This is another variation of the patriotic pin that has been made from the driving band of an artillery shell. This gilt-toned pin is vaulted (very unusual) as opposed to being flat. It has a cutout slot in the center and an enameled iron Cross. Quite striking.

PILL/SNUFF BOX – DEPICTING FRENCH RAILWAY CAR USED FOR GERMANY’S WW I SURRENDER
This is a silver-toned box that might have been used to hold snuff or pills. It has a hinge so that the box opens by swinging upward. It measures 2″ in diameter and is ½” tall. The upper half features the same design on both the outer and inner sections. The bottom half is silver-toned inside, while its outer section displays a bronze-toned medallion that depicts a railway car. The car is identified for being where the armistice was signed on 11 November 1918. This simple railway car became even more famous in 1940 (twenty-two years later) when Adolf Hitler accepted France’s surrender. He then imposed some of the same harsh terms that had been levied on Germany in 1918.

JEWELRY BOX – REPRESENTING THE GARDE du CORPS
This is a jewelry box in the shape of an officer’s visor cap from the Regiment des Garde du Corps (GdC). [They were the Prussian Army’s leading cavalry regiment. When the Kaiser was out in public, a group of them always accompanied him. One generally saw an NCO in full-parade-gear (including the Hohenzollern-Eagle-topped helmet), standing near the Kaiser, brandishing the emperor’s personal standard]. This charming jewelry box is faithful in detail to its larger counterpart.
It sports a black visor, the wide, lower red trim band, and the narrow band of red piping encircling its top. The rest of the “cap” is white. The case’s top exhibits some soiling from age (it IS nearly 100-years-old). One kokarde is present. The spot for the second is filled by the button that opens the box.
Inside, the box’s bottom surface appears to be leather. The upper half sports a white silk liner, which has embossed on it in gold, “Zur Erinnerung an den Weltkrieg 1914 Gesetzl. Gesch.” The box’s top (the cap’s cover) measures 2 1/2″ in diameter. The entire box measures 1″ in height. This is a marvelous little item. Only your imagination will limit what you can do with it!

This is a very interesting oval-shaped patriotic photo pendant of a soldier from the Grand Duchy of Baden. He is wearing his pickelhaube with parade bush. It measures 1″ x 1 ½.” It is very unusual to see an oval-shaped pendant. It is all the better being from a smaller state and with the man wearing a parade bush. The pendant is in excellent condition.
