This is another of the very popular miniature pickelhauben. This example is made of a silver-toned metal. It is not a typical metal helmet (not designed for a küraßier, GdC, etc.). The detail is good enough to reveal it is an American spiked helmet. It measures 2″ x 1 1/4″ x 1 3/8.” Along with the silver-toned exterior comes a gilt-toned wappen, cruciform, and spike. [Initially I identified this as a Prussian pickelhaube. One of my favorite people in the world (and a sharp-eyed bugger to boot) advised me that I had erred describing it. He told me it was in fact a pickelhaube from the United States! I pulled it back out, and had a look. He is 100% correct. The cruciform is different, as is the eagle, of course. The latter is vastly different from those that appear on Prussian pickelhauben. In the last quarter of the 19th Century pickelhauben became very popular with the armies of the world. This was also true here in the U.S. where our army also adopted the pickelhaube. Thanks for clearing up the confusion, Roberto]!

DESK PIECE – MINIATURE PICKELHAUBE
This is a silver-toned pickelhaube that was used as a desk piece, probably on an officer’s desk. It is turned upside down so the pickelhaube’s top (including the spike) is attached to the desk piece’s base. It measures 3 ½” x 3″ x 2 1/4.” The pickelhaube comes complete with a gilt Prussian wappen (which is a bit loose and will move) and moveable silver chin scales. The pickelhaube’s interior has a nut and screw with which to secure it to the base. As for the exact uses for the desk piece, let your imagination run wild! It could have been used as an ashtray, a catchall for miscellaneous small items or a candy dish. How YOU use it is only limited by your imagination.
