    REUSS – TELEGRAM – KAISERIN HERMINE – SIGNED

    This is a telegram that was signed by Kaiserin-in-exile Hermine (1887-1947). Hermine was Kaiser Wilhelm II’s (1859-1941) second wife. She was a Princess of Reuss. Her first husband died about the same time as did Kaiser Wilhelm II’s first wife, Augusta Viktoria, in 1921. They met in 1922 and were married that same year. She lived with him for the remainder of his life. The telegram, which measures 8″ x 11,” came from Haus (Huis) Doorn in January 1933. In it she thanks a well-wisher on behalf of her husband for kind birthday greetings. It is signed by Hermine in the same purplish grease pencil often used at the front during WW I by officers signing documents. The telegram is in very fine condition.

  • FRAMED COLLAGE – KAISER WILHELM I

    SKU: 20-143

    $1,195.00

    This is a fascinating framed collage of artifacts relating to Kaiser Wilhelm I (1797-1888). To begin, the framed collage measures 26″ x 29 1/2.” The framing is very high-quality but modern-day, not period. The frame displays a beautiful gilded molding that sets off the items within the frame quite handsomely. At the frame’s bottom is a brass plaque that states “Kaiser Wilhelm I 1797-1888.” Within the frame are three different windows that have been created to house three items. Each of the windows is double-matted to set off the contents even more attractively. To the far left is a front page newspaper dated 13 March 1888. The newspaper measures 20 1/4″ x 15,” and is from Bremen. It carries the story of the Kaiser’s death, along with key points of his life. On display at the top right is a high-quality, printed notice of a memorial service for the Kaiser by the “Deutschen Vereinen Londons (Germans United in/with London) on 24 March 1888. This measures 9 1/4″ x 7.” Finally, on the bottom right is Kaiser Wilhelm I’s formal portrait, measuring 7″ x 4 3/4.” It also displays his distinctive signature in black ink. This magnificent presentation deserves a special place in your home or office. [As this is a very large presentation, professional packing will be required to ensure safe delivery to its new owner.

  • DOCUMENT FOR A YOUNG LEUTNANT – SIGNED BY KING FRIEDRICH WILHELM IV – PRUSSIA

    SKU: 19-122

    $450.00

    This is an ORIGINAL letter signed by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV (1795-1861). Friedrich Wilhelm IV was King of Prussia (1840-1850). He was removed from the throne after he went insane. The letter was written in the castle at Charlottenburg on 30 December 1847. This dealt with the promotion of a young Portopeefähnrich to Second Lieutenant. The officer in question was Graf zu Stolberg Wernigerode. This action was taken by Friedrich Wilhelm IV as the head of the Gardekorps. The young officer was attached to 1. Garde-Regiment zu Füsilier. It is a fine early promotion patent to a young nobleman. The format is different from what was used by both Kaiser Wilhelm I and II.
