Pocket Litter

Rare Kriegsmarine emergency ration 300 gr Notverpflegung in good condition. Rare container!

Beautiful Zeiler 4350 torch in a lovely brown/black colour. The bakelite and glass is all undamaged.

Very nice period bakelite torch or Taschenlampe in good condition. This example is nicely marked and manufactured by Zeiler. Sadly this example has a small crack on the closing cap. Hard to find a green coloured bakelite example!

Mint aluminium Heer spoon marked with eagle and W100 W.H. The spoon is in mint, unissued condition. Really impossible to upgrade example! I have found a small number of these. The price is for one piece but they are all stunning, mint and impossible to upgrade!

Small Luftwaffe knife in good condition. Nice early example, small variant!

Steel Göffel marked G&CL 42 in used condition. Hard to find steel example markd G&CL 42 indicating production by Gerhard & Co., Lüdenscheid in 1941. Nice uncommon example!

Period powdered milk can by Edelweiss Milchwerk K. Hoefelmayr-Kempten Allgau. This is a pre 1943 produced tin that used to contain powdered milk. These canisters were produced for the civilian market but most probably also found their way into the rucksacks of individual soldiers, bunkers or field kitchens. The can is most probably produced in 1943 or 1944 with its expiry dated reading 1945.  These canisters are also shown in the reference book by Jimmy L. Pool, Ruhetag: The Day to Day Life of the German Soldier in WWII, Vol. 1: Health and Hygiene on page 56. Which is a great book for any collector.

This canister is a period example produced prior to 1943. It is important for me to explain that these in no way have anything to do with the elsewhere offered ‘Edelweiss’ toilet paper rolls which are in fact modern fantasy items. The price on the top reads RM indicating Reichsmarks. Every 6 of these canisters are slightly different in height, colour and print. This is a great indication of the authenticity because a modern copy would be fully identical in all forms. You will get the pictured example which was produced in 1941 or 1942 with the expiry date reading 1943. I have found 6 of these canisters in good condition and I think I will not find more. Hard to find original ration item with a great and iconic image!

Typical wartime “Knijpkat” torch. These flashlights where made utilizing forced labour from Konzentrationslager Herzogenbusch. Unlike most of the wartime used flashlights the “knijpkat” doesn’t have a battery but uses a small internal dynamo. The mechanism is in working condition. The “knijpkat” is in further mint condition and would look perfect in a display

Aluminum RAD spoon marked ESM 42 in good used condition.

Aluminum Luftwaffe tea spoon marked FLUV and GAG 41

Typical issue wristwatch in good used condition. The watch is marked Glycine and Stahl boden Wasserdicht on the back. The watch is serialized D92905H. The wristwatch is a typical Wehrmacht issue, not private purchase piece. The watch is in functional condition as far as my expertise goes.  The watch is complete with a period correct looking strap. The glass sadly has one small crack from the 9 to the 11 cypher. A real Dienstuhr can be the finishing touch on a mannequin!

Early Aluminium goggle case in good used condition, could be cleaned. These cases are normally observed manufactured in thin sheet metal later in the war. Nice example

Rare general purpose goggles by Merz-Werke, Spez, Fbk., Frankfurt/ M.R. which are rather rare! These have a thin elastic rope instead of just a fabric strap to keep the goggles in place! Nice example made out of black Ersatz material with brown Ersatz material pouch as well!

Nice original Göffel marked GK&F 40 which indicates production by Gebr. kugel & Fink, Lüdenscheid in 1940. The maker Gebr. Kugel & Fink, Lüdenscheid is mainly known for their production of belt buckles but they produced a lot more than just belt buckles!

Typical wartime “Knijpkat” torch. These flashlights where made utilizing forced labour from Konzentrationslager Herzogenbusch. Unlike most of the wartime used flashlights the “knijpkat” doesn’t have a battery but uses a small internal dynamo. The mechanism is still in great condition and the torch still works! Excellent example which is finished in blue paint which is a first for me!

Unissued Hohner Harmonika ‘Sonnige Jugend’. Typical period harmonika priced in Reichsmark at the back.

Rare Bakelite AEG hand dynamo torch in excellent condition. The torch is marked AEG indicating production by Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft which is a very well known German electronics manufacturer who still produces household devices today. The German counterpart to the Dutch Knijpkat, this aesthetic flashlight design is in good and working condition. The bakelite is as far as I can see it undamaged!

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!

Original aluminium spoon fork combination or Göffel in used condition. This is typical a WSuCL produced example but unlike 99% of these this example has been issued and used. Nice example!
