Speckled brown bakelite 6×30 Dienstglas container marked jhg 44

A stunning speckled brown bakelite 6×30 binocular case. Later in the war when the Germans ran out of pigment for bakelite they switched over to different fillers. Sawdust was one of the filling materials used, creating a interesting speckled finish. The brown bakelite dienstglas containers where mostly found with tan 6×30 binoculars. One of the leather belt straps is nicely marked jhg 44 which indicates production by Gustav Genschow u. Co., AG, Lederwarenfabriken, Alstadt-Hachenburg. The case is in untouched as found condition and undamaged condition and has a very aesthetic and vibrant light brown colour which would nicely attribute a late war uniform setup.
