ZEPPELIN – CAP BADGE.
This is an interesting cap badge that I have never seen before. It measures 1.5” x 1.75.” It is silver-toned and oval-shaped. The outer portion features an oak leaf wreath. Inside it is a vertical anchor, and a horizontal zeppelin emblazoned with the name “Zeppelin” across it. The wreath displays two prongs whereby the badge was attached to a cap. The badge is stamped in a similar manner to an Army or Navy Wound Badge.

This is a most unusual painting on wood, circa 1910. The painting shows the palace built by order of Frederick the Great in Potsdam, Sans Soucci. It is one of the most fascinating of the Prussian royal palaces. When it was built, it was intended to be a summer palace for Frederick the Great when he wanted to get away from all of the hubbub of Berlin. It remains a beautiful site today. I enjoy touring it when we are in the Potsdam area. What is so unusual about this piece is that the artist did his work on wood, instead of canvas or paper. I am no expert, but this is a beautiful light wood. The artist used a knife to cut indentations around and within all the painted areas. This gives the illusion that the picture is created from different colored pieces of inlaid wood. Some patterns even have small pieces of wood cut out to further the illusion. Close inspection, however, reveals that the images are PAINTED, notinlaid. The painting’s actual surface measures 17″ x 10 1/4.” The full, framed picture measures 20 1/4″ X 13 3/4.” A black-framed rectangular area, measuring 15 1/4″ x 8 1/2,” is painted inside the overall surface. This imitates a matte within a framed picture. Inside this area at the bottom is a classic view of Sans Soucci. An early pre WW I zeppelin is flying in the sky above. The presentation has a black wooden frame, trimmed in gold. What appears to be the artist’s signature is on the painting’s reverse. It looks like “FJ.” This is a superb piece of work, very different from what we often see. It is totally original and unique! [Special shipping will be required on this item.

This is a marvelous framed collage of items that relate to zeppelins. A total of four items appear in the collage. They range in dates from 1917 to 1937. I will describe the four items chronologically.
1) Photograph of Navy Zeppelin L53. The L53 also held the production number of LZ 100. It was launched on 8 August 1917. During its service, it flew nineteen reconnaissance missions and four bombing missions over England. It was shot down over England on 11 August 1918 by a Royal Naval Air Service Lieutenant flying a Sopwith Camel. The photo, which measures 6 7/8″ x 4 1/8,” shows the L 53 as she is rolled out of her hanger. The zeppelin’s stern appears in the photograph.
2) Graf Zeppelin World Flight Badge from 1929. A wide variety of badges were produced, covering a great assortment of zeppelin badges like this. Some were world flight badges and others were more regionalized. The badge measures 1 3/4″ in diameter. The edge proclaims “Graf Zeppelin Weltflug 1929.” The badge’s center shows the Graf Zeppelin in profile. She is superimposed over a blue and green map of the world. While it cannot be seen, these had a pin on the reverse. They are VERY prized by collectors.
3) Newspaper clipping from 19 October 1933. The clipping comes from a newspaper in Hanover. The headline reads“Deutsche Zeppeline über York.” The article deals with zeppelins that flew over and bombed York in England during WW I. At the end of the article, another smaller article deals with a speed record set by the Graf Zeppelin.
4) Crew uniform button from either the Graf Zeppelin or the Hindenburg. The gilt-toned button is a post 1933 example. The button has an eagle with the world in his claws. Superimposed over the globe is a zeppelin. At the globe’s bottom is a swastika.
The collage is framed in a black with gold trim and measures 16 ½” x 14 3/4.” It is a great historical collage that will be of particular interest to you zeppelin collectors.

This is an interesting early table medal for the Graf Zeppelin. The table medal is gilt-colored and measures 1″ in diameter. The obverse features the Graf Zeppelin in profile, along with the date 1928 and “Graf Zeppelin.” On the reverse we see something most interesting, the symbol for Shell Oil Co. Within the shell we also see the word “Shell.” I would expect that this is some kind of sponsorship deal that the Zeppelin Company had with Shell Oil.
