Wahrzeichen aus Eiserner Zeit – Quartet Game

This quartet game, titled "Wahrzeichen aus Eiserner Zeit" (Landmarks of the Iron Time), was produced by O. & M. Hausser in Ludwigsburg, Germany. It belongs to a series of educational and entertainment games popular in early 20th-century Germany. The box features a depiction of Emperor Karl der Große (Charlemagne), symbolizing strength and resilience, ideals central to the "Iron Time" era during World War I.

Hausser's games were widely used for both education and recreation, often celebrating German landmarks, cultural symbols, and military achievements. This game, numbered 612, highlights important German monuments and figures from the period, presenting a patriotic tone suitable for its wartime context.

• Box shows signs of age with scuffing, edge wear, and a partially torn label, consistent with vintage items of this era.
• The cards are in good condition overall, with slight wear on the edges but no significant damage. All 48 cards are intact.
• The interior insert and instruction card are included, making this a complete set.
• Publisher: O. & M. Hausser, Ludwigsburg.
• Game Contents: 48 cards, each colorfully illustrated with landmarks and monuments.
• Box Dimensions: Approximately 6” x 4” x 2”.
• Series Reference: Instruction card lists additional games from the same series, such as Kriegsmarine-Quartett and Die Eroberung der Luft.

Why This Item Stands Out:
This complete set represents both a historical artifact and a collectible for enthusiasts of World War I-era Germany. The patriotic motifs and detailed illustrations reflect the cultural sentiment of the "Iron Time," making it a rare find for collectors of period games or historical ephemera.

Recommended Display Options:

• Place the cards in a clear display case alongside the original box.
• Use shadow box frames to highlight notable illustrations from the set.

This rare quartet game is priced competitively given its condition, completeness, and historical relevance. Perfect for collectors of vintage German games, WWI-era memorabilia, or those with an interest in early 20th-century German cultural artifacts.
