it dates no later than the 1920's or 1930's. As you look through the album, you will see it employs a unique method of securing the ribbons without harming them. A slide- through device exists at the top and the bottom, with inserts on either side of the ribbon for securing it. This arrangement will protect your Vivats from damage, yet allow you to enjoy them as you flip through the album. The first page has space for one of the over-sized Vivats. After that initial page, each of the other pages will hold three Vivats in a neat and orderly manner. [NOTE from the photographs following this description that we show you how each different page type looks with a Vivat present]. Special Offer!! Buy any TEN Vivats and you may have this custom album for $50.00!! This is a wonderful opportunity to start a collection of these interesting ribbons and to have the ideal way to preserve and display them. $250.00
