Militaria

Excellent and rare bakelite salt container/dispenser. These are believed to be especially designed for use in tropical climates. The container is nicely marked amh/K, amh is a 3 letter for the manufacturer which is quite uncommon for bakelite items, K indicates the usage of urea resin (which is a certain type of Bakelite) with an organic filler material. Nice and hard to find example!

Excellent bakelite pattern Stirnlampe or headlight in its original pouch in excellent condition. The head band which is still flexible and the cable are both in good and most likely working condition. The normally bakelite battery case is marked etl indicating production by Krieger u. Faudt, Berlin. The bakelite part on the Stirnlampe or headlamp is nicely marked ROKA which indicates production by Robert Karst, Berlin. The headlamp or Stirnlampe comes in its original storage pouch which is virtually always missing and not available as a spare! The pouch itself is in great condition and nicely marked CNN41 and WaA 584 which indicates most likely a subcontractor who produced these storage pouches for ROKA. These headlight are hard to find, let alone executed in undamaged bakelite with the original storage pouch!

Wehrmacht issue carbide container marked caw indicating production by Caspar Arnold, Winkhaus. These containers were issued together with the Eintheitslaterne 37 to carry spare fuel (carbid). Virtually these containers always are in bad condition, broken or cracked, this example is in excellent condition!
