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. Shipping charges are dependent on the buyer’s location].

This is a promotion patent in fine condition for a young man by the name of von Münstermann. He was promoted from Premier Lieutenant (Oberleutnant) to Hauptmann. In his new role he was a Batterie Chef (Commander) in 1. Westfälisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr 7. The regiment was founded in 1816. It was garrisoned at Wesel-Düsseldorf and assigned to the VII. ArmeeKorps. The document measures 14 ½” x 9.” It was boldly signed in black ink by Kaiser Wilhelm I on 14 December 1875. Directly under Wilhelm I’s signature we see the House of Hohenzollern’s embossed royal seal. The document has been folded in half one way, and into thirds the other. The document is complete, but has some separation in one fold. This does not cause a problem in viewing any part of the document or the signature. It is a fine example of a document that is more than one-hundred-thirty-five years old.

This is a high-quality Feldartillerie officer’s promotion patent in beautiful condition. His name was Spielberg. The document is two sided and measures 8 ½” x 14 1/4.” The second page bears Kaiser Wilhelm II’s bold black-ink signature, as well as a Hohenzollern Eagle-embossed seal. Spielberg was promoted from the rank of Oberleutnant der Reserve to that of Hauptmann der Reserve. This seems a bit unusual to me, a Hauptmann who was a reservist, primarily because I have not encountered one before. Chances are he had been in the Army for some time, and had been a reservist even longer! The document was signed by Wilhelm II at the Neues Palais (New Palace) on 18 June 1908. The document is in excellent condition, still fresh and crisp after more than one-hundred plus years. I am especially pleased by the signature of Kaiser Wilhelm II. It is quite large, 2 3/4″ x 5 1/4.”
