  GERMANY – TRUNK – ZEPPELIN-RELATED

  SKU: 03-133 A

  $995.00

  This is an interestingzeppelin-related footlocker.  The foot locker is quite stout and well made.  Its overall exterior dimensions are 32″ x 17″ x 18.”  The foot locker is not square.  Instead, it sports an arched top.  Two leather straps appear on the side.  In addition, it has decorative bars that measure 18 ½” x 2.”  Four decorative buttons appear on each bar. Three are on the top, two are on each side, and on the back.  One lock is present in the center that was secured by a key, which is NOT present.  Flanking it are two more locks that have NOT ever had keys. They are only manually locked down to help secure the locker’s top.

  The locker’s top sports a zeppelin’s profile, measuring 7″ x 1,” etched into its surface.  Upon opening the locker, we reveal a total of thirteen original photographs & postcards inside its lid. These tie-in quite well with the zeppelinmotif.  A removable partition/tray that measures 30 ½ x 16″ also is revealed when the locker is opened.  The pullout tray features six dividers on both the top and bottom.  Each of the six divided trays measures 11 3/4″ x 4 ½.”  If you imagine a letter divider’s appearance, this is quite similar, although on a larger scale. The tray can be removed.  An identical tray is at the bottom.  I do not understand why the upper tray is double-sided.

  The foot locker is quite sturdy and well built, which also means it is quite HEAVY.  [This item will require special shipping and handling. Contact us directly by phone to receive  an accurate shipping quote for your location].

  PRUSSIA – CREPE PAPER DESIGNS – HOHENZOLLERN EAGLE AND GERMAN NATIONAL FLAG (2)

  SKU: 12-373

  $25.00

  When I first came across these I thought they were paper napkins. Having said that, it made no sense. Napkins during the Imperial Period were always made of linen! Then I looked closer and saw that they were not made of ordinary paper but crepe paper, instead. We have two of them, featuring a design with the Hohenzollern Eagle and the German National flag (in color). They measure 7 3/4″ x 7 3/8.” Let your imagination run wild on how you want to use these in your collection.

  GERMANY – INK WELL – BIEDERMAIER PERIOD

  SKU: 18-57

  $195.00

  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.
