Opening the mystery box: an interesting mother cross document...

[Giel VW]

Hi guys

After this thread a few months back I will pick an other document out of the LDO shop grouping to share with you guys. This document came from "Wilhelm Froese, Hagen" He was a businessman and probably one of the chain connections to get the products from the wholesalers to the small LDO shops spread over the country.

The documents tells us that there will soon be 5 million mother crosses awarded (it was only 1939) Therefore the demand of ribbons and miniatures will grow along. The small document offers a nice variety of these.

Note that the soon forbidden mc mini was still available.

Hope you guys like it!

Indeed a super piece of paper added there

I knew Froese did exists i have the page with crosses in my files but had only one line that it was from Froese with no proof. But thanks to Giel it's now confirmed thats indeed him.

Hi,

Great to see a period document like this which describes many variations of the Mother's Cross.
Wish they were still available at period prices though!
Wonder if anyone on the forum has all the manufactured variations?
I would bet someone has!


Very best wishes,

John.
