Pocket Litter

Second pattern orange butterdish marked 3x K by Heinrich Ulbricht in excellent condition.

Very rare and extremely scarce Eberhard Faber Taktik-Etui Nr. 542 in excellent condition. The pouch features all 4 coloured (yellow, red, blue & black) propelling pencils which are all undamaged and complete with their fillings inside! The pouch also contains its original tube for spare fillings. The pouch even contains the “Marschleistungen” measurement tool which is virtually always missing from these sets. This set only misses a period eraser and the belt loop has been removed, which was sometimes done when worn inside the mapcase. These sets were privately purchased from the manufacturer Eberhard Faber which designed this set together with some other products (such as the Krokierstifte) in a line with products designed for usage within the Wehrmacht (Spezial-Erzeugnisse für die Wehrmacht). The pouch itself is designed to be worn on the belt or to be attached to a button on the uniform, the pouch is manufactured from high quality brown coloured leather. Extremely rare set which are very collectible but very hard to encounter, especially in this condition! This set is coming from own personal collection!

Distance meter or Kurvenmesser. The Kurvenmesser is in great working condition. Although these are mostly advertised as ‘ Wehrmacht ‘ or being a issued piece; these are all privately purchased. To be quite frank; 99% of the offered examples on the market today are most probably post war, with this one being no different other then it being advertised correctly. These pieces are however exactly the same as the 1940’s examples as the factories that made these never really changed the ‘winning’ concept. A nice mapcase accessory in good working condition at a sharp price.

Very nice typical private purchased map ruler in good condition. Nice original 1:1000 scale example!

Deckungswinkelmesser or Indirect fire calculator made by J.D. Möller G.m.b.H., Wedel. This little device helps to calculate distances and hight differences in terrain. This tool was a issue piece in the mapcase and very hard to find. The Duckungswinkelmesser is in very good condition.

Period powdered milk can by Edelweiss Milchwerk K. Hoefelmayr-Kempten Allgau. This is a pre 1945 produced tin containing 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 1945. 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. 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 1943 or 1944, which in this case, still retains its original contents as far as I can judge. 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!
