  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].

  GERMANY – PLATE – ZEPPELIN

  SKU: 21-319

  $1,295.00

   Zeppelin tableware is very prized among collectors. Today we have an unusual offering to share with you, a gorgeous salad plate. You may have seen similar examples among tableware from the Graf Zeppelin(LZ 127) or the Hindenburg (LZ 129). The elegant plate sports a wide gold trim band around its rim, with a narrower blue band immediately below it. An even thinner gold band is located several inches further down, where it encircles the plates central depression. The plate measures 8″ in diameter. The plate’s face features a legend, “Deutsche Zeppelin Reederei,” encircling a globe that encloses a zeppelin. All of the latter is situated above and parallel to the plate’s six o’clock position, where it is intersected by the inmost thin gold band.  [A three-quarter-inch hairline stress mark appears at the plate’s seven o’clock position, running from behind the second “p” in “Deutsche Zeppelin Reederei”(beneath the globe) down to the thinner gold trim band’s edge. It cannot be felt when one runs a fingernail over it.  It appears to be under the glazing that was applied to the plate.  We have included it in our accompanying photographs].
  Here is where the plate differs from standard zeppelin tableware. At its twelve o’clock position, located halfway between the blue trim band and the inmost slender gold band is a blue oval. The oval contains the initials “WB,” rendered in white and stacked atop one another. Both the blue oval and the white initials are thinly outlined in gold. Certain important families who were zeppelin“frequent-flyers” often commissioned tableware for their private use when onboard. Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin’s daughter married into a family whose last name began with “B.” I do not have a firm lead on the family name, but I was told that they had a financial interest in the Zeppelin Company.
  On the salad plate’s bottom, we see a hallmark for Heinrich and Company in Bavaria, who produced the tableware for the Zeppelin Company. The salad plate is in superb condition.
