Small AH Formal Pattern Silverwear Collection

[Larry Lipps]

A friend of mine has a complete silver service for 16 in the original storage chest of Eva Braun's silverware. I can't believe I only took two photos when I visited him, because it was really an impressive set. Anyway, here's the two photos I took. Must be a different maker than the AH silverware. The AH mark is on the red background and the EB is on the blue.

Heres an interesting set of 31 peices of AH Silverwear - Found it at a Veterans Estate sale - he was a member in WWII of the 329th Harbor Craft Company, this unit was responsible for getting captured harbors/vessels back in operation during the war. Along with the silverwear there was documentation of his service and where he had aquired the silverwear - it came from Hitlers Launch(Yacht) the "Hansa Stadt Koln" which was given to AH by the City of Koln along with the contents, AH would use this to travel on the Rhine river.Along with the documentation there were newspaper clippings of the time reflecting this Yacht and its capture - In the veterans footlocker along with the silver was also a Nazi flag and a few other items. The daughter was selling everything to include the house as the veterans widow was going to a home -

I have contacted the maker "Zillingswerk" and they did reply that they had made the design/handles and that "Kayser-Adler"who is no longer in business made the blades - Zwilling did indicate that they were manufactured for the city of Koln during the period but as most old ducuments were stored in there basement and not on computer files they would continue their research and let me know if and when they found more info.

Dear Eric

Do you use the silverwear ?

[Eric Von Rader]

VERY interesting! Thanks for posting!

[Ewan S]

wow great collection you have there!

[Eric Von Rader]

Here is some new items I just added, the rare gravy ladle and fish fork. I have been informed the fish fork is a bit hard to find than the standard forks.
The ladle is quite heavy and impressive due to the construction.

[Jon Fish]

Erich, I used to own 2 of the ladles, both slightly different bowl size. The nicest pieces IMO. Maybe thats one I used to own....

[Eric Von Rader]

I have been collecting this stuff for 6 years and never came across the ladle before. I also snagged the pie server at the MAX show this year. I did own the informal pie server but sold it.

If you have any examples please post them!

[ErichS]

Eric, again a fine collection. Here's a cake server from my collection that was liberated from Fritz Sauckel's home.

neat example. I have noticed the past 2 years prices have jumped up, despite the recession. When I started collecting these examples 5-6 years ago most were $400.00 each. Not the case now days....

I you have any to sell/trade I am interested!!!!

Eric, have you seen any other Sauckel pieces? So far this is the only one I have seen thus far. Best, Erich

[Eric Von Rader]

I have seen them around before, but I do not own any.
