I have never come across anything quite like this. It is a small artillery shell section or shrapnel from an actual cannon that has had a blade inserted into it. A wooden pencil can be inserted in one end and turned in order to be sharpened. It is an intriguing little desk piece that stands 1″ tall and measures ½” in diameter at the top and bottom.

This is an extremely high-caliber, silver letter opener, featuring a representation of the Holstentor in Lübeck. The letter opener measures 9 3/4″ in length. It is hallmarked for .835 silver (along with the crown and moon) and the manufacturer, whose mark I do not recognize.

This is a soldbuch from Infanterie-Regiment Herzog Friedrich von Braunschweig (Ostfriesches) Nr 78. The soldier’s name was “Rabenberg.” Several of its pages are loose. We can see the regiment’s unit stamp and basic information about its owner. I see NO indication of service during WW I.

This is a handsome, Art Deco style, brown-leather box with brass corners and a hinged brass handle on top. The pebbled leather exterior may actually be Moroccan leather, as the leather on the box’s interior has more of a reddish tint. The handle is inscribed with its owner’s name, “Christ.n (abbreviated for Christian) Bove,” in black German Fraktur script……
PERSONAL STORAGE BOX – IDENTIFIED – LEATHER AND BRASS
This is a handsome, Art Deco style, brown-leather box with brass corners and a hinged brass handle on top. The pebbled leather exterior may actually be Moroccan leather, as the leather on the box’s interior has more of a reddish tint. The leather on the box’s exterior exhibits some slight wear and scuff marks, although a treatment with a good leather conditioner should alleviate the worn look. The box itself is very sturdily built and in excellent shape. Each brass corner fixture is outlined with a tooled, Art Deco design, which is repeated around the center-placed handle.
The handle is inscribed with its owner’s name, “Christ.n (abbreviated for Christian) Bove,” in black German Fraktur script. The handle is hinged so that it can fold down against the box’s exterior.
The box’s front sports a fine brass lock, which unfortunately lacks a key. The lock itself appears to be in working order and the hinges are sturdy.
The box’s interior is exquisitely lined with green felt that shows NO wear or tear. It could have held important papers, men’s toiletries or any number of other treasures.
