DESK PIECE – MINIATURE PICKELHAUBE

This is a silver-toned pickelhaube that was used as a desk piece, probably on an officer’s desk.

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.

    PATRIOTIC BOX – COMMEMORATING KAISER WILHELM II

    This is an interesting wooden box commemorating Kaiser Wilhelm II and Germany during WW I. The box sports an unusual shape and measures 9 5/8″ x 6 7/8″ x 5 ½.” All of its measurements include curves. Its top is especially interesting, with tiers at three different elevations. A wide array of Art Deco-style design decals, including oak leaves with acorns (signifying strength), swords, lyres, and varying floral designs were applied to its surface when it was made (during the Imperial German Period). As you look down at the box’s top, you read “Mitt Gott,” “Fuer (Für),” “Kaiser und,” and “Reich” on its four sides. In the center is an appropriately silver and black 1914 Iron Cross. A hasp that fastens over a loop is present, which one can be secured with a small lock (not included). The hasp was broken at some point and has been repaired. The box stands on four balled feet. Some parts of the box display small cracks, but they are barely noticeable. They do NOT affect the box’s structural integrity. This is an attractive box that will display well, as well as contain a goodly number of your personal treasures.

  • KAISER WILHELM II BELL & STAND

    SKU: 20-278

    $725.00

    I have occasionally seen a “Kaiser Bell” like this example over the years. Known as “Gloriosa,” it is a replica of the “Emperor Bell” from the Cologne (Köln) Cathedral, that was given as an award. I always found these bells quite interesting, but for some reason I never bought one. When I was offered this one recently, I was surprised to find that the bells were originally awarded with special bases on which to display them. It was the first time that I had seen such a base (which fits the bell perfectly). I am proud to offer you this fine pair together. The brass bell stands 5″ tall by itself. Its circumference is 10 ½” at its widest point. It measures 3 5/16″ in diameter at the base. Its handle is decorated with cherubim heads, and measures 2 1/8.” Some silver plating remains visible. A Prussian eagle emblem is featured on the bell’s obverse, while a high-relief representation of St. Peter graces the reverse. A banner encircles the bell’s top section, with the following saying printed in German Fraktur, “Die Kaiserglocke heiß ich, des Kaisers Ehren preis ich. Auf heilger Warte steh’ ich, Dem deutschen Reich erfleh’ ich. Dass fried’ und Wehr/Ihm Gott bescheer.” (The Emperor bell is my name, I praise the emperor’s honor. I stand on the holy watchtower, I invoke the German Reich, That peace and protection / God bestows on him). The bell’s clapper is made of lead. These bells have been featured in Anselm Lange’s European Hand Bells, 1981, p. 252 and with the base in L. E. Springer’s The Collector’s Book of Bells, 1972, p. 100.The hexagonal (six-sided) stand measures 5″ across, and stands 1 3/8″ tall. When the bell is placed on the stand, its height is 6 3/8″ tall overall. The portion that the bell rests on is quite ornate, with a gothic-style breakthrough window in the center adorned with fleurs-de-lis. More stylized fleurs-de-lis and other floral patterns decorate its sides. The bell and stand are quite substantial, weighing 2 pounds and 7 ounces.
